NFPA 72 Fire Alarm Spacing Requirements

Fire alarm systems utilize initiating and notification devices to determine when there is a fire and warn building occupants. The placement of these devices impacts how effectively they will operate and is a critical aspect of designing and installing a fire alarm system. This webinar is based on the NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code and will focus on the spacing requirements of automatic detection devices such as smoke and heat detectors. Participants will also become familiar with the basics of notification device layout with focus on rooms and corridors as well as requirements that apply to sleeping areas. Common questions such as “How high off the floor?” and “How far apart?” will be discussed.

Learning Objectives:
•Understand how to locate and use NFPA 72 spacing requirements.
•Explain spacing requirements for smoke and heat detectors.
•Learn notification device layout requirements for rooms and corridors.
•Describe sleeping area requirements for notification devices.
