3.3.3 X-CX CEILING CLIP AND HANGER ASSEMBLIES

3.2.3.1 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.

1. The tabulated allowable load values are for the powder-actuated ceiling clip assemblies only, using a safety factor that is greater or equal to 5.0, calculated based on testing in accordance with ICC-ES AC70 and ASTM E1190. Connected components, including wires, must be investigated separately.
2. Multiple fasteners are recommended for any attachment. 3. The concrete thickness at the point of penetration must be a minimum of three times the fastener embedment depth.
