95
Q

.7 Rule : If we take 30’ and multiply it by 0.7 we arrive at a new spacing for smoke detectors of 21’. This is the reason, NFPA 72 clearly states that for corridors or rooms 10’ in width or less, smoke detectors can be located 21.5’ feet from the end wall and spaced 41’ between detectors.
30’x .7= 21’
10’wide extends to 41’, 15’-39’, 20’-37’, 25’-34’ If we take the manufacturer’s recommended spacing of 30’ for smoke detectors we can cover 900 square feet since 30’ x 30’ is 900’. Keep in mind that this is not incorporating the 0.7 rule
