According to some fire codes, such as NFPA 1, portable fire extinguishers of up to 40 pounds must be mounted no higher than where the top is 5 feet from the floor and the bottom is no less than 4 inches from the floor. Portable extinguishers over 40 pounds (and not on wheels) may be mounted such that the top is no more than 3 and a half feet (42 inches) from the floor and the bottom no less than 4 inches from the floor.

∙ 8y agoTo the best of my knowledge there is no set height requirement on a boat or other vessel. Common sense dictates a fire extinguisher should be immediately and conveniently available to any member on board.
