Grid tee for suspended ceiling

A main runner for a suspended ceiling grid system comprising:

• a) a central web formed of two layers of sheet metal having first and second ends;
• b) a reinforcement bulb extending from an upper portion of the central web between the first and second ends of the central web;
• c) opposed flanges extending from a portion end of the central web between the first and second ends of the central web;
• d) first and second end connector integral with the central web and extending from the first and second ends of the central web, respectively, past the flanges, the first end connector being displaced out of a plane defined by the central web in a first direction and the second end connector being displaced out of the plane defined by the central web in a second direction opposite to the first direction, each of the first and second end connectors having a distal edge;
• e) a strap adjacent each end of the central web deformed out of the plane of the central web in a direction opposite to the adjacent end connector, the strap being configured to receive an end portion of an end connector of a second tee
• f) each of the first and second end connectors further comprising a rectangularly-shaped embossment extending out of a first side of the end connector, the embossment being defined by a proximal edge, a distal edge, an upper edge and a lower edge, and first and second spaced-apart locking tabs each having a proximal tapered camming surface and distal locking surface extending out of a second side of the end connector, such that the distal locking surface of the locking tabs engage the distal edge of the end connector of the second tee.
