Notes:
– Quality of wire connection can very widely depending on field conditions, equipment and user experience.
Installer must determine safe connection spacing and means for loads to be encountered.
– 30 lbs. per 18-gauge wire and 1/32 stainless steel rope wire is the maximum recommended load including
any additional or live load during installation.
– Suitability of decorative ceiling hanger devices must be determined by user. These are not to be used where
hangers must conform to ASTM C636, “Standard Practice for Installation of Metal Ceiling Suspension System
for Acoustical Tile and Lay-In Panels.”
