capabilities of the adhesive. Interior finish work such as plastering,
concrete, and terrazzo work shall be completed and dry before installation.
Mechanical, electrical, and other work above the ceiling line shall be
completed and approved prior to the start of acoustical ceiling
installation. Acoustical work shall be provided complete with necessary
fastenings, clips, and other accessories required for a complete
installation. Mechanical fastenings shall not be exposed in the finished
work. Hangers shall be laid out for each individual room or space.
Hangers shall be placed to support framing around beams, ducts, columns,
grilles, and other penetrations through ceilings. Main runners and
carrying channels shall be kept clear of abutting walls and partitions. At
least two main runners shall be provided for each ceiling span. Wherever
required to bypass an object with the hanger wires, a subsuspension system
shall be installed, so that all hanger wires will be plumb.
