If you prefer, or get into a situation where the ceiling height above the girder is difficult to
access, you can select the PVC pipe installation method:
1. Thread plastic pipe hanger up thru the bottom of 5’ PVC pipe until it appears at the top.
2. Attach your selected item of weight to the protruding end of the pipe hanger at the top
of the 5’ PVC pipe section. Metal fasteners (nut and bolt) have been used with success.
3. Extend PVC pipe up to bottom metal piece of girder you are going to suspend the MEU
from.
4. Carefully continue to thread plastic hanger thru PVC so that the end in the ceiling goes
over the girder and comes down on the other side.
5. Pull the end of the plastic hanger down far enough so you can create a loop of
appropriate length (at the time of this writing a set height off of the ceiling tile has not
been established. Use good judgment that allows for MEU suspension off-tile, but does
not interfere with MEU access by DST and Goliath personnel using big blue).
6. Once you have chosen you preferred length, cut the plastic hanger to size and close the
loop by matching up the pre-punched holes at the end of each side and zip-tying them
together.
7. Repeat steps 1 thru 6 with another length of plastic hanger.
8. You will now have two loops of equal length which you can rest your MEU in.
