The present invention relates to an apparatus for attaching installations above a ceiling for ceiling panels between substantially inverted T-shaped ceiling beams, the ceiling beams (20) being arranged in a substantially rectangular / square pattern to form T-beam crossings and defining ceiling panel (22) supporting areas. The apparatus includes a fixation base having connection points for the installation with at least three legs (2) extending from the fixation base (1) for connecting the fixation base (1) to the ceiling beams (20) in a beam crossing and for attaching the fixation base (1) at a distance from said beam crossing, as well as an attachment portion (3) for fastening the legs (2) to the beams (20). Also described is a method for attaching installations above a ceiling for ceiling panels (22).
