Installation Interval and Allowable Load—L Series

*Plural hooks can be hung when the total allowable load is within 15 kg (33 lb) and the interval between hooks is 1 m (39″) or more.

*Even when hanging a picture with two hangers, the allowable load is 15 kg (33 lb) at maximum. If unexpected trouble occurs during installation, the whole load may tilt to one side and cause a major accident. Remember that the maximum allowable load for a single hanger applies even when hanging a picture with two hangers.

*While more than one picture can be hung, we recommend that you allow a sufficient space between pictures (more than 1 m/39″) to prevent collisions between picture frames during earthquakes, etc.


■Notes on installation
  • Picture Rails should be installed on wall surfaces with firm structural support.
  • The allowable load for Picture Rail depends on the product and installation method. (Table 1)
  • (Table 1) shows the allowable load when Picture Rail is installed at intervals within 450 mm (18″) with tapping screws φ4.0.
  • If Picture Rail is attached to a lightweight ceiling material such as a double ceiling joist (t = 0.5 mm/.02″) or lightweight partition material (stud t = 0.8 mm/.03″), the allowable load is 10 kg (22 lb).
  • The allowable loads for the Picture Rail, hook, and hanger differ. When using them in combination, follow the specs shown in Table 2.
