Basic Installation

Step 1

Establish an "X" and "Y" baseline on the
floor or ceiling following the diagram provid-
ed with your components. Baselines are
typically referenced off a structural building
element.

Step 2

Determine all hanger wire locations indexed
off the "X" and "Y" baselines. These
markings indicate where the hanger brack-
ets will be attached.

Step 3

Project each hanger location to the deck or
structural ceiling and attach wires, cables,
or rods with the appropriate fasteners.
It’s very important that all wires are plumb
so as not to pull on the assembly. Bridge
or trapeze accordingly with appropriate
structural members.

Step 4

Attach the hanger brackets at the required
height using hanger wire, aircraft cable, or
threaded rods.
