smoke alarms by ceiling fans

[Ragin Cajun]

I just got tagged on this too. It's in the installation guide:

Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (.9m) of the following: the
door to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom containing a tub or shower, forced
air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas.

I completely missed ceiling until the inspector pointed it out. Here they want them 64" from the fan box.

From where are they making the measurement? To the edge of the smoke detector or to the centerline?

The second call was about a one item correction letter, that one item was the light fixture schedule calling out two heads per track light, but 3 par 38 lamps.:roll:

Spares? :grin:
