Yet it appears I know and understand US Code better than you. I wonder how that is.

Back to "this" are we? Prove it, Bass.

And I'm sure they all came away with the same impression when dealing with you... You are a dolt.

Correct. On all counts. NFPA does permit connection of his single or multi-station smoke alarms to his security alarm panel though.

You have an uncanny ability to state the obvious. What has this to do with his connecting his AC smokes to his *security alarm panel*?

No one here has "suggested it"... We've all suggested using supervised smoke detectors. However, I have also stated that there is no code or statute which prohibits what the OP wants to do.

Your turn, Bubba.

Those things can be so hard to get to I can't say that I have ever looked for the UL sticker. It's a fire damper, you assume it's UL listed.

We had a situati>>> Nothing prohibits an individual from wiring his AC smokes to his >home's

You don't know that ..........

But what we do know, is that YOU'RE not and installer. ......

Oh, really? Which is it then? You're not a state official or you don't know better?

The implication was that the unit is UL approved for the purpose. You even stated that the unit has wires "for an external alarm system."

Of course, you were completely wrong. The unit is not designed or listed for use with an alarm system.

So please explain what the lie was. We all know that you are a state official. We all now know that you didn't know the facts. From the way you type my name we also know that you have the social development of a 9-year old. It truly is amazing that a state official could be so immature, so totally lacking in knowledge and so incredibly dishonest.

Well, no. I take that back. It's not at all surprising that a state official is so dishonest. Your immaturity and stupidity, however, are a bit beyond the norm.

The fact is that you don't know the relevant code(s), don't install for a living, and denigrate those individuals who do (know the code *and* install for a living).

And once again you've planted both feet well into your mouth. I would suggest you re-visit the relevant code, in this case NFPA 72-2002

11.7.6.7. I also think that you owe Norm and some others an apology, but past experience has shown that "common decency" and "honor" aren't words you even recognize.

And therefore the tenants of honor and decency should not be given to him in return ...........

That is simply accomplished as follows:

He's a piece of pig s*it and deserves to die a painful and prolonged death.

How much more of lacking in honor and decency can one exhibit, to one so deseving?

Seems only fair and equitable to me

I can't agree with you there.... Even "pig s*it" has some redeeming qualities.

I don't think *anyone* deserves that kind of death. I watched both my father and mother go down that road, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I too have had similar experiences.

And that's why my sentiments remain the same.
