Suspended ceiling metal clip

Not quite sure what you mean by "clip" - are you looking for one that allows you to fasten & unfasten the load easily?

I'm not a mech engineer, so don't have alot of industry knowledge here, but if all else fails, try boating supplies - boats (esp yachts) use a wide range of high tensile quick release clips suitable for use with steel lanyards, etc....you could also try suppliers of mountain climbing equipment.

Try looking up "scissor clip" made by "minerallic" #scx-1 . These clips are generally used in studio lighting and supplied by Mathews Studio Equipment Inc.

I have one of these clips, but it is not load rated, regards :-) Gary Misseghers

Has it got to look pretty? If not, get a load rated shackel.

I'm not clear if you're hanging items from the underside of a roof purlin, or from the side of a wall purlin. However, we use plenty of speciality screws to fasten items to purlins from the underside. One such screw has a hex exterior about halfway down so a screw gun can install it in the purlin. It has a threaded hole drilled at right angles to the main axis for bolts, #12 wire, etc.

Try a hammer on Caddy clip manufactured by Erico www.erico.com. I am not sure of load ratings but they have different models. They are impossible to remove though.

Thanks everyone. I found one. It is a Caddy fastener. It was ultimately called a bracket.
