V.I.A. structures - General information

Use the centerline dimensions from the layout drawing plan view to determine location of ceiling track centerlines. Several methods can be used to mark lines on the ceiling, including laser transit, pencil marks on tape, chalk lines.

See pages 9 through 18 for additional ceiling track information to determine cutting lengths for common ceiling track conditions.

Transfer the ceiling centerline to the floor by means of laser transits or plumb bob.

Make sure that the tape or lines are not visible after install is complete.

For the best results use a 5-point alignment self leveling laser to transfer lines, plumb, level and square to within 1/32 of an inch. The most accurate feature to reference, while leveling, is the vertical post system hole shown on page 21 & throughout various V.I.A. assembly directions.

CEILING TRACK INSTALLATION (cont.)

TIP: Before cutting the ceiling track, consider locations of pre-punched holes to minimize the need for additional holes.

3. Use a saw to cut ceiling track when required. Remove all burrs with a file. Square cuts will insure best appearence. When routing power or communication, sheet metal shears can be used to cut a hole in the top of the ceiling track. Avoid cutting the side of the ceiling track because these cuts will be visible.

4. To create a tight fit when a corner ceiling track lacks structure, a wood block can be installed above the ceiling tile for reinforcement.

WHERE TO START INSTALLING STRUCTURE

Use the General Rule of 4-3-2.

Because it’s easier to adjust in two directions rather than 3 or 4, start with the largest junctions in any given layouts.

Using Figure 1 for an example:Start with the 4-way junction and work toward the 3-way junctions in all directions, then work toward the 2-way junctions.

JUNCTION ASSEMBLIES

Junction assemblies are made up of vertical posts connected with junction blocks to make corner structure transitions. They contain many of the same features as vertical posts and sometimes needs to be reconfigured when attaching to other V.I.A. products. See vertical post assembly - Reconfigure for other V.I.A. products.

Vertical junction assemblies will have corresponding 8-hole intermediate horizontal rail mounting pattern (when present) even though not all locations call for horizontals. (Refer to vertical post assembly features page 21.)

Verifying each vertical has the same number and location of hole patterns will help to indicate that junctions were assembled correctly in the factory.

NOTE: See pages 35 & 36 for special junction configurations.

NOTE: If acoustic seal color change is required, see pages 37-38.

CHANGING ACOUSTIC SEALS

FULL HEIGHT VERTICALPOST SHOWN

ACOUSTIC SEAL

IRID LABEL

COLOR CAP (TAPE)

V.I.A. components are factory made with one of three customer specified color acoustic seals. Sometimes the layout requires a different color to be applied in the field to one side. Refer to elevation drawings to determine seal color.

Acoustic seals are best replaced prior to constructing frame components. (Vertical Posts, Junctions & Structural Horizontals)

1. For vertical posts and junctions, locate the correct component by IRID label for constructing. Determine if any reconfiguring is required (see page 22).

2. Once vertical post orientation is determined, remove the acoustic seal from the side which requires changing.

3. Use a heavy duty utility shear to cut replacement seal to the same length as the one being replaced. Cut the ends as straight as possible.

4. With the removed seal end as a guide, use a sharp knife to trim away the bulbs on one end of the seal to match the seal being replaced.

5. Apply the new color cap (tape) to the top of the vertical post over the old color cap (tape). (Skip this step for partial height verticals)

6. Replace the seal using the opposite side seal as a guide for placement (6a). Press seal into grooves until it seats flush and taunt to the vertical post (6b).

7. For structural horizontals top and bottom. Locate the correct component by IRID label for area constructing. Determine if there are any electrical pass through requirements per elevation drawings.

8. Remove the acoustic seal from the side which requires changing.

9. Use a heavy duty utility shear to cut replacement seal to the same length as the one being replaced. Cut the ends as straight as possible.

10. Remove the tape release paper and replace the seal using the opposite side seal as a guide for placement.

NOTE: Intermediate horizontal seals can be replaced after assembled to frame. Remove and replace with correct color per elevation drawings. Cut replacement seal to the same length as the one removed and apply like the vertical seal.
