NFPA Guidelines
The required protection in NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm and
Signaling Code 2013 Edition utilizes smoke alarms as the
primary life safety equipment for providing a reasonable
level of protection against fire. The installation of additional
alarms of either smoke or heat type should result in a higher
degree of protection.
NFPA 72 Chapter 29 does not require heat alarms or heat
detectors as part of the basic protection scheme; it is
recommended that the householder consider the use and
placement of additional heat detectors. For example,
additional heat alarms or heat detectors should be
considered but not limited to, the following areas: kitchen,
dining room, attic (finished or unfinished), furnace room,
utility room, basement, and integral or attached garage.
NFPA 72, 29.8.4.3
Heat detectors or alarms shall be mounted on the ceiling at least 4 in.
(100 mm) from a wall or on a wall with the top of the detector or alarm
not less than 4 in. (100 mm), nor more than 12 in. (300 mm), below the
ceiling.
Exception: When the mounting surface could become
considerably warmer or cooler than the room, such as a poorly
insulated ceiling below an unfinished attic or an exterior wall, the
detectors or alarms shall be mounted on an inside wall.
NFPA 72, Install Heat Detectors on sloped, peaked or cathedral
ceilings at or within 3 ft. (0.9m) of the highest point, (measured
horizontally) 29.8.4.2 states
For sloped ceilings having a riser greater than 1 ft. in 8 ft. (1 m in 8 m)
horizontally, the detector or alarm shall be located within 36 in (910
mm) of the peak. The spacing of additional detectors or alarms, if any,
shall be used on a horizontal distance measurement, not on a
measurement along the slope of the ceiling.
NFPA 72, 17.6.3.4.2.1
A row of detectors shall first be located at or within 36 in. (910 mm) of
the peak of the ceiling.
NFPA 72, 29.8.4.4
In rooms with open joists or beams, all ceiling-mounted detectors or
alarms shall be located on the bottom of such joists or beams.
NFPA 72, 29.8.4.5
Detectors or alarms installed on an open-joisted ceiling shall have their
smooth ceiling spacing reduced where this spacing is measured at
right angles to solid joists; in the case of heat detectors or heat alarms,
this spacing shall not exceed one-half of the listed spacing.
NFPA 72, 29.5.1.1 Required Detection for Single- and Multiple-
Station Smoke Alarms

(1) In all sleeping rooms (applies to several occupancies
including: one- and two-family dwellings; lodging or rooming

and guest rooms (applies in the context of hotel and
dormitory occupancies)
(2) Outside of each separate dwelling unit (applies to one- and
two-family dwellings and dwelling units of apartment

residential occupancy, other than sleeping rooms or rooms
