Hager 2-659-0168 Round 4.5" Weather Ring – Exterior Protection for Push Plates

The Hager 2-659-0168 is a vital protective accessory designed to safeguard automatic door actuators from the elements. Specifically engineered for 4.5" round push plates, this weather ring provides a robust seal against moisture, rain, and environmental debris.
