1.6.2.2.2 A level line is established with laser or nylon string. A string works
well because it can be used to align the bracket one side of the
Trapeze.
1.6.2.2.3 Mark in a way to ensure that the routing of the cable containment is
either parallel or perpendicular to the building line. It can be either
mark by line on wall by pulling a string along the cable containment
route.
