The ZOLL AED Plus OEM Semi-Recessed Mount Cabinet with Alarm (MPN 8000-0814) is the manufacturer's semi-recessed wall cabinet designed for the ZOLL AED Plus defibrillator. Built by ZOLL Medical Corporation, the cabinet combines powder-coated baked-on epoxy steel construction with a full acrylic window and a door-activated audible alarm.
Semi-recessed installation means the back box sits inside the wall cavity while the cabinet's perimeter trim overlaps the wall surface. The result is a cleaner architectural appearance than a surface-mount cabinet but installation requires cutting an opening in the drywall, so this style is best chosen during new construction, renovations, or when the existing wall has a stud bay deep enough to accommodate the box.
The cabinet ships with an integrated mounting shelf pre-sized for the AED Plus chassis, so the device seats correctly and the rescue-ready indicator stays visible through the window. The 3.875-inch interior depth holds the AED Plus on its bracket plus one spare set of electrode pads, turning the cabinet into a complete rescue station with no additional hardware required.
The 8000-0814 cabinet is engineered specifically for the ZOLL AED Plus. The integrated bracket and interior dimensions are sized for the AED Plus form factor and will not accommodate other AED models.
This cabinet is designed to hold the ZOLL AED Plus without its soft carry case. The AED sits directly on the integrated bracket inside the cabinet. If your facility requires storing the AED Plus inside its carry case, this is not the right cabinet call our team for a deeper alternative.
ZOLL offers three OEM storage options for the AED Plus. The right choice depends on how much wall protrusion your facility can accept, whether your wall supports a cutout, and how visible you want the cabinet to be from down the corridor.
Semi-recessed installation requires cutting a rough opening in the wall sized for the cabinet's back box. The perimeter trim then overlaps the wall surface, while the box itself sits inside the wall cavity. Before cutting, confirm the wall has clear space behind it no electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or structural framing in the planned opening.
Always confirm the exact rough-opening size from the installation diagram supplied with the cabinet before cutting drywall. Standard 2x4 stud wall construction (3.5-inch nominal stud depth) provides sufficient cavity depth for the back box.
