CAUTION
CRUSH HAZARD!
FAILURE TO PROPERLY SECURE
V.I.A. TO THE BUILDING COULD
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
Read the entire Assembly Directions
before beginning installation.
Building construction varies greatly. The
Building’s Engineer of Record is responsible
for the design of building floors, ceilings
and walls which V.I.A. attaches to and must
verify the adequancy of the mounting
even if provided by Steelcase.
The building owner or designated agent is
responsible for verifying that the
installation is in compliance with all local
codes and regulations.
V.I.A.™ - Frames & Structure
Non-Seismic Applications*
The building’s Engineer of Record must be
*
consulted to determine if there are any
seismic requirements.
If you have a problem, question, or request, call
your local dealer, or Steelcase Line 1 at
888.STEELCASE (888.783.3522)

Layout drawings give dimensions and details to help
installers determine location of product.
Ceiling track locations are taken from the centerline
dimensions on the plan view.
Locations of vertical components are found on the
plan view designated with individual IRID labels.
Locations of horizontal components are found in the
elevation views designated with individual IRID
labels.
Separate elevations are supplied for Structure, Skin

V.I.A. structures - General information
Use the centerline dimensions from the layout
drawing plan view to determine location of ceiling
track centerlines. Several methods can be used to
mark lines on the ceiling, including laser transit,
pencil marks on tape, chalk lines.
See pages 9 through 18 for additional ceiling track
information to determine cutting lengths for common
ceiling track conditions.
Transfer the ceiling centerline to the floor by means
of laser transits or plumb bob.
Make sure that the tape or lines are not visible after
install is complete.

For the best results use a 5-point alignment self
leveling laser to transfer lines, plumb, level and square
+
to within 1/32 of an inch. The most accurate
feature to reference, while leveling, is the vertical
post system hole shown on page 21 & throughout
various V.I.A. assembly directions.

Installing Ceiling Channels
1. Attach the ceiling track to your ceiling in
compliance with local building codes and
common local practice as directed by the
lead installer. See 'channel mounting options'
for typical handling of common ceiling
conditions.
Connections should be made at least every
four feet for normal duty and at least every
two feet for heavy duty and along straight
runs, and within eight inches of the end of
any run. Each off-module connection or
junction should also have a connection
within eight inches of the joint.

Installing Ceiling Channels
The Christmas Tree fasteners and tape serve
only as a shipping and assembly aid. They are
not required after the ceiling track is installed.
Move or remove them as needed to accommodate
the ceiling track clips.
If the channel is cut, it may be helpful to add a
piece of tape to one end. This maintains alignment
between the seal and steel channel while attaching
the channel to the ceiling.

INSTALLATION (cont.)
TIP: Before cutting the ceiling track, consider
locations of pre-punched holes to minimize the
need for additional holes.
3. Use a saw to cut ceiling track when required.
Remove all burrs with a file. Square cuts will
insure best appearence. When routing power or
communication, sheet metal shears can be
used to cut a hole in the top of the ceiling track.
Avoid cutting the side of the ceiling track
because these cuts will be visible.
4. To create a tight fit when a corner ceiling
track lacks structure, a wood block can be
installed above the ceiling tile for reinforcement.
