510 Ceiling Clip Pair with Screws: Aluminum

DESCRIPTION

The 510 Ceiling Clip Pair is part of the 500 Series and was designed to discretely hang architectural panels overhead to furring. The 510 Ceiling Clip is a high-performance replacement for the standard Z type clip that is typically used to hang ceiling and other panels. No manufacturer currently recommends the use of standard Z Clips because panels continually expand and contract in size. This movement has a tenancy to pull and push against the clip. Over time this creeping action can literally move the panel off its track. The 510 Ceiling Clips have a stop edge that physically prevent the clips pulling off the edge. They offer improved stability and safety. This is a single location fastener with a J-Hook shape and 1/8” deep ledge that allows the two clips to latch securely while remaining fully removable, with a coordinated lift.

INSTALLATION

The 510 Ceiling Clip has 2 basic components that are both made from the (511 Ceiling Clip Bar); a 2” part to attach to the panel, and a 3” part with notched corners for the ceiling/furring. The notched corners work as stops so the 2” piece remains secure with ¼” adjustability. Silicon is recommended for final placement. Accurate alignment can be achieved using our 537 Ceiling Clip Router Template. The panels are lifted into place and dropped 1/4” to lock them. Once locked in place, the panels can be moved, but only with coordinated lifting on all edges, clips have 1/4” vertical clearance.
