I'd like to get everyone's opinion on something. In a suspended T-bar ceiling with troffers, who would you say is responsible for installing the seismic wires for the troffers, the ceiling installer? Or the electrician?
Traditionally, I have always put this on the ceiling guy, but lately, it seems that I'm supposed to install them. if the ceiling is existing, I do usually install the seismic wires, but on a brand new ceiling, I like to have the ceiling guy leave a couple of loose wires at each light for me to attach to the light fixture later. They can do it a lot quicker than us, since this is really all they do!
But lately, all of my general contractors are saying, "the electrician always installs the seismic wires". I've been in the business for nearly 30 years, and my opinion is that as long as it's understood at the start of the job, it doesn't matter.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Andy
