3.1
Overview of Anchoring the
Walls to the Ceiling
1. Determine where the wall frames will be located
on the floor. Mark the center lines of the assem-
blies.
2. Use a plumb line to transfer the center line loca-
tions to the ceiling.
3. Fasten the ceiling channels to the ceiling.
a) If the ceiling is structural, channel may
be mounted directly to the ceiling.
b) If the ceiling is suspended, it will require
reinforcement channels to be installed above
the ceiling tiles to support the ceiling channel.
Reinforcement channels must be oriented at
a right angle to the ceiling channel and lay
between ribs of suspended "T" grid system.
See Figure 3-1.
