Site Conditions, Storage and Handling
• Read the Installation Guide before handling.
• Always wear appropriate hand protection when handling.
• Only store in clean, dry conditions.
• Do not over stack.
• Do not stack in a way likely to cause falls.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the materials delivered to the installation site are safeguarded
from the time of purchase until the nished ceiling is handed over. However, it is usually the main contractor who is
responsible for the conditions on site so both parties must be aware of the requirements of suspended ceilings for at
dry, clean and safe storage conditions.
Poor or rough handling, rolling or dropping of the product on corners or edges may cause damage to the product or the
product to deteriorate.
Lengths of Node should not span between points as any load applied mid-span may cause product damage.
Site storage of items should be at, preferably on a suitable pallet (supporting the entire length) without additional top
loading.
Consideration should be given to the advice of the Occupational Health and Safety Representative regarding manual
handling. An assessment should be made of any risk and if necessary mechanical lifting equipment should be used.
The storage space must be cleared of debris and, in general, should be enclosed. The Node Recessed Channel should be
kept clean, dry and protected from the elements.
Site conditions should be prepared for installation of the Node Recessed Channel. The site should be clean, dry and clear
of other trades working in the ceiling void.

Node Integrated Sight Block
The sight block is included in any location where the Node Plenum is not installed. The sight block comes pre-installed
in the trough. The sight block can be trimmed on site to allow the passage of airow below the plenum. The sight block
can be cut before or after the channel is installed in the ceiling, but should only be done once the plenum positioning is
known.
The sight block is made up of an extruded plastic and can be easily cut with a sharp utility knife, marking out the area
where the plenum box will be situated and scoring the plastic extrusion whilst still installed in the channel. Once three
sides have been cut, the plastic can be twisted and snapped o to reveal an opening within the sight block.
Note: Always use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment and follow Risk and Method statements when cutting materials.
