Spans up to 8’ are possible, allowing for more flexibility and few connection points to the building structure. Tate Duo also features a two-layer continuously threaded slot on the underside of the extrusion so that multiple threaded rod diameters may be use for hanging different equipment within a building. Replacing custom-built, on-site structural support systems, such as strut, with Duo offers the most flexible solution for future configuration changes of any pre-designed ceiling solution.
Multiple grid patterns and configurations are available.Replaces custom-built, on-site structural support systems such as strut.Fast and easy to install.Eliminates the need for multiple trades on-site.Experienced data center manufacturer and contracting teams.The bottom side of the Tate Duo structural grid is available with a M10-1.5/M12-1.75 continuiously threaded dual slot in for mounting items directly to the grid. Refer to the table below for load performance details on the grid and connections to the building structure.
| On Center Hanger Spacing (mm) | Max safe working uniform load kN/m2 |
Max Allowable Deflection |
Max safe working load (kN) |
Ultimate point load (kN) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1200 x 1200 | 10.8 | 10mm | 3.56 | 7.12 |
| 1500 x 1200 | 8.6 | 10mm | 2.22 | 4.45 |
| 1800 x 1200 | 7.2 | 10mm | 1.78 | 3.56 |
| 2100 x 1200 | 6.1 | 10mm | 1.11 | 2.22 |
| 2400 x 1200 | 5.4 | 10mm | 0.67 | 1.33 |
If you want the grid spacing to be on a 600mm x 600mm or 600mm x 1200mm module size, use this table to determine tile size requirement:
| Grid Profile | Grid Spacing (L x W) | Tile Size (L x W) |
|---|---|---|
| M10 - 1.5 & M12 - 1.75 Bottom Slot | 600mm x 600mm | 577mm x 577mm +/- 3mm |
| 600mm x 1200mm | 577mm x 1177 +/- 3mm |
Note: Maximum tile size = inside grid dimensions minus 3mm. Minimum tile size is based on a minimum overlap on the extrusion flange of 3mm when the tile is shifted all the way to one side.
If you want the grid spacing to be on a larger module size to fit standard 600mm x 600mm or 600mm x 1200mm nominal tile sizes, use this table:
| Grid Profile | Grid Spacing (L x W) | Tile Size (L x W) |
|---|---|---|
| M10 - 1.5 & M12 - 1.75 Bottom Slot | 618mm x 618mm | 595mm x 595mm +/- 3mm |
| 618mm x 1218mm | 595mm x 1195mm +/- 3mm |
Note: Maximum tile size = inside grid dimensions minus 3mm. Minimum tile size is based on a minimum overlap on the extrusion flange of 3mm when the tile is shifted all the way to one side.
