CAUTION
FAILURE TO PROPERLY SECURE
V.I.A. TO THE BUILDING COULD
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
CRUSH HAZARD!
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.
Non-Seismic Applications*
*The building’s Engineer of Record must be
consulted to determine if there are any
seismic requirements.
V.I.A.™- Frames & Structure
Installation Reference Identification (IRID) Label example shown above.
Many V.I.A. Products have specific locations within the floor plan layout.
These products will be identified with an Installation Reference Identification Label.
The Installation Reference ID Label number will indicate the location of the product
within the floor plan layout. Detailed information can be found on the label
including style/model number, finish, Plan dimensions, Measured dimensions etc....

V.I.A. structures - Layout Drawings
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
& Electrical components.

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.

CEILING GRID
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.

NOTE: At this time consider electrical or

Field cutting of track may be required.

Installing Sound & Light Seal for
Tegular Ceiling Applications
Page 8 of 38
939502326 Rev G
NOTE: Cut and place pieces of seal
anywhere that sound or light can travel
through the tegular grid.
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.

WHERE TO START INSTALLING STRUCTURE
Use the General Rule of 4-3-2.
Because it’s easier to adjust in two directions rather than 3 or 4,
start with the largest junctions in any given layouts.
Using Figure 1 for an example:
Start with the 4-way junction and work toward the 3-way junctions
in all directions, then work toward the 2-way junctions.

CAUTION: When installing Steelcase V.I.A. over Steelcase Low-Profile floor, floor
guide (style number FEFG) MUST be applied to all leveler screws to distribute
wall / applied furniture loading. Failure to consider application and loading
may result in wall disengagement from ceiling track, resulting in personal injury.
NOTE: When the V.I.A. Wall is fully loaded, the wall has the potential to deliver 1,200 pounds per leveler screw to floor
condition. Leveler screws loaded to 1,200 pounds will exert local pressure loading of 11,000 PSI. Floor type / Steelcase
product application must be properly matched in accordance with local building codes and floor condition to avoid flooring
damage and ensure proper performance of Steelcase Wall Systems.
