Currently we are building a floor plan that has two combo alarms the living room space. On one side of the living room there’s a master bedroom entry, the other side is a guest bedroom entry space. What are the dimensions for a combo alarm to be installed between a living space and a bedroom space? Can we put one alarm in the middle of the living space and split the spacing between the two bedroom spaces?
Hi Elliot:
Here is a installation instructions from a major manufacture of smoke alarms.
"Put CO/smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway or large room if the hallway or room is more than 30 feet (9.1 m) long."
I recommend you get current copy of NFPA 72 and review it for your application, and consult your local codes on the issue.
Respectfully,
Milt Werner
