About this detail

A splayed seismic brace wire is secured to a twenty-gauge minimum metal deck with a three-inch wide by four-inch long by twelve-gauge minimum steel strap bent to align with the wire. The strap is fastened using two number eight by one-half-inch self-tapping sheet metal screws, and the wire is terminated with four tight turns at both ends. One in every two brace wires must be tested to a load of four hundred forty pounds. A vertical hanger wire is tied to a number three by twelve-inch reinforcing bar embedded in the assembly, with three wraps around the rebar and one wrap around the wire. Ceiling wires must be separated by at least six inches from all unbraced ducts, pipes, and conduits.
