INSTALLATION GUIDE
Pre-planning at this stage may address the installation of temporary bracing (if required) during the installation of the cable. This bracing will prevent unbalanced loading from exceeding design-bending
Connect cables directly to 3/8" threaded rod in trapeze installations for seismic bracing. Predrilled tabs allow attachment directly to concrete deck. Spacing must be at least every 30'. A standard trapeze support carries gravity load; it does not re...
