Threaded rod support kit
The threaded rod support kit is used when the rail system needs to be installed under joists. The fixing point is
in a beam (e.g. a steel channel or a 100 x 100 mm wooden beam) resting on a minimum of three joists.

1.4.2: Concealed rails
In some applications, the rail system can be concealed by an inner ceiling. A concealed rail system can also be
installed in preparation for subsequent installation of ceiling lift units and, in a new building, the fixed rails of a rail
system with full room coverage can be installed in preparation for later installation of cross-rails. In these cases, the
inner ceiling must be prepared with installation hatches.
All fixtures must be securely installed with double self-locking nuts. Install the entire rail system and carry
out the final safety tests before mounting the inner ceiling.
