Ever wanted to know more about that red fire pull box on the wall? Watch to learn more about the placement requirements of fire alarm pull stations as well as other neat facts that may be surprising.
One topic I did not address which I know there will be questions about is if pull stations squirt ink on the hand of someone that activates it. I have yet to come across one pull station with this made-up feature. There is a gel-like dye that can optionally be applied to the handle of the pull station. This can stain your hand and is used to help prove the case of someone pulling the fire alarm when there is no fire. This gel-like dye is EXTREMELY uncommon and is almost never used. To prevent false alarms I instead strongly recommend a mechanical cover with an alarm (like talked about in the video). The gel-like dye does not really prevent false alarms where a mechanical alarm guard does.
Another topic I could have expanded on is why there is a height requirement for fire alarm pull stations. NFPA 72 requires to pull stations to be mounted between 42 inches and 48 inches off the ground as that height allows the average person to pull it in the standing position. This height is also low enough for someone in a wheelchair to also have the ability to pull the alarm if needed. Some books say between 42 inches and 54 inches is acceptable. This is one of those things that can be different depending on the situation. I've come across a lot of newly installed pull stations that are mounted greater than 48 inches.
