How To: Connect a Main Runner to Another Main Runner From a Different Manufacturer

In our video, we demonstrate how to connect main runners from different suspended ceiling manufacturers using a splicing technique.
This method is perfect for fitters who struggle to identify the existing suspended ceiling grid system and want to avoid the hassle of taking the whole ceiling grid down.

    I just like to cut the main halfway between the slots then slide the new main tab in the same way you made yours but use the factory tab instead.

    Please don’t field splice likes this. Now you have a slot right at the joint. Measure back 3 inches from slot use a pocket square mark it, cut it. open the inside up feed new main into cut one. Then you have 6” increments. Squeeze it back together, punch a hole and put pop rivet in it.

    Also just throwing up a different type of main your existing tees may not snap in the slot properly. And will have to use tees from other manufacturer. Just use same type of grid if you can and splice it right

    Hi there, This video is to show how to connect main runners from 2 different manufacturers so the tabs would be different and therefore would not clip into each other.

    Notice the holes? They’re different, so that probably won’t be the only thing you’ll have to hack in there

    But why? Too much cutting. Measure 3" from slot, stab it into the other main runner, Bing Bang Boom.

  • @Maltmeister1
    @Maltmeister18 ай бұрын

    Definitely incorrect,center between the slots,once the tab is created separate the tab and cut one side off so its easy to rivet together once you've opened up other cut main.
