Ed, While there is prescribed height in the standard consider the building code where clear egress width and or obstructions could become an issue. Mounting the valve assembly at or above 7'-0" is consistent with the minimum allowable ceiling height in the building code.
Only one horror story when they decided to paint....everything.

What's the ideal height within a stairway to install the floor control valve assembly? The lower they're installed, the odds of them being tampered with increases. The higher they're installed, the more it could delay shutting down the sprinkler system following a fire or accidental discharge. Any horror stories one way or the other?
