About this detail

A suspended gypsum board ceiling compression post assembly secured to overhead construction. A 1-5/8 inch 20-gauge steel post is anchored at the top with a 3 inch by 3 inch 16-gauge leg angle attached using Hilti X-CC27 ceiling clips and X-C/X-AL-H powder-actuated fasteners with 1-1/8 inch embedment. The bottom of the post ties into a 1-1/2 inch 16-gauge channel spaced at 36 inches on center using sheet metal screws. The assembly supports a ceiling of 5/8 inch Type X gypsum board installed on 7/8 inch furring channels, braced with typical 12-gauge wire hangers.
