A: Strap Mounting
zRemove the End Cap and save.
zSlide the perforated hanger straps（not

store）into the groove in the side of the track.
An equal number of straps should be mounted
on each side of the track.
zWrap the straps around the building structure
or nail the straps to the structure. They should
be positioned evenly to balance the track.
zPlacing one hanger strap every foot, per side
is recommended.
zPush End Cap into the track at the end of the
track and secure by screw.
zThe hanger strap can be bought at a hardware
store, recommend size is 11/16 inch (17mm)

B: Direct Mounting
zMounting slots in top of track can be knocked
out and are spaced every 10 inches for
convenience.
zMounting as shown using a mounting screw
every 2 feet is recommended.
zAdditional supports may be added for heavier
loaded applications.
Generally, for any mounting method, do not exceed 4 feet between mounting points, and do not
exceed 6 inches (for 4 feet of track or less in length) or 12 inches (for track that is greater than 4 feet)

Field Cutting and Field Drilling
Remove the end cap and save.
Use a metal cutting power saw (preferably in a
miter box) to cut the track, insulation material,
and copper bus bars vertically with one
straight cut.
If the mounting openings are not in the proper
position to secure after field cutting, use a
power drill to drill an appropriate number of
mounting holes. The holes should be 3/16” in
diameter, and drill in the top centerline of the
track along the track length.
CAUTION: Remove any burrs that may
have resulted from the cut or drill. There
should be no burrs between the copper
wires and the aluminum track housing.
Replace the End Cap at the end of track and
secure with a screw.
