Newhouse Hardware Hardwired Chime Kit with 16V/30VA Transformer, White Lighted Button

The Newhouse Hardware Hardwired Chime Kit is a complete, UL-rated doorbell solution that includes a 2-note chime, a 16-volt/30VA transformer, and a white lighted surface-mount push button for easy installation.

This kit supplies the essential components to replace or install a conventional hardwired doorbell system. It pairs a compact two-note chime with a class 2 transformer that meets UL standards and a weather-resistant, lighted push button designed for surface mounting on wood or masonry. The package targets homeowners and installers who want a straightforward wired setup without sourcing parts individually.

How simple is installation for the Newhouse Hardware chime kit?

Installation is designed for hardwired setups and can be completed with basic electrical knowledge or by a qualified electrician. The surface-mount button mounts directly to the doorframe or exterior wall, while the transformer installs near the electrical panel or a junction box.

• Includes transformer with 120 Vac input and 16V/30VA output for standard doorbell wiring.
• Chime mounts on drywall or trim and measures 7-3/16" by 4" for compact placement.
• Button size 7/8" x 5/8" x 2-3/4" for low-profile exterior mounting.
• Wiring terminals on the chime and transformer simplify connections.

Will this kit work with my smart or video doorbell?

The transformer supplies 16 volts AC at up to 30 VA, which suits many legacy and some smart doorbells, but compatibility varies. Always check your smart device’s manufacturer requirements before connecting to ensure the voltage and VA rating match.

• Transformer is class 2 and UL rated for safety and consistent output.
• 16V/30VA output supports most mechanical and many electronic doorbells.
• If your smart doorbell specifies a different VA rating or requires a power kit, follow the device maker’s guidance.
• When in doubt, consult the smart doorbell support documentation or an electrician.

What sound and placement options does the chime offer?

The chime produces a clear two-note sound intended for front-door signaling. Its compact footprint allows flexible placement inside the home so the chime can be positioned for optimal audibility without dominating wall space.

• Two-note chime suitable for front door notifications.
• 7-3/16" width and 4" height fits standard hallway or entryway locations.
• Surface-mount button is lighted to help guests find it at night.
• Wiring compatibility supports typical single-button doorbell setups.

What safety and durability features does the kit include?

The transformer is UL rated and class 2, designed to meet common electrical safety standards. The lighted push button is built for exterior use and mounts without recessed installation, reducing exposure to ongoing moisture and wear.

• UL-rated transformer for reliable, code-friendly performance.
• Surface-mount button reduces cutting or chasing into siding or trim.
