Re: Pull Station Height

["ABLE_1" <royboynospam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Crash, thanks for the response.

That is just it the AHJ is specify ICC ANSI  A117.1-2003 as the Bible for
the pull station mounting height.  So I have been searching and the best I
can find (15 minutes ago) is a discussion group statement of 15" to 48" for
all devices.

So I could go and ask verbally the question of the AHJ but I would like to
read it for myself first.  The AHJ seems to want to specify in writing the
paragraph with chapter and verse but simply does not give the body of text.

Any references to the ANSI A117.1-2003 would be helpful.

Thanks.

Les
