It looks like the following is missing from MF’04.
Projector Mounts
TV Brackets and VCR Mounts
Why doesn’t Section 27 41 23 “Audio-Video Accessories” work?
Because I don’t write electrical specs.
Colin put them in Section 11 5270 - TV Mounts and Lift Systems, which is not an official MF’04 section but may work.
its a bracket. why isn’t it just in finish carpentry (with the other shelving hardware); or metal fabrications or some other accessory type section. the wiring is in the wall; the stuff plugs into it, and sits on the bracket.
Because the bracket is not attached to any casework. The brackets are not like an under counter keyboard tray or in-desk CPU mount. These brackets are hung from the structural members and penetrate the ceiling. Sometimes the brackets are mounted to directly to the walls.
Who said that only electrical engineers can write Division 27 sections?
I agree. I’ll write a section in any division I think is appropriate.
Where do you put scoreboards or electronic reader boards?
Scoreboards: Section 11 66 43 “Interior Scoreboards” or Section 11 68 43 “Exterior Scoreboards”
Reader Boards: Section 10 14 63 “Electronic Message Signage”
I made a category that seems logical in MF04:
11 5220 “Audio-Visual Equipment Accessories.”
I have yet to use this actual section because I haven’t had a project w/ more than one or two items, but have used Level 3 sections:
11 5221 “Projector Lifts”
11 5222 “Monitor Supports” (for TV brackets)
We cover them in 11 52 23.
The ‘23’ is derived from 27 41 23 - Audio-Video Accessories.
Sounds like a good idea. Thanks. Have you guys suggested this on www.masterformat.com?
