[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would definitely move it. And get a ladder. Imagine when it starts chirping at 2am…[/quote] Smoke rises - it really needs to be at the high point.[/quote] Not always. [i]Special smoke detector installation rules apply if you have a pitched roof. Smoke rises, but believe it or not, jamming a smoke detector in the peak of a gabled, vaulted, or pitched ceiling isn’t a good idea. In fact, the NFPA has some specific rules regarding smoke detector placement in these conditions. Install the smoke detector between 4 and 36 inches of the peak, where the two halves of the ceiling meet. This also includes walls that reach from the floor to angled ceilings. Installing it too close to the peak may cause malfunctions and installing it more than 36 inches from the peak may allow smoke to float by.[/i] https://www.bobvila.com/articles/where-to-put-smoke-detectors/[/quote]
