    Distance between distribution box and fire extinguisher box

    NFPA 10 mounting and travel-distance requirements at a glance: 5 ft max to the top of the extinguisher (§6. 8), 4 in min floor clearance, and 75 ft max travel distance for Class A hazards. This blog tackles the topic of portable fire extinguisher placement, both how portable fire extinguishers should be distributed and exactly where they are allowed to be placed. Watch a related video from the NFPA LiNK YouTube channel. The first step is to choose the correct extinguisher based on. Learn what OSHA means by "readily accessible" and how clearance, mounting height, and travel distance rules apply to fire extinguishers. Within the United States, the two most authoritative figures on fire safety are the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Association (OSHA). This guide breaks down OSHA and NFPA guidelines to ensure your facility remains compliant and prepared.
