3.3.3 EYE LAG CEILING FASTENING HANGER
3.3.3.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Hilti eye lag ceiling fastening hanger system is a cost effective and efficient means of supporting direct and indirect hung suspended lay-in panel ceilings . The eye lag ceiling hanger is manufactured from a hardened zinc electroplated mild carbon steel and is designed for attachment of suspended ceiling hanger wires into wood and sheet steel base materials . Each hanger is provided with a 0.177 " pre-punched hole for attachment of ceiling wires . The EL S and EL SD versions are manufactured with steel washers to provide stability during installation into steel base materials .

1 The tabulated allowable load values are for the Eye Lag screws only , using a safety factor of 3.0 per ICC-ES AC233 and AC118 . Ceiling wires or other attachments must be investigated in accordance with accepted design criteria .
2 Oblique load applied 45-Degrees from the longitudinal axis of the fastener .
3 Based on minimum 1-1 / 2 " Eye Lag screw penetration into the wood member . For fasteners with integrated washer , fastener should be driven so that washer is in contact with base material .
4 Based on testing in wood with minimum specific gravity of 0.50 . For wood members with different specific gravity measurements , refer to Section 11 of the National Design Specification for Wood Construction .
5 For edge , end distance and spacing requirements , refer to Table 11.5.1E of the National Design Specification for Wood Construction .

= 33 ksi .
3 Based on minimum three full threads penetration through the sheet steel member . 4 Oblique angle load applied 45-Degrees from the longitudinal axis of the fastener .
Warning : Because of the potential for delayed hydrogen assisted stress corrosion cracking , many hardened steel fasteners are not recommended for use with dissimilar metals or chemically treated wood when moisture may be present or in corrosive environments .
