DONN® DX®/DXL™ Acoustical Suspension System
-
Maximum economy, simplicity, and access.This ceiling suspension system is an exposed-grid system that has a hot-dipped galvanized steel body. It can be used for both general and fire-rated applications. Many of the DX/DXL components are available with High Recycled Content (HRC).
As the most widely used acoustical suspension system available, the DONN DX/DXL Ceiling Suspension System offers appropriate load-carrying capacities for acoustical panels, light fixtures and air distribution elements. Its components can be used in both general and fire-rated applications; its galvanized steel body inhibits rust.
Many of the components are available with High Recycled Content (HRC). HRC Suspension Components are classified as containing over fifty percent total recycled content. Total recycled content is based on product composition of post-consumer and pre-consumer (post-industrial) recycled content per FTC guidelines.
Patented Quick-Release™ cross tees are easy to remove without tools, decreasing renovation costs. Override-ends resist twisting and give a professionally finished look without exposed steel edges.
Locking tee ends provide pull-out tension values in excess of 200 lbs. Main tees are punched with cross tee holes and hanger wire holes at 6" o.c. with convenience holes at 2" o.c., providing maximum installation flexibility. Note: The DONN DX/DXL Ceiling Suspension System includes a DX422 cross tee that is not fire-rated. Using it results in a system that is not fire-rated.
The system features more than 80 UL designs (up to 3 hours), and it meets or exceeds all national code requirements, including seismic. An extensive color selection coordinates with USG ceiling panels.
Lifetime limited warranty when used with USG ceiling panels.
