INSTALLATION
A.
General:
1.
Install Work of this section in accordance with the
manufacturer's printed instructions, except as otherwise indicated.
2.
Do not bridge expansion joints with grillage.
B.
Hangers: Unless otherwise shown, install hangers as follows:
1.
Attachment to Poured Concrete Slabs: Embed a part or
member of hanger assembly in the concrete in a manner to develop full
strength of hanger.
2.
Attachment to Structural Steel Framing: Clinch hanger
around top flange of steel framing member approximately 135 degrees. If
framing member supports roof planks or precast slabs, bolt hanger to
center of web or weld to bottom flange. Where applicable, hanger wires
may be directly double wound around steel members with wire twisted
together securely.
3.
Attachment to Steel Joists: Secure hanger with special
clip or clamp designed for such use. Where applicable, hanger wires may
be directly double wound around steel members with wire twisted together
securely.
4.
Attachment to Precast Tees, Slabs and Planks: Insert "T"
hangers through joints between the units. Where concrete fill is required,
lay out and install hangers prior to placing fill.
5.
Attachment to Steel Decks: Secure hangers with welded
studs. Locate studs as close to deck supports as possible. Install studs in
accordance with manufacturer's instructions. After installation, clean stud
welds and repair the affected areas of deck and studs with cold
galvanizing compound. Attach hangers to stud bolts with double nuts.
6.
Attachment to Wood Framing (Except Trusses): Secure
hanger with threaded fastener.
7.
Attachment to Wood Trusses: Double wind hanger wire
around bottom chord member and twist wire together securely.
C.
Openings: Frame openings, including openings for items provided under
Related Contracts (if any), with extra cross channels or cross tees unless otherwise
indicated.

D.
Furring: Erect furring to form a true plane, or curved surface where so
designed, and securely fasten in place. Set cross channels or cross tees
perpendicular to main beams.
E.
Suspended Ceilings:
1.
Form suspended ceilings with hangers, channel mold,
main beams, cross channels and/or cross tees.
2.
Attach hangers to supporting construction, spaced 4 feet
oc and within 6 inches of ends of main beams. Where ducts or other
items, including items provided under Related Contracts (if any), interfere
with the spacing of hangers, install trapeze type hangers under the
obstructing items to support ceiling hangers.
F.
Furred Ceilings: Form furred ceilings with cross channels, unless
otherwise indicated.
