About this detail

A saddle tie connection for suspended ceiling framing systems utilizes a main steel or wood channel. Number 12 gauge hanger or brace wires wrap around the channel with a double loop support and require three tight turns within three inches for hanger wires, or four tight turns within one and one-half inches for brace wires. Saddle ties are specified for all widths greater than one-quarter inch. When multi-tie saddle ties are required, they alternate back and forth along the channel to prevent twisting.
