What is the required height range for a manual pull station above the finished floor?

Manual pull stations must be installed within a height range of 3 to 4 feet above the finished floor to ensure accessibility for all individuals, including those who may use wheelchairs or have mobility challenges. This height range aligns with national standards and codes for fire alarm systems, which aim to prioritize safety and ensure that anyone can easily reach the station in an emergency situation.

By setting this standard, the regulations ensure that the pull stations are convenient for use, while also keeping them out of reach of children or accidental activation. The specificity of the range helps maintain uniformity across various installations, making it easier for emergency responders to locate and use these devices effectively during an emergency.
