Specifications include dimensions, ASTM standards, and service levels. Key features are versatility in configurations, sustainability with 25% recycled content, Class-A flame spread rating, and compatibility with standard NEMA Type-G lights and air diffusers.
Benefits include hook cross tees for easy access, butt cut cross tees for a flat appearance, fire-rated systems with expansion reliefs, and double web construction for strength.
The Seismic 1200 and 1250 systems meet seismic requirements with stab-in cross tees and QuickClick® end clips, compliant with the International Building Code (IBC).
Details on slotting and hanger hole placement ensure proper installation and support.
Tables provide dimensions, allowable loads, and performance data for selecting appropriate systems.
Chicago Metallic's systems offer options for various applications, emphasizing versatility, sustainability, and safety compliance.
Details on metal suspension systems include allowable load per ASTM C635, hanger spacing, and dimensions of components like main and cross tees. Tempra™ 4050 Fire Rated systems are specified for fire-rated situations.
Installation procedures cover area examination, main and cross tee installation, and perimeter treatment. Environmental conditions must be suitable before installation, with additional hanger wires to prevent deflection.
References include ASTM C635 and C636 standards for manufacturing and installation, and compliance with seismic zones.
Recommendations include extra hangers for tandem fixtures and ensuring wet trades work is dry before installation. Maintain a stock of additional materials for maintenance.
Tables provide dimensions, weight, and load capacities of components, with product numbers and weights per pallet.
Adhering to installation guidelines ensures structural integrity and safety, with compliance to fire-rated and seismic standards.
Specifications and installation procedures for metal suspension systems in acoustical lay-in panel ceilings are detailed, including components, guidelines, and maintenance requirements.
Main and cross tees are made from galvanized steel with features like punched slots and hanger holes. Perimeter components include moldings made from galvanized steel.
Installation involves examining the area, installing main tees with hanger wires, and placing cross tees perpendicular to form modules. Additional hanger wires are needed for heavy loads.
ASTM C635 and C636 standards and the UL Fire Resistance Directory are referenced for fire-rated components.
Ensure suitable environmental conditions and provide additional materials for maintenance.
Damaged components should be replaced and cleaned with non-solvent solutions.
Specifications and features of Ultraline ceiling suspension systems, including the 4500, 4550, and 4600 series, are provided. These systems create a monolithic ceiling appearance.
