About this detail

Seismic splay bracing and vertical support configuration for a suspended acoustic ceiling grid. Main runners and cross runners intersect to form the grid module, supported by twelve-gauge vertical hanger wires spaced at four feet on center each way with three tight turns in one and a half inches. A central compression strut is installed with twelve-gauge bracing wires anchored at forty-five-degree angles in four directions—north, south, east, and west. Each bracing wire features a minimum of four tight turns in one and a half inches at both ends and connects to the main runners ninety degrees apart, totaling four wires at each strut unless noted otherwise. Additional twelve-gauge vertical hanger wires are positioned directly next to the compression strut.
