Overhead loads have different consequences. Identify the structural slab, void, suspended ceiling and approved support points.
Method basis: Rigips/Knauf system guidance and Fischer/Hilti fixing-selection principles. Final parameters always come from the selected product data.
How to plan the installation
Use a product approved for the base and overhead direction, plus any secondary restraint required.
Common mistake
Do not suspend heavy loads from a ceiling grid without a designed connection.
Pre-start check
- Was the structural base identified rather than only the finish?
- Does the weight include contents and projection?
- Were services, edges and minimum spacing checked?
- Does the product data permit the base, direction and environment?
