Rulon Suspended Endure Linear 810 8” Module Ceiling Install Guide

1. Step 1: Perimeter Installation
   Establish the ceiling height with laser, water-level, or other appropriate method. Mark location. Install #870 Perimeter Trim at ceiling height with appropriate fastener.
   

2. Step 2: Carrier Placement (Interior)
   Mark carrier locations as specified. Refer to Step 8 for Expansion Joint carrier placement (if required). Carrier spacing should not exceed 2′ [810 mm] O.C. Spacing differs for exterior applications or special conditions such as pools or gymnasiums. (Refer to shop drawings or Rulon Engineering Department). Carriers shall be suspended starting 6″ [152 mm] from one wall, and ending within 6″ [152 mm] of the opposite wall. Carriers shall run perpendicular to the direction of the Endure ceiling strips.
   Step 3: Attaching Hangers (Interior)

3. Install hanger inserts (i.e., screw eyes, star anchors, or eye pins shot or hammered into] structure or clips attached to beam flanges) at 4’ [1219 mm] O.C. (Interior); 3’ [914mm] O.C.
   (Exterior). Hang #12-Gauge wire hangers from the inserts. Hanger wires need to be hung directly from the building structure, unless otherwise covered in the Rulon shop drawings or reviewed and approved by the Rulon Engineering Department. Struts are also utilized on Exterior Ceilings.

4. Step 4: Carrier Suspension

   • Hang carriers from ceiling hangers. Level. Interior ceiling carriers are suspended by 12-Gauge Hanger wire on 4’ centers along carrier (unless otherwise denoted on Rulon Shop Drawings)
     Step 4E(Exterior):

   • For exterior ceiling such as soffits, drive-thrus, etc., wind uplift necessitates the use of down-struts on maximum 3’ centers along carrier. Call Rulon for any questions and refer
     to Rulon Shop Drawings if applicable.
     

5. Step 5: Extending Endure Carriers
   At junctions between carriers, insert one #890 carrier connector. Attach carrier connector inside carriers as shown. Stagger locations of splice. Note:
   Carrier connector is for alignment only. Support carrier as needed near splice.

6. Step 6: Ceiling Strip Attachment
   Beginning at one wall, connect the #810 Ceiling Strips to the carrier, in sequence. If acoustical blankets are to be installed, they should be placed above the ceiling, as the installation progresses. Light cutouts should also be made as the ceiling is installed.
   Note:
   It will be necessary to apply downward pressure to the ceiling carriers when snapping strips onto carrier.

7. Step 7: Spacer Installation (If needed)
   Install #860 spacers between the ceiling strips. Push filler strips between ceiling strips until they snap into place. Refer to project-specific shop drawings for spacer orientation (flat side up or down).
   

8. Step 8: Ceiling Strip Splices
   When it is necessary to continue ceiling strips, align strip ends by placing 1 piece of #851S splice strip inverted, behind the #810 ceiling strips. This should be done on a flat level surface when the strip is installed, prior to the installation of adjacent strips. Fast acting cement shall be used to secure the splice pieces. Ensure adhesive does not contact visible surfaces.
   Note: Field cut all strips with a power miter saw. Use a fine-tooth blade for best results. Field check all strips
   (INCLUDING FULL LENGTH STRIPS) for a 90-degree cut end. Trim as necessary to ensure flush butt joints. For best results, overlap strips and cut at the same time before splicing two strips together.

9. Step 9: Allowance for Expansion
   Trim Endure strips at perimeter to allow for expansion and contraction. Dimension ‘A’ varies between ¼” [6 mm] and ½” [13 mm] for an 18’ [5486 mm] long Endure ceiling, depending upon installation temperature. Contact the Rulon Engineering Department for Clarification.
   Please use Expansion Joints when required for exterior and pool applications. Please apply the same ¼” [6mm] to ½” [13mm] space to allow for expansion and contraction.
   

10. Step 10: Ripping a strip
    Care should be taken to complete a project with full strips, but if ripping a strip in the field becomes a necessity, refer to the detail to the left for how to secure the final strip.

11. Step 11: Optional Floating Trim

    872 Perimeter Trim may be used for floating conditions if specified. Please

    see detail to the left for installation. Trim furnished in nominal lengths for cutting to fit in field.
    

12. Step 12: Adjustment, Cleaning, and Repair

    • The contractor shall make final adjustments to level or contours.
    • Upon completion of the ceiling installation, the contractor shall clean all Endure strips and borders of dirt, dust, grease, oils, fingerprints, etc. using warm, soapy water – followed by a rinse.
    • All work that cannot be successfully cleaned and repaired shall be removed & replaced.
