About this file
This is a specification document for acoustical tile ceiling installation at the Anacostia No. 2 Wastewater Pump Station (WWPS) operated by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland. The project, documented in Section 09210 of the specifications, details the installation of fire-resistive mineral fiber acoustical tile ceilings with suspended grid systems as part of the Bar Screen and NFPA 820 Upgrades initiative completed in August 2022. The specification requires recessed edge lay-in panels measuring 24 inches by 24 inches with a minimum 3/4-inch thickness, featuring a fine pattern finish in painted white. Acceptable manufacturers include Armstrong (Item 556, Cirrus Open Plan) and USG (Item 76775, Eclipse Clima Plus), with panels meeting ASTM E1264 Type III Form 1 standards, Class A fire rating, a minimum noise reduction coefficient of 0.65, and a ceiling attenuation class of 35 or higher. The suspension system must utilize aluminum tee grid components from approved manufacturers such as Armstrong AL Prelude Plus, Chicago Metallic 830 system, or USG Donn AX system, with stainless steel hanger wires spaced maximum 4 feet on center and fastened securely to the structure above.
Installation requirements include maintaining humidity levels between 65 to 75 percent for 25 hours before, during, and after installation, with uniform temperatures maintained between 55 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Hanger wires must be wrapped minimum three times horizontally with ends turned upward, and four-way wire splays at 45 degrees from the main runner are required to support structure for every 144 square feet of ceiling area. Additional edge molding must be installed at intersections with vertical surfaces, with corners either mitered or fitted with corner caps. The contractor must provide one additional acoustical unit from the same production run for every 100 square feet of installed area and submit detailed shop drawings showing grid layout, hanger spacing, fastening details, and access locations prior to installation. All materials must be delivered in original protective packaging with manufacturer labels indicating brand name, pattern, size, thickness, and fire rating.

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 SEQUENCING
A. Lay out grid.
B. Coordinate with mechanical and electrical equipment in framing and cutting material around ceiling penetrations.
C. Install suspension systems after mechanical work above is complete.
D. Install acoustical units.
3.2 INSTALLATION OF SUSPENDED GRID SYSTEM
A. Hang level and in straight alignment directly from structure following ASTM C636 and the manufacturer’s current printed instructions for type of installation required for this Project.
B. Hanger Wires:
1. Space maximum 4 feet on center each direction and securely attach to structure above.
2. Install additional hangers at ends of each suspension member and at light fixtures, 6 inches from vertical surfaces.
3. Do not splay wires more than 5 inches in a 4-foot vertical drop.
4. Provide four-way wire splays at 45 degrees from main runner to support structure for every 144 square feet of ceiling area.
5. Wrap wire minimum three times horizontally, turning ends upward.
6. Where hanger wires cannot be hung vertically from structure above because of ducts, pipes, cable trays, or other interferences, provide trapezes of steel channels (minimum 2-inch deep, 16-gauge cold-rolled carrying channels) hung on steel rods or 8-gauge wire from structural members above. Hang ceiling wires from these trapezes or similar members supporting ducts or pipes. Do not hang directly from ducts or pipes.
C. Edge Molding:
1. Install at intersection of suspended ceiling and vertical surfaces.
2. Miter corners where moldings intersect or install corner caps.
