Question:

what if you were in a burning building and cant see because of the smoke? others are there too?

the exits are blocked by fire the windows are to high to reach the other people are there screaming help me help me but if you dont find a way out you cant help them it looks totally hopeless smoke is coming in and you can barley keep yourself from from chocking barley breathing and the people keep screaming help us! cant see because of the thick smoke cant even see where they are at and your trying not to be swallowed up by the smoke and flames that describes much of my life my only hope comes from out side hoping somebody sees the fire and is able to put it out and get us out before its too latebefore i just close my eyes and go to sleep and never wake up

Answer:

Whatever the implications are from violating fire codes. It's against code to prop open any fire door unless the means you are using to prop the door is fire controlled. A fire extinguisher certainly doesn't quality. It's against code to use fire protection equipment for any means other than it's stated purpose. Using an extinguihser as a door prop is another violation. So is leaving an extinguihser sit on the floor as NFPA 10 states that they must all be mounted with the bottom a minimum of 4 from the floor.
you can always hard pipe it. the tin tubes come in sections and you can but elbows that can swivle to just about any angle just dont screw the peices together( lint will catch on the screw) use duct tape when taping the tin to the back og the machine just cut a bunch of peices of tape about 5 inches long and apply you can even use 3 inch or 4 inch pvc that stuff never clogs!
