So anyone know why this Honeywell pull station is gold plated?
Requiring pull stations to be red is a fairly new regulation which hasn’t I believe hasn’t been adopted by every different AHJ yet. Although the norm for pull stations has always been red, it was technically legal to have non-red pulls like this that are a different color for aesthetic reasons. For example, I’ve seen white Simplex Tbars http://firealarms.tv/collection/rsg-rms-1p/ (rebranded RSG pulls, but still branded as Simplex) at an art museum in order to better match the white walls and to not be a distraction to the art. It’s basically the same reason for white NA’s, which is just to have more aesthetically pleasing devices that blend into the background better.
Sweet! Where’s this thing located so I can send it out for calibration?
