2.0 USES

Hilti low-velocity powder-actuated X-CX Ceiling Clip

Assemblies are used as alternatives to cast-in-place

anchors described in IBC Section 1901.3 (2012 IBC

Section 1908; 2009 IBC Section 1911) for placement in

concrete and the welds and bolts used to attach materials

to steel described in IBC Sections 2204.1 and 2204.2,

respectively. For structures regulated under the IRC, the

assemblies may be used where an engineered design is

submitted in accordance with IRC Section R301.1.3.

3.0 DESCRIPTION

3.1 X-CX Ceiling Clip Assemblies:

3.1.1 General: Each X-CX Ceiling Clip Assembly consists

of a steel angle (ceiling clip) premounted on either a Hilti

X-AL-H or X-C powder-actuated fastener. A typical

assembly is illustrated in Figure 1A. See Table 1 for

assembly designations, fastener dimensions, applicable

base materials and applicable load tables.

3.1.2 X-AL-H Fastener: The X-AL-H fastener is formed

from carbon steel and is heat-treated to a nominal core

hardness of 58 HRC. The fastener has a zinc coating

complying with ASTM B633, SC1, Type III. The fastener

has a smooth tapered shank, with a nominal diameter

beyond the taper of 0.177 inch and a head diameter of

0.322 inch.

3.1.3 X-C Fastener: The X-C fastener is recognized in

ESR-1663. It is formed from carbon steel and is heat-

treated to a nominal core hardness of 56 HRC. The

fastener has a zinc coating complying with ASTM B633,

SC1, Type III. The fastener has a smooth straight shank,

with a nominal diameter of 0.138 inch and a head diameter

of 0.322 inch.

3.1.4 Ceiling Clip: The ceiling clip is manufactured from

carbon steel conforming to DIN EN 10346 grade

S280GD with a Z140-N-A-C coating. The clip measures

0.79 inch (20 mm) wide and 0.059 inch (1.5 mm) thick. The

outstanding leg has a tear-shaped hole with a nominal

diameter of 0.3 inch (7.5 mm) through which the ceiling

wire is attached. See Figure 1B for an image of the clip.

3.2 Substrate Materials:

3.2.1 Concrete: Normal weight and sand-lightweight

concrete must comply with IBC Chapter 19 or IRC

Section R402.2, as applicable. The minimum concrete

compressive strength at the time of fastener installation

must be as noted in the applicable allowable load table.

3.2.2 Steel Deck Panels: Steel deck panels must

conform to a code-referenced material standard, with the

minimum thickness and minimum yield and tensile

strengths noted in Table 3. See Figure 2 for panel

configuration requirements.

3.2.3 Steel: Structural steel supports must comply with

the minimum requirements of ASTM A36, ASTM A572

Grade 50 or ASTM A992, and must have the minimum

thickness, yield strength and tensile strength as shown in

Table 4.

4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION

4.1 Design:

4.1.1 Allowable Loads: The applicable allowable load

tables for Hilti ceiling clip assemblies driven into different

base materials may be determined by referencing Table 1.

The most critical applied loads, excluding seismic load

effects, resulting from the load combinations in IBC Section
