When batteries larger than 7 Amp Hour, up to 18 Amp Hour, are being used, the BB-17F battery box (or UL listed equivalent) must be installed. To install the BB-17F:

1.Mount the FACP cabinet to the wall

2.Remove knockouts on the bottom of the FACP cabinet and top of the BB-17F

3.Using conduit, hang the BB-17F from the FACP cabinet making sure there is at least ½” of clearance between the two cabinets

4.Anchor the BB-17F to the wall
