What is the NFPA 72 sublocation code for visible notification appliances?

• A. 24.8.16
• B. 24.9.17
• C. 24.8.15
• D. 24.8.17

Answer: (D)

NFPA 72 uses sublocation codes to point to the exact installation rules for different signaling devices. For visible notification appliances, the applicable rules are found in the 24.8 subset, with the specific clause dedicated to their installation labeled as 24.8.17. This sublocation covers how and where strobes and other visible devices must be mounted to ensure they are visible where required, including considerations like placement relative to exits and line-of-sight. The other numbers reference different sections or topics and do not address visible notification appliances specifically. So, the sublocation code 24.8.17 is the correct one to reference for visible notification appliances.
