I believe that NFPA 72 used to call out a height of 80"-96" above the floor. I can't find it. Can anyone tell me if it is still there?
4.28.3* Visual Alarms. Visual alarm signal appliances shall be integrated into the building or facility alarm system. If single station audible alarms are provided then single station visual alarm signals shall be provided. Visual alarm signals shall have the following minimum photometric and location features:
(6) The appliance shall be placed 80 in (2030 mm) above the highest floor level within the space or 6 in (152 mm) below the ceiling, whichever is lower.

I could use this on a project I'm working on now. I didn't know there was wiggle room. Is this in 72?roger said:Ryan and Trevor, NC uses the NFPA 72 rule and also allows ceiling mounted strobes.
