Air curtian installation

[sajeel]

Am looking to install a dimplex ac3cn recessed air curtain into suspended ceiling the weight of unit is 8.7kg and has holes for m8 threaded rods, the ceiling above in the shop will be plasterboard and would like to know what fitting are best to support the m8 threaded rods. Last time i installed an air curtain that was recessed i had the luxury of being able to build a frame to fix unit to.

Thanks in advance.

I've installed these, use threaded rod hanger flanges and fix into the joist to make a unistrut frame up. then attach rod to the frame to drop down to the curtain heater. You'll be able to move then around on the frame then to match the holes on the heater

thanks for replies any links on where you purchase items from ?

so hang the flanges off the unistrut frame and then you move to match and fix to heater ?

Do the channel nuts aka zebs fit straight in unistut rail ?
