Does anyone know if there is a code against switches mounted in exhaust hoods at a height of 86" ?
We wire hoods for a pizza chain. and the hoods come with two switches built in. One for the fans and one for the lights. We have always removed them and blanked off the opening with a 2 gang over sized stainless steel blank plate. Because of the height of the switches.
We put a two pole red lighted switch in a wall mounted 48" to center.
Is there an NEC code against switches mounted at 86" or maybe a ADA code ?
We are trying to get the hood manufacture to STOP making more work .. we believe its not allowed to have switches that high.
If you know the code reference .. please let me know
Thanks
