Safety
• 2 or more people are required for handling some of the pieces for this system.

gloves, safety eyeglasses, hardhats, etc.
• Do not put a load on the system until the installation is complete.
• Be sure all bolts, nuts, and threaded rods are properly tightened down.

Cleaning
To clean Tate Grid components please use a common non-abrasive mild detergent containing less than
0.5% phosphate and water, applied using a sponge. The components should be dried using a soft towel.
If solvents are required to remove materials not soluble in water such as petroleum products, the
following solvents can be used: Isopropyl alcohol, denatured alcohol, mineral spirits or methanol.

Main Runner Alignment


The main runners are not symmetric, they must all be oriented in the same direction. Be sure that all
runs of main runners are oriented in the same direction or the grid will not align properly.

Bolt Torque
All bolt connections to the top slot of the grid should be tightened flush to a washer with a maximum
torque value of 30 in-lb, using a torque limiting screw gun.

All bolt or nut connections to the bottom slot of the grid should be tightened flush to a washer or
mounting bracket with a maximum torque value of 30 in-lb, using a torque limiting screw gun.
