3.3.2 X-CX CEILING CLIP AND HANGER ASSEMBLIES
3.3.2.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Ceiling clip assemblies are an economical and recognized method of suspending acoustical ceiling grids and panels from concrete and steel . These pre-assembled ceiling clips consist of a sheet metal clip with a pre-mounted powder-actuated fastener and are pre-tied with wires of various lengths and gauges depending on ceiling height and other requirements . When the fastening is made , the clip , fastener and wire are installed in one step . Further productivity can be achieved through the use of a Hilti powder-actuated pole tool .
Product features :
The X-CX ceiling clip is premounted with either an X-AL-H fastener or an X-C fastener .
The X-AL-H fastener has a long conical tip design , which better ensures optimal tension loads and stick rate while X-C fastener is a standard solution for fastening into normal weight concrete or concrete over metal deck .
