Cannot find code reference
My Forman today told me that a smoke detector could be placed by an air return (and vents) with no minimum distance. I have previously been told that by code you need 36” minimum distance - the latter makes more sense to me to ensure proper detection and mitigate unnecessary contaminated to the devise but I have read NEC 2023 (class is still being taught on this I will be acquiring 2026 as soon as this semester is up) and can’t find the reference for ventilation and airflow requirements. Anyone know where I could look to learn proper requirements?
Thank you so much for helping me on my journey to not be another lazy “installer”
