NFPA 10 travel distance
NFPA 10 travel distance
(OP)
The current and last several versions of NFPA 10, require a maximum travel distance of 75-feet to fire extinguishers in commercial builings.
Does anyone have a copy of the code in force in 1992, that can tell me what it was then?
I have a leased building that has two hall ways with fire extinguishers that exceed 170-foot spacing.
If the code, in 1992 allowed a longer travel distance, then I will pay the cost to install new cabinets. But, if the code in 1992 had the 75-ft travel distance, I'll require the builidng owner to install them.

RE: NFPA 10 travel distance
1998 nfpa 10 was 75 ft, and that seems like a normal one for ages, been enforcing 75 for 22 yrs

RE: NFPA 10 travel distance
yes and yes
say you had a 150 ft long corridor
you stick a FE in the middle you meet the requriement
RE: NFPA 10 travel distance
An Important realistic factor has always been by us that
if this is a long corridore and turns around 90 degrees etc.thus blocking the vision or sight of FE is not possible
We preferred placing one more FE to ensure easy/positive access within sight.Although don't recall exactly if it becomes mandatory as per NFPA 10.

We have had a few rough times this year, so I can do it as a good faith peace offering.
