The strut should extent from the grid to the structure above and be fastened at both ends. • Exception: Lateral force bracing is not required if a ceiling area of 144 square feet or less is surrounded by walls that connect directly to the structure above. Light Fixture Supports (Due to seismic conditions, only "Heavy-Duty" ceiling systems may be used) • All light fixtures shall be attached (with approved screws or clips) to the suspended ceiling grid systems at two opposing sides. • Wires required to support the fixture: Fixtures less than 10 lbs: One #12 gage hanger wire from the fixture housing to the structure above.

Mechanical System Supports • Ceiling-mounted air terminals or services weighing less than 20 pounds shall be positively attached to the ceiling suspension main runners or cross runners with the same carrying capacity as the main runners. • Terminals or services weighing 20 pounds but not more than 56 pounds, in addition to the above, shall have two #12 gage wire hangers connected from the terminal or service to the ceiling system hangers or to the structure above. These wires may be slack. • Terminal or services weighing more than 56 pounds shall be supported directly from the structure above by approved hangers.
