Steps for How to Install Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors:
1. Mark the location of each smoke detector on the ceiling.
2. Use a drill and long, stiff wire to bore a small-diameter hole through the ceiling and into the attic.
3. Go into the attic and check for obstructions around the small holes. If necessary, use a circular saw to cut open the attic floor.
4. At each smoke detector location, use a drill and a 4-inch-diameter hole saw with dust shield to cut a hole through the ceiling for a round old-work electrical box.
5. Run nonmetallic electrical cable from an existing outlet in the attic to each of the smoke detector locations.
6. Cut the cable and pull it through an old-work electrical box. Push the box into the ceiling hole and tighten the screws to lock the box to the ceiling. Repeat for each ceiling hole.
7. Screw the smoke detector's mounting plate to the box, then make the wire connections: black to black, white to white, red to orange.
8. Gently tuck the wires into the box, then twist and lock the smoke detector onto the mounting plate.
9. Install a combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector on each level of the home and within 10 feet of the bedrooms.
10. Pull a new electrical cable down from the attic into the basement.
11. In the basement, install a standard hardwired combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector, and a two-piece wireless smoke and carbon monoxide detector. Mount the battery-powered wireless half of the detector on the first-floor ceiling.
12. Make the final wire connections in the attic, then test each detector to make sure all of them are operating properly.

@drnickriviera8270 3 года назад

If smoke detectors are being installed in a home built prior to the hardwire code requirement than wireless smoke detectors with a non removable 10 year battery can be used. If a house is undergoing extensive renovation which would allow for the routing of hardwire power cables than the new detectors must be hardwired.

You said, on the upper floor, that the alarms needed two power sources according to code, then on the first floor you installed a battery only unit. I'm not an expert on the code but is that allowed? Also, you can use bridge units to join a wireless trigger unit to the wired ones.

@DaruDhillon 4 года назад

When renovating a home it is required to have all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors hardwired, interconnected with back-up batteries. Wireless is a good option, if you are not opening up walls.

@IAmNotAFunguy 8 лет назад

He never mentioned there are two kind of smoke alarms, ionization and photoelectric. Ionization is better for quickly flaming fires and photoelectric is better for slow smoldering fires, and most fire departments and building codes like them both in the house. The best is a 2-in-1 unit that has both types.

Sending the wires to these devices is cumbersome but there is no way out of it... Great for remodel work but I don't recommend if it was going to be inspected it will be a no pass.. Why? All devices need a dedicated circuit and they all need to be hardwired... That's what happened to me in LA...

@leonardholt5311 4 года назад

NevrBDwn Ruby does not need to be on a dedicated circuit.

@CaptainBill22 8 лет назад

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last I heard the NEC says that smoke detectors should be on a separate circuit. I get that you guys did this so it's more user friendly, but the job should be done to code for today.

@nofingway1 7 лет назад

codes change depending of the country/state.

@jc5536 7 лет назад

If the NEC states it should be on its own circuit ( individual branch circuit ) I would be interested in that chapter and section or if it's an amendment to NFPA 70 written into law and approved in a specific state or commonwealth. I'm almost inclined to point towards NFPA 72 if that even exists.

@Sparky-ce9yy 6 лет назад

Sigvulcanas you are correct. Hard wire smoke detectors must be on one circuit and are NOT allowed to be GFCI or AFCI protected.

@ronaldbeal 6 лет назад

WRONG!!! NEC section 210.12 requires 120v smoke alarms to be on Arc Fault circuits. They should be interconnected and on one circuit. There is debate on weather they should be alone on a circuit, or be on a shared circuit. NEC, NFPA, and IRC do not weigh in on the matter. Some state and local AHJ have made a determination one way or another, and they have the final say. The fire prevention community is leaning toward being on a shared circuit, so that if the breaker is tripped, the occupants will be more likely to notice it, whereas if the alarms are by themself, someone might turn off the breaker to silence a false alarm, and then never turn them back on.

@ronaldbeal 6 лет назад

International Code Council Electrical Code (ICCEC) :Section 1202.5 states: "Smoke detectors required by the International Building Code and installed within dwelling units shall not be connected as the only load on a branch circuit. Such detectors shall be supplied by branch circuits having lighting loads consisting of lighting outlets in habitable spaces."

The 14/3 red wire is just needed for communication in between devices. It should not be tied into a power source. So a14/2 is your power supply. But in this video that means it's not talking to the lower floor devices unless he pulls a new interconnecting wire or uses a remote transmitter of some kind.

Just find an exact replacement for it if you've done the battery change and it still does it . These have maximum lifespans and some will beep at that point, or they just crap out over time. The same model will fit the existing mount and so it can be swapped out in like 1 minute time.

It's not necessary to have the ground/earh covered since it's not a normal current carrying conductor, and usually bonded to the back of a metal box. North American codes say that the ground/earth must be identified with green insulation, green with a yellow stripe, or bare coper. I believe Australia also has a bare ground/earth conductor in their NM cable/twin and earth.

This is an extremely important informational video which can potentially save lives, first & foremost, no argument whatsoever, hands down. BUT...Why weren't the floor/attic ceiling joints explained to the viewers? Or, how magically the wires are passed thru the joist? This appeared to look way too simple but it's commonly unknown to the average person of joist layouts. Only the pros know the joist layouts, along with the required tooling and required skills to run wiring thru the joist. That was not clearly explained in this segment. C'mon folks...OK, the lighted fish tape was a nice touch, at best. But have to ask...What enabled the fish tape to get from point A to point B? Drilling of the joist? And the required tooling to accomplish that? Do you truly think that any homeowner could just simply pass the wiring without pre-drilling the joist? Thinking there is some quality editing improvement potential prior to public release. Again though, this is an extremely important informational video which can potentially save lives, no argument whatsoever.

WELL can someone explain why your need a Carbon Monoxide if you have all electric in your house because I have a Electric stove I dont have anything gas in my house?

It detects low smoldering fires or if someones car or genorator or something else emits that gas and it gets inside your house you want to know so you can get out safely and stop the source of the problem or call 911

@jake78441 8 лет назад

Becuase our house just has the one in our hallway Aaron Productions

Even if you don't have any gas appliances. It is still recommend to have one, as carbon monoxide can be produce from more things then you may think.

0:22 "Code requires 2 sources of power now" But he installs a battery powered smoke detectors downstairs

@ethanmacias7287 4 года назад

He said that it's the most difficult place to get the smoke alarms wired to

@ranganathkrishnamurthy9979 3 года назад

I don’t think running power to the device is the difficult part but having all the devices connected through the orange cable is the most challenging part.. so it makes sense to choose a wireless one to connect with the other devices but I would have also hooked up the device to power in addition to having a battery

It's doble battery

2:20 why did it look like an arc cutting the saw?

@Nick-bh1fy 4 года назад

Most likely friction from the metal wholesaw against the wood but definitely not an electrical arc

You installed battery powered smoke detectors down stairs, There’s no place to wire a smoke detector downstairs

11-- how interconnected ?

@edduanchavez3346 4 года назад

The red wire connects between the smoke detectors, this red wire is called the signal wire, as soon as one detects smoke it carries the signal to the rest

@abelluz5698 4 года назад

Treasper Killa thanks, about wireless how take signal to the others?
