PART3 - EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Verify that existing conditions are ready to receive work.
B. Verify that layout of hangers will not interfere with other work.
C. Beginning of installation means acceptance of existing conditions.
3.2 INSTALLATION -LAY-IN GRID SUSPENSION SYSTEM
A. Install system in accordance with ASTM C636, manufacturer's instructions and as
supplemented in this Section, to produce a ceiling true to lines and levels, free
from warp and soiled or damaged grid or panels.
B. Install system capable of supporting imposed loads to a deflection of 1/360
maximum.
C. Install after major above ceiling work is complete. Coordinate the location of
hangers with other work.
D. Hang system independent of walls, columns, ducts, pipes and conduit. Hang wires
directly from structure (not from fireproofing, fireproofing suspension members,
bridging or metal roof decks). Locate first hanger 6 inches from wall and space 4'-
0" along carrying channel. Where carrying members are spliced, avoid visible
displacement of face plane of adjacent members.
E. Where ducts or other equipment prevent the regular spacing of hangers, reinforce
the nearest affected hangers and related carrying channels to span the extra
distance.
F. Center system on room axis leaving equal border units, unless shown otherwise on
the drawings. Do not leave tiles less than 1/2 length or width.
G. Do not support fixtures or other components on main runners or cross runners.
Support fixture loads by supplementary hangers located within 6 inches of each
comer; or support components independently.
H. Do not eccentrically load system, or produce rotation of runners.
I. Install edge molding at intersection of ceiling and vertical surfaces, using longest
practical lengths. Miter comers. Provide edge moldings at junctions with other
interruptions. Field rabbit panel edges. Where round obstructions occur, provide
preformed closers to match edge molding. Provide prefabricated radiused edge
moldings around radiused wall comers. Use maximum lengths, straight, true to
line, and level.
J. Form expansion joints as detailed. Form to accommodate plus or minus one inch
movement. Maintain visual closure.
3.4 TOLERANCES
B. Variation from Plumb of Grid Members Caused by Eccentric Loads: Two degrees
maximum.
3.6 CLEANING
A. Clean soiled areas of ceiling material with mild soap and water. Replace ceiling
