System 130 Installation Advice

Notes

Hangers installed at 1500mm centres should be considered for lightweight* installations only. SAS Emac hangers must be used in conjunction with Emac hanger brackets for installation at 1500mm centres. Emac hangers should be installed a maximum of 300mm from the edge of the system. Where two main runners are clipped together, an Emac hanger should be installed within 300mm.

It is considered good practice to stagger joints in supporting structures.

Additional Loads

A lightweight* system can support additional loads such as services up to a limit of 3kg. This limit is based on a point or uniformly distributed load over 0.36m_, positioned a minimum of 1000mm apart. This should be considered for lightweight* installations only.

*"Lightweight" meaning base system only such as fleece or pad tile backing. Where a ceiling supports the load of services or for acoustically upgraded systems, Emac hanger centres should be installed at 1200mm centres.Hanger centres should always be considered when applying additional loads.
