Who needs it: buildings with one or more elevators, especially where the machine room or main line switch is hard to find.
One for each main line location
The main line disconnect is the switch that cuts power to an elevator, and it usually sits in the machine room. During a rescue or a fire, firefighters and elevator mechanics need to find it fast, and in an older building the room can be anywhere from the basement to the roof.
We found no NYC rule that requires a sign with this exact name, so we sell it as good practice. Your elevator company or fire safety director can confirm the spot and wording. It is a different sign from the Main Line Disconnect Switch Sign, which marks the building’s main electrical service. See all fire safety signs.
We found no city code section that requires a sign with this exact name. It is good practice.
