seismic-ACM7-clip-submittal-AC3269.pdf Donn Suspension Systems Submittal Sheet ® ACM7 Seismic Clip Description The D ACM7 seismic clip is designed to provide the most robust hold in the most stringent ONN seismic design categories. ACM7 Seismic Clip – Meets or exceeds all national code requirements with 7/8 wall molding – Offers an aesthetically attractive option to traditional 2 angle molding – Provides evidence of compliance (and greatly exceed) ICC Evaluation Service, Inc. (ICC-ES) AC156 and AC368 requirements – Provides support on either side of the web and around the bulb of the tee – Laboratory-tested to greatly exceed all structural and seismic requirements including tension, compression and tee fallout – Slot allows 3/4 movement in both directions – The clip adjusts easily to accommodate tees that intersect the wall at an angle other than 90 degrees – No special fasteners required Applications – All interior general use areas – All main D suspension systems, DX/DXL, F (DXF), F 1/8 (DXFF), DXI I (DXI), ®™®®™™ ONNINELINEINELINEDENTITEE C (DXT), CE (Controlled Environment), DXW, DXLA, and ZXLA (Environmental), include the ™™™ ENTRICITEE code-compliant intermediate-duty and heavy-duty main tees for Seismic Design Categories C, D, E and F.

ONN ACM7 Seismic Clip spaces. The slot in the clip measures 1.812 to allow 3/4 movement in both directions, accommodate the fastener dimension and allow for slight off center installation of the fastener without impeding performance. The clip adjusts easily to accommodate tees that intersect the wall at an angle other than 90 degrees. The ACM7 clip sustained tremendous forces in tension and compression testing, far greater than would be experienced in a seismic event. ACM7 Seismic Clip Performance Test Failure Criteria Result Tension Test Tee fallout/ separation from clip. > 500 load (lbs.). Test stopped at this load, with clip still attached to tee; failure load will exceed this level. Compression Test Tee fallout/ separation from clip. > 300 load (lbs.). Test stopped at this load, with clip still attached to tee maintaining 3/4 clearance from wall; failure load will exceed this level.
