The dimensions of the Topcat are 1’ x 2’ and is designed to fit into any standard
2’ x 2’ or 2’ x 4’ suspended ceiling tile grid.
a. The ceiling tile will need to be cut to accommodate the Topcat.
b. Set the ceiling tile on a flat work surface with the patterned side facing down.
c. Using a straight edge, cut a 1’ x 2’ section from the ceiling tile, leaving a 1’ x 2’
section and a 2’ x 3’ section (see figure 2), or two 1’ x 2’ sections (see figure 4).
d. Locate the 2’ ceiling grid t-bar provided. Locate the attachment slots in
the existing ceiling grid and snap the new t-bar into place to create two
openings to create a 1’ x 2’ and a 2’ x 3’ opening (see figure 3) or
two 1’ x 2’ openings (see figure 5).

The Topcat has spacer brackets mounted on each of the four sides. With these
brackets installed and the ceiling tile is cut in half, the Topcat will fit into a

brackets removed, it will fit a 300mm x 600mm ceiling grid with an additional tile
support. (see Figure 4 and Figure 5)
Remove the spacer brackets from each of the four sides of the Topcat. (see
