Mounting in rafters layer with lowered ceiling
There are two alternative solutions for the fitting of the rail system to rafters with suspended ceil-
ings.
Before mounting the fitter must make sure that the rafters layer has been dimensioned to carry
the load of the system and the SWL for which the system is intended. Check using table 1 in chap-
ter 2.
Part no.: 1109201/1109202 with TFS Part no. 1109252
Example 1: Rafted mounting
If the rafters layer has been covered with eg plaster on the bottom side of the layer, this has to
be reinforced both above and below the rafters layer to pretighten the attachment satisfactorily
without destroying the plaster.
To mount the securing devices according to the illustration requires access to the loft. It is an ad-
vantage if there is no insulation in the rafters layer. Additional to reinforcement above and below
the rafters layer, material must be supplied between the reinforcements.
• Make sure to have the necessary tools, auxiliary tools and protective equipment at hand be-
fore starting the work.
• Use suited measuring equipment to mark out the path and define where to place the centre of
the telescopic securing devices.
• Drill 3 holes Ø12 for each bracket through the reinforcement.
• Place the backing plate (part no.1109305) at the upper side of the reinforcement.
• Mount the threaded rod (part no.1120316) with a washer (part no.1120312) and a lock nut
(part no.1120315) in one end, before inserting it through the backing plate and the ceiling
construction from the upper side. It is an advantage to have adjusted the length of the thread-
ed rod in advance.
• At the bottom side of the ceiling mount the telescopic bracket on the end of the three thread-
ed rods which are sticking out. Secure the joint using a lock nut (part no.1120315) and a wash-
er (part no.1120312).
• The system is tightened with 50 Nm. Remember the torque wrench!
