Technical - Mounting Details
Mounting Details
Typically the track is surface mounted to the finished ceiling using a 3" ceiling bracket. However, it is possible in certain situations to recess the track in a suspended T-bar ceiling so that the bottom half of the track is visible. This can provide a more aesthetically clean look. Ceiling mounted devices such as smoke detectors and sprinklers must be taken into consideration as the traversing boom is raised and the clearance to the ceiling is reduced.
Note: all support structures must be verified for applicable loads & forces prior to installation.
Concrete Structure
The track can be directly mounted to the concrete or suspended from the concrete using threaded rod and strut lateral supports.
Steel Structure (open web steel joists)
Typically Unistrut is fastened to the steel structure and the track is suspended using threaded rod and Unistrut lateral supports.
Wood Structure
Wood Joists
In certain cases track can be directly mounted to wood joists. Unistrut can also be used to span between joists to fasten the track to. Wood blocking between joists can be used as an alternative.
Engineered Joists
Wood blocking between engineered joists is the ideal method. In certain cases Unistrut can also be used to span between joists to fasten the track to.
Wood Trusses
Typically Unistrut is spanned on top of bottom chords of wood trusses and a short length of threaded rod is used to connect the track to the support structure. Wood blocking can also be used between the bottom chords.
