About this detail

A structural concrete fill over a metal deck supports a 12-gauge steel clip secured by a minimum three-eighths-inch expansion anchor with a two-inch embedment or UL-complying equivalent fastener. Vertical hanger wires of minimum 12-gauge steel attach to the clip with at least three tight turns within a one-and-one-half-inch distance, extending down to a compression strut sized per schedule. A 45-degree lateral brace wire of minimum 12-gauge steel fastens to an adjacent steel clip with at least four tight turns within a one-and-one-half-inch distance. Spray-on fireproofing is applied to the underside of the concrete deck where required by code.
