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. 3.3.3.2 MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS Part Material Designation Steel Diameter/ Plating Thickness X-AL-H Fastener Carbon Steel 0.177'' 5 m Zinc X-C27 Fastener Carbon Steel 0.138'' 5 m Zinc X-CX Clip Carbon Steel 16 GA 5 m Zinc Wire Carbon Steel 12 GA, 9 GA or 8 GA Class 1 1.
