About this detail

Recessed downlight and fluorescent fixtures mount into a suspended ceiling grid system supported by vertical hanger wires continuing up to the structure. For light fixtures less than fifty-six pounds, provide a minimum of two twelve gauge slack safety wires attached at diagonal corners, and four twelve gauge vertical safety wires to the structure for fixtures four feet by four feet or eight feet long and greater. For fixtures fifty-six pounds or greater, provide a minimum of four twelve gauge taut hanger wires attached at each corner extending up to the structure. Mechanical equipment less than twenty pounds requires a minimum of two twelve gauge slack safety wires at diagonal corners and four twelve gauge vertical safety wires to the structure, while equipment twenty pounds or greater requires four twelve gauge taut hanger wires at each corner. All vertical safety and support wires attach to the fixture with a minimum of three tight turns within a one-and-one-half inch distance. The recessed downlight trim mounts tight to the ceiling panel, and the recessed fluorescent light mounts onto the suspended ceiling grid.
