Gollam10 Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hello I'm looking for a bit of advice. I recently visited a school and their evacuation chair was mounted high on the wall which would make it difficult to remove if required. I realise fire extinguishers have a mounting height and was wondering if there is a recommending mounting height from finished floor level for Evac Chairs Any assistance will be gratefully received. Kind regards Rory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Individual manufacturers often provide guidance, usually the top of the chair frame would be 700 - 800mm from the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safelincs Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Hi, one of the most common ecacuation chairs is the Evac+Chair range. We checked this out for you: Evac+Chair don’t state a recommended mounting height but they do make an official floor stand which is around 70 cm tall making the chair hang 5 – 10cm from the floor. When hanging the chair on the wall with brackets we would recommend to hang the chair with a clearance of 10 to 30 cm underneath, to avoid contact when cleaning the floor, with an absolute maximum of 50cm from the floor, so that the weight of the chair can be comfortably handled. Also, the lower the chair is mounted, the lower the chances of damage should it be dropped while someone is picking it off the brackets.
