Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ARMSTRONG from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between Armstrong Calla ceiling tiles and Prelude suspension framing?
Calla ceiling tiles are mineral fiber panels designed for acoustic control and cleanability, available in square lay-in or square tegular edges for specific grid sizes. Prelude suspension framing includes main beams, cross tees, and wall molding made of galvanized steel, which form the grid that supports the tiles. Calla tiles are the finished surface, while Prelude components are the structural support. Both are part of Armstrong's ceiling systems and are often specified together for commercial and institutional spaces.
What are the specifications of the Armstrong E23.2 inline circulator pump?
The Armstrong E23.2 series inline circulator pump is a cast iron, flange-connected unit rated for 84 gpm at 36 ft max head. It operates on 120V AC single-phase power and has a 2/5 hp motor. This pump is designed for potable water systems and general hydronic circulation. It does not include a volute. The pump is part of Armstrong's fluid technology line and is commonly used in heating and cooling loops where a compact, inline configuration is required.
Are Armstrong sealed system tiles suitable for isolation rooms?
Yes, Armstrong sealed system tiles such as the 2820A and 1353N are specifically designed for isolation rooms. These mineral fiber tiles feature a sealed surface that supports cleanability and acoustic control. They are available in 24 in x 24 in square lay-in or square tegular formats, compatible with 15/16 in or 9/16 in grid systems. Some models offer mold resistance and high light reflectance (83% or more). They are supplied in 10-packs and are intended for environments where infection control and durability are priorities.
What components are included in the Armstrong seal kit for inline circulator pumps?
The Armstrong seal kit, manufacturer part number 8975002-374K, includes a seal, a rubber gasket, and a bearing assembly. It also contains capscrew, seal cover, and washer. This kit is used to replace worn seals in inline circulating pumps to prevent leaks and maintain pump efficiency. It is a direct replacement part for specific Armstrong pump models. The kit is supplied as a single unit and is intended for maintenance or repair of potable water and hydronic circulation systems.
What grid sizes are available for Armstrong Calla ceiling tiles?
Armstrong Calla ceiling tiles are available for both 15/16 in and 9/16 in grid systems. The 2820A model is a square lay-in tile for 15/16 in grid, while the 1353N is a square tegular tile for 9/16 in grid. The 2822AN is a square tegular tile for 15/16 in grid. Edge details and grid compatibility are specified per model. These tiles are supplied in 10-packs and are 24 in x 24 in. The choice of grid size depends on the suspension system and desired aesthetic.
What is the length and height of Armstrong Prelude main beams and cross tees?
Armstrong Prelude main beams, such as part number 7300XRWH, are 144 in long and 1 11/16 in high, supplied in 20-packs. Cross tees, such as part number ML7323, are 24 in long and 1 3/8 in high. Wall molding, such as 7800RWH, is 144 in long and 7/8 in high. All are made of galvanized steel and are white. These dimensions are standard for commercial ceiling grid systems and must match the tile edge and grid size for proper installation.
