That would be great. I know the IBC adopted is 2003 and I have that
book, but I don't have the NFPA. A pdf would be great.

I called the local building inspection dept that would ultimate do the
inspection for my hangar. That way I knew what they would be looking for.

That's the problem- I called the building inspector up front and asked
him about the requirements, and he referred me to IBC 412 and the
related Wisconsin building code as the ruling documents. Both of these
spell out the absurdly ridiculous 10 foot above the airplane height
requirement. There isn't a hangar on my airport, nor likely in the
state that conforms to this, yet he won't budge on the issue. So much
for trying to work with the inspector and being reasonable.

Jeff:
I am jumping into this thread midstream so hope this hasn't been mentioned.
We had a guy just build a hangar at MNM and came up against the same BS.
What he did is have his electrician wire just one overhead light, well
removed from where any airplane would get 10 ft away, and then had it
inspected. Once he didn't see the inspector's tailights, up went more
lights.
One other thing....At least in MI, if you install lights that are inclosed
with some sort of diffuser, then the 10 ft rule does not apply. In other
words, a bare bulb type of light is what they get bent out of shape about.

I never found anything either. I back the screw out 4 turns or so and
start there. If it won't run at idle (starts on prime and will run with
more prime) then back it out a couple more. If it smokes (black) then
it's too rich and you need to turn it in a couple. Once it runs smooth,
then look for a 50 to 100 RPM rise as you slowly move the mixture to
idle cutoff. You also need to get the idle RPM down around 700 for
starters.
The reason, I think, that ther's no info is that all carbs aren't
created equal .... at least in the idle circuit.

We at kpso Pagosa Springs co, had this proble =m for a while, the 10 ft
thing, and after talkoing to the fire marshal got a reasonable opinion that
10 ft. from the fuel system was going to be OK. Most of our hangars are at
least 14 ft high,some a lot more, and it the heater is in a rear corner, you
will have more than enough room.

Its really not a problem to install on the cold side of the firewall.
Yes, you have to cut the supplied cable, but its a simple solder job on
a radio shack 9 pin plug is all it takes to fix. You only need to drill
a very small hole through the firewall.

Then don't build a hangar. Build a big storage building with a really
big entry door.
You need to think like a bureaucrat. For instance, it's almost always
easy to get a 'special vfr' clearance to depart an airport, but it will
never be offered to you. (Ya gotta ask.)

There are only two reasons not to get the rise .... either it's already
too lean or you're pulling the mixture too fast. I guess if it's too
rich then the rise may not be apparent as you go through the lean spot
prior to cutoff.

I have never been able to observe the rise either, and I've pulled the
mixture back very slowly more than a few times looking for it. So maybe my
idle mixture is too lean to have the rise, but it's been this way for nearly
1400 hrs. with apparent ill effects.
