Minerallac 59248J – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is an acoustical eye lag screw used for on a ceiling grid job?
It's the anchor point for tie wire on a suspended ceiling. The Minerallac 59248J has an acoustical eye head, so once the 3 inch lag is driven into wood framing or joists above the ceiling, you loop or twist your hanger wire through the eye to carry the main runners. No separate hook or clip needed.
2) Can I use the Minerallac 59248J eye lag in concrete or steel deck?
No. This is a wood lag, threaded for wood substrates, so it belongs in joists, blocking, or wood framing. For a concrete deck you need a drive pin or screw anchor style ceiling hanger, and for bar joist or steel you want a beam clamp or C-clip. Putting a wood lag in concrete gives you no holding value.
3) What diameter and length is the Minerallac 59248J eye lag, and how deep does it bite into wood?
It's a 1/4 inch diameter by 3 inch lag. Drive it through the eye's shoulder and, minus whatever you pass through, most of that 3 inches lands in the wood, which is why it holds tie wire loads overhead. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in dense or dry framing keeps the shank from splitting the member.
4) Will zinc plated eye lags hold up in a damp or unconditioned ceiling space?
The steel body is zinc plated, which gives ordinary corrosion resistance for interior work, including plenums and unconditioned attics that stay dry. For a pool room, coastal exposure, or anywhere with constant moisture or chemicals, zinc plating is not the right coating and you should look at a stainless or hot dip galvanized hanger instead.
5) Is a 1/4 x 3 eye lag the right pick over a shorter eye lag for ceiling hangers?
The 3 inch length is there so you can shoot through drywall or ceiling board and still get solid thread engagement in the wood behind it. If you're lagging straight into exposed joists with nothing in between, a shorter eye lag does the job; where there's a finished ceiling plane or furring in the way, the extra length on the 59248J is what gets you into sound framing.
6) How many eye lags come in a jar of Minerallac 59248J?
They ship 100 to a jar, which is the practical unit for ceiling work since you're setting hanger wires on a grid and burning through them fast. Ordering by the jar keeps one part number on the PO instead of counting loose pieces.
7) Do these eye lags match the silver finish of standard ceiling grid hardware?
The head reads silver, consistent with the zinc plated steel body, so they blend with the galvanized tie wire and grid components typical on an acoustical ceiling. Above a tile they're out of sight anyway, but in an open plenum or exposed-structure ceiling the finish won't stand out against other hangers.
