Fire-rated cable support system

Before you start

• Use the exact manufacturer system, approved submittal, load table, anchor type, cable size, bracket, locking device, installation tool, and attachment method for the project. Do not mix components or guess a working load.
• Confirm the exact fire-rated support system, tested or listed assembly, required fire-resistance period, cable, anchors, brackets, spacing, load, and permitted substrate.
• Obtain the current tested or listed installation instructions.
• Verify every component belongs to the same fire-rated system.
• Inspect labels and components before installation.

1. Lay out supports exactly as the approved fire-rated assembly requires.
2. Keep component spacing and attachment locations within the listed limits.
3. Coordinate fire-rated support with penetrations, enclosures, and service access.

Set and support it

1. Install only the listed anchors, brackets, cables, locks, and retention devices.
2. Do not mix standard cable-support parts into the fire-rated system.
