Step 1: Laying Out
First Row of Main Tees
A Main Tee with a splice end will have
a slot for the splice approximately 1 inch
from its end. Find a corner starting point based on
locations specified on your architect’s
plans or by scaling from a working
drawing. It‘s best to start at a point near
a wall or column that can be used for
reference and support.
Refer to the Bill of Materials and Ribbon
Drawing and locate the appropriate Flush
Cut Main Tee to start the first row of
Main Tees. Note that Main Tees can have two
different types of ends – flush-cut ends
and splice ends. A Main Tee with a flush-cut end will have
a cross tee slot approximately 1/2-inch
from its factory-cut end.
