About this detail

A compression thrust strut attaches to the overhead structure and suspended ceiling grid. A 3-inch by 3-inch by 1/8-inch by 4-inch long galvanized metal angle fastens to the structure using two fasteners, securing a notched metal stud strut with two number-10 sheet metal screws. A separate isometric diagram shows the strut mating with a heavy-duty main runner tee, supported by a vertical hanger wire looped through the tee twice and wrapped around a number-10 sheet metal screw. Four-way lateral bracing wires attach within 2 inches of the vertical hanger wire on the main runner tee.
