(measured vertically).
• In an area where the temperature may fall below 0ºC (32ºF) or rise above 40ºC
(104ºF), such as garages and unfinished attics.

kitchen, the door to a bathroom containing a tub or shower, forced air supply ducts
used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air
flow areas.
