Nfpa 72 the national fire alarm and signalling code requires the operating switch of manual pull stations to be located between 42 and 48 inches from the floor.
Fire alarm pull station height ada.
The relocator lowers the height without the need for pulling new wires and moving the existing electric box.
The manual station relocator is designed to lower the height of a fire alarm pull station to meet ada requirements.
The ada provides two ways to make operable parts accessible to wheelchair users.
Through a forward reach or a side reach.
The force to activate the pull lever cannot be greater than five pounds.
Nfpa 72 standards state that the operable part of the pull station shall be between 3 1 3 ft and 4 1 2 ft.
The pull lever cannot require tight grasping pinching or twisting of the wrist.
Ada fire extinguisher heights and fire alarm pull station placement must allow wheelchair users access and ease of operation.
The pull lever must be operable with one hand.
To the best of my knowledge ada says to follow nfpa 72 standards.
In a forward reach the wheelchair user approaches the object head on.
Fire alarm pulls must meet the following requirements for operable parts.
In addition the pull lever.
Most existing pull stations are mounted 60 inches 1524 mm or higher above the floor.
