v001 | Recessed Channel Installation Guide
Site Conditions, Storage and Handling
• Read the Installation Guide before handling.
• Always wear appropriate hand protection when handling.
• Only store in clean, dry conditions.
• Do not over stack.
• Do not stack in a way likely to cause falls.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the materials delivered to the installation site are safeguarded
from the time of purchase until the finished ceiling is handed over. However, it is usually the main contractor who is
responsible for the conditions on site so both parties must be aware of the requirements of suspended ceilings for flat
dry, clean and safe storage conditions.
Poor or rough handling, rolling or dropping of the product on corners or edges may cause damage to the product or the
product to deteriorate.
Lengths of Node should not span between points as any load applied mid-span may cause product damage.
Site storage of items should be flat, preferably on a suitable pallet (supporting the entire length) without additional top
loading.
Consideration should be given to the advice of the Occupational Health and Safety Representative regarding manual
handling. An assessment should be made of any risk and if necessary mechanical lifting equipment should be used.
The storage space must be cleared of debris and, in general, should be enclosed. The Node Recessed Channel should be
kept clean, dry and protected from the elements.
Site conditions should be prepared for installation of the Node Recessed Channel. The site should be clean, dry and clear
of other trades working in the ceiling void.
