remove smoke detector from electrical closet
(OP)
Hi there
Is there any restriction to remove a smoke detector fom an electrical closet
The closet size is 6'x3'. In front of the closet is a double door which avoid the clearances problems. The contractor is requesting to remove the smoke detector due to the lack of space to install it.
Is there any restriction that you know or a standard that I can refer to to make the contractor install the smoke in place.
Thanks for your help.

RE: remove smoke detector from electrical closet
You really need to ask the AHJ who will be inspecting it. I've been able to talk them into changing smoke detector to heat detector in certain instances, but I can't cite you a code reference that says you can undo it completely.
Let us know how it goes (especially if you don't get a better answer from another tech-tipper).
Best to ya,
Old Dave
