Description

Star Hanger Cable & Connector Hardware is manufactured by Suncore, a well-known ocean-sailing company. The hardware has an attractive nautical design, and it looks strong because it is.

Ceiling Structural Connection

There are two options for structural connections: exposed or hidden.

For exposed structural connections, use either: Pad Eye or Eye Bolt; both stainless steel.

Hidden structural connections are generally covered by finished drywall. A good option, is to use a 1/4" - 20 Beam Clamp, connected to a threaded rod. There should be a few inches of threaded rod exposed through the finished ceiling. The exposed rod is then cut to about 1/2" and cleaned up, ready for the Ball Connector.
