Ok guys, I spoke to our fire marshall today and he told me that the 18/4 wire should be fire rated and color red. He actually told me that gauge should be 14. B) Well, if it's 110v
So he told me that 18 gauge would be fine if the smoke detector does not draw 110v power.
I've got following recommendations:
- smoke sensor Napco 4-Wire Firewolf
- System Sensor 4WB
Which of the 2 is better? And they don't use 110v right?
For my main question, I'm deciding which 22/4 solid to buy. AutomatedOutlet is selling fire rated Coleman 22/4 wire. Am I correct that for motion sensors, water sensors, co and heat, the wire doesn't have to be fire rated right?
Thanks!
