fire alarm wiring above ceiling commercial kitchen

fire alarm wiring above ceiling commercial kitchen

(OP)
Hi there
Is there any restriction in exposing the wiring for fire alarm above the ceiling of a commercial kitchen of about 20'x60'? I have not found any restriction other than the "NEC 110-11 Deteriorating agents" article. Is there any restriction on any NFPA standard that keep me from use exposed wiring for the fire alarm system above the ceiling in a kitchen as described?
Thanks in advance for all your comments.

RE: fire alarm wiring above ceiling commercial kitchen

As long as you support it in a workmanlike fashion, not resting it on the top of the suspended ceiling, I see no code or standard violation.

Have not done it but maybe get the manufautre's sheet with ul listing to see if there is a temperature range the wire can handle and enforce it that way.

I know fire alarm panels have a tempeerature range that they are listed for and see them installed in areas that are not conditioned.
