GRID CEILING INSTALLATION
The dimensions of the TCQ are 1' x 2'. It is designed to fit into any
standard 2' X 4', or 2' X 2" suspended ceiling tile grid.
1. The ceiling tile will need to be cut to accommodate the TCQ
2. Set the ceiling tile on a flat work surface with the patterned side
facing down.
3. Using a straight edge, cut a 1' x 2' section from the ceiling tile,
creating a 1' x 2' section and a 3' x 2' section, or two 1' x 2'
sections depending on the size of your tiles.
4. Locate the 2' ceiling grid t-bar attachment. Locate the
attachment slots in the existing ceiling grid and snap the new
T-bar into place to create a 1' x 2' and 2' x 3' sections, or two 1' x
