Description
Dome ceiling anchor for sloped ceilings or walls
A multi-use dome fixing is a good solution when the exact site circumstances are unknown, as the slotted dome shape cable anchor offers versatility.
The 2m long cable supplied with each kit has a ball termination at one end. This is retained inside the dome anchor; the slot enables the cable to exit at any angle.
Excess cable can be cut off after final positioning. In situations such as picture hanging, it is sometimes convenient to coil up excess cable behind the picture (in case a longer drop is required subsequently).
The hooks are readily adjustable and very convenient for the installer.
When used to hang signs or wall banners, the final levelling up is done at the bottom of the cable rather than at ceiling level. This is faster and simpler, especially for an installer working on their own.
The 180-degree screw-on fitting can also be fixed onto sloping ceilings, bulkheads or vertical walls. This fitting can be used to hang almost anything from a sloping ceiling.
Choice of adjustable height hook
Both hooks have a safety catch to prevent accidental unhooking. They have slightly different aesthetics and features:
Safe Hook
Safe Hook is our popular gated hook with sleek lines and a shiny chrome finish, which matches the chrome on the dome ceiling anchor at the top of the cable.
This hook is included in UT.KIT. E.
We suggest a maximum load of 6kg.
Bee-Line Hook
Bee-Line is our new adjustable hook with a bright silvery finish, at a slightly lower cost than Safe Hook - and it is actually stronger. It has the advantage of a straight-through cable path, which enables extra hooks to be added to create a daisy-chain configuration if required.
One hook is included in the set and extra Beel-Line Hooks can be purchased as required.
This hook is included in UT.KIT. EB
We suggest a maximum working load of 10kg for the slotted dome anchor fitting (the Bee-Line hook itself would support a higher load).
Summary of features
Chrome dome fitting has a swivel slot so it can be used to hang signs from a wall or bulkhead and from a flat or sloping ceiling. Also suitable for use with poster rails.
Both hooks feature a spring-loaded' keep' - so signs, pictures and other suspended items cannot become unhooked by accident.
The height is easily adjusted thanks to the inbuilt gripper, with a finger-tip clutch release button (Variable-height).
The cable supplied is 2m long. Excess cable can be cut off as required after height adjustment.
We supply good-quality cable cutters as an optional extra.
The multi-use dome kit is an excellent hanging wire system for suspending posters and hanging pictures, or signs and notices.
Kit E and Kit EB comprise one sign hanging fitting and one gated hook.
Kit M consists of the Dome Ceiling Anchor with a 2m long plain-end cable. It is offered for customers who wish to use a different hook or alternative fitting.
1.5mm galvanised steel cable, length 2 metre, with ball termination at the top end. It can be shortened after adjustment on site with good quality wire cutters. We suggest you do not cut the cable until after you have threaded on the hook. Safe working load up to 10kg with 5:1 safety factor.
Ceiling hanger specification:
180 degree angle capability chrome finish dome shape anchor. Two part fitting with base which screws to ceiling or wall. Supplied with wall plug and screw.
Hook Specification:
Fully adjustable safety hook which serves as a picture hook or for suspending signs and other items to be hung. The cable can pass right through the hook and is gripped internally by an inbuilt clutch, which can be released for fine adjustment using the entry nipple (where the cable enters). A spring action 'safety keep' helps prevent the hook from becoming detached. Both Hooks require a 5-6mm hole in a suspension eye or sign panel. The top edge of the hole should be 4mm from the top edge of the panel (i.e. centre of hole 6.5 - 7mm from the edge of the panel). See diagram below.
Screw-on sign hanger mounting instructions:
Unscrew the two parts of the dome fitting.
Position the base of the fitting against the ceiling or wall and carefully mark the fixing location.
Decide whether to use the plastic screw plug or screw directly, e.g. into wood (consult a tradesperson if in doubt about how to achieve a suitable fixing). Check for electrical cables or pipes before drilling to avoid potential hazards. Consider alternative fixings if site conditions dictate (the hole in the dome anchor base is 4mm diameter).
Thread the cable down through the dome (until the ball termination rests inside the dome).
Screw the dome back onto the base.
Thread the hook onto the bottom end of the cable and adjust the height of the hook as required. Use the clutch release button to position the hook at the required height.
Optionally cut off excess cable with good wire cutters when you are quite satisfied that the height is correct and the suspended component is quite level.
Precautions:
Do not lubricate the gripper mechanism in the hook. Do not overload and ensure that your ceiling or wall fixing method is appropriate to the ceiling or wall construction and the intended loading. Do not paint the hook gripper. Only intended for static loads and for use indoors. Installers must satisfy themselves that the sign/picture/poster hanging kit is suitable for the specific application, as site circumstances are beyond our control.
