I stumbled upon this chain looking for a little clarification on the accepted location of the tricuspid area, I learned that it was 4th ICS LSB although in an NCLEX study guide (Kaplan 08-09) it asks the question and lists the answer as 'the tricuspid area is located in the fifth intercostal space at the lower left sternal border' .. I assume that in practice one may not be too concerned with 4th or 5th ICS but they are including it in an old NCLEX review.
