Crane Composites Sanigrid Fiberglass Ceiling Grid Class A - Manual (Page 4)

INSTALLATION GUIDE
STEP 1
Install Sanigrid II wall angle at desired height around perimeter of room in the usual manner.
Use non-corrosive fasteners appropriate for wall material. Pre-drill appropriate size hole for
fastener.
STEP 2
Install hanger eyes and wire at appropriate spacing per chart. Use galvanized anchors and 12 ga.
galvanized metal, or stainless steel wire. (Use corrosion-resistant materials suitable for the intended
environment).
STEP 3
Secure main runners to hanger wires and make leveling adjustments. Where main tees butt, secure
with connector clip. Additional holes may be drilled in main tees as required for proper alignment with
hanger wires. Space holes no closer than 4" (102 mm) from end of tee or another hole.
IMPORTANT: Light fi xtures must be installed to hang independently of the grid system.
STEP 4
Where the main runner meets the wall angle, cut away the face of the runner so that the vertical web
will rest on the wall angle. Scoring the runner on both sides of the verticle and horizontal web will
assist in providing a clean break.
STEP 5
Install a wall anchor clip and a diagonal hanger wire. This will prevent shifting and misalignment of
the main runners.
STEP 6
Install cross tees by positioning tee at the cross tee notch on the main tee. Both ends must be
positioned at the same time. Then simply twist the cross tee into position. At the cross tee wall angle
junction, cut away the face and install wall anchor as was done for the main runners.
STEP 7
Install lay-in ceiling panels in the usual manner.
STEP 8
Install two hold down clips along the cross tees only. Hold down clips are intended only to hold
panels in position. They will not prevent warping under severe conditions.
