How high off the finished floor should a REX button be installed?

The recommended height for a Request to Exit (REX) button installation is typically 40 to 48 inches off the finished floor. This height range is designed to be accessible for all users, including those in wheelchairs or with other mobility challenges, complying with accessibility standards such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

By placing the button within this specific range, it ensures that individuals can easily reach the button without obstructing the exit route, allowing for a safe and efficient exit from the premises. This height also helps accommodate a variety of users in different situations, ensuring that the button is both practical and functional in an emergency or quick exit scenario.
