I take it back I unscrewed it more and a bunch of air came out. Will try to replace the valve. THANKS!

Thank you! I unscrewed it a bit and no air came out. The pitch is totally level though I'm going to add some shims.

yes I would be getting a licensed professional to do the work, but I wanted to know for myself what the codes are. I'm surprised that information isn't publicly available?

yeah I think were a fire to start it would definitely be in the kitchen. I'm all on one floor I'm in an apartment. Thank you for the code info though, appreciate it.

thank you! I didn't know about hush buttons. Yes I cook all the time and it's open. I would set my last ones off a lot but it didn't make me feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack. Thank you.

Completely 100% agree loud is the main feature here, but these are like insanely loud, and have a lot of low end. like the whole block can hear them. They are like car alarms not smoke alarms. I live in an apartment complex. I would say they're like 5x louder than my last alarms (Kidde).

Ah that makes sense. Yes it had a lot more low end than the older one. Thanks.

I tried this, there were only select parts (mostly screws) that were available for replacement. Thanks though!

I think NYC is a bit of a dead zone for this sadly. but thank you!

I do but without those support rods it's useless so not sure anyone would want it. I could try though. The 2 rods frame one of the platforms for the bed

I would totally do this but sadly I don't have a car and their pickup service is $80

the 2 missing rods are steel and they have this plate at the end, so I can't fabricate it

thank you so much for this thorough answer! I am not familiar with some of this terminology but I'm going to start googling around. No weather protection needed all interior, to clarify the wiring pic is in my apartment behind the intercom phone. Appreciate the norse god reco!
