Rails

Two types of rail are available, “retrofitted” and “prefabricated.” Each type comes in two color variations.

	Product Name	Color
Add-on rail The type to be attached to existing wall or ceiling surfaces.	T-1	Silver White
	T-5　Also used as a ceiling cornice.
Built-in rail Embeds in a wall or ceiling surface. *Available in two thicknesses to match the thickness of the wall board, 9.5 mm (.37″) and 12.5 mm (.49″) (models T-2N, T-3N, TC-10).	T-2N　9.5 mm (.37″) • 12.5 mm (.49″)	Silver White
	T-3N　9.5 mm (.37″) • 12.5 mm (.49″)
	T-4N Also used as a ceiling cornice with a projecting bracket.
	TC-10　9.5 mm (.37″) • 12.5 mm (.49″)

Hooks		Six types of hook are available in the dedicated T series.
		T series Hooks cannot be used for the Picture Rail L series. 1: Fix the hook firmly by turning the root of the hook. 　 2: The hook can be fixed by the weight of the hanging article (load). 　 L series Hooks can be used for the Picture Rail T series. Note, however, that the allowable load is limited to 15 kg (33 lb).

Roller Hooks		Two types of Roller Hook are available in the dedicated T series.
		*The hook can be moved when the hanging article is removed.

Hanger		The T and TC Series can also be used as dedicated hangers.

One-touch Hooks		Use in combination with Straight Hanger E (optional).

Installation Interval and Allowable Load—T Series

*Plural hooks can be hung when the total allowable load is within 30 kg (66 lb) and the interval between hooks is 1 m (39″) or more.

*Even when hanging a picture with two hangers, the allowable load is 30 kg (66 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.
