Unfortunately for this arguments sake we had never failed an inspection for fastening cable to the ceiling grid support wires. I suppose until we do it will be this way.
By Code, If you hang your own ceiling grid support wires and mark them then they will continue to pass... :grin:
I totally agree with the lack of consideration for Life Safety also.
While it been my pleasure to work with the stuff, it's also nice to pass it off.
I've never seen it addressed badly, but it's always been a new install...
Mostly, I think it's also Code specific to the individual equipment in the ceiling.
There is work space requirements around all components, above ceiling A/C is the most common, the door to it needs a dedicated space requirement.
I beleive both of the following are in national codes in some manner:
| I've also seen it stated in new spec. any installs will be a minimum of two inches from another service.
|Their individual equipment spec will also say no foriegn equipment shall be attached, not unlike ours.
