AlphaResilient Isolation Clips Installation

• Spacing maximum 48" on center
• Splice Hat Track with 6" overlap
• Secure with screws
• Maximum allowable dead load 36 lbs. per ARSIC-1 clip

• 25 gauge (.0188" thickness)
• Hemmed edge detail on all 25 gauge
• Optional: 22 gauge (0.027 inch thickness) or 20 gauge (0.033 inch thickness)
• Depth 7/8" or 1 1/2"
• Width Top 2 3/8" wide
• Bottom 1 1/4" wide

• ARSIC-1 to wood 2 1/4" (57mm) minimum length type "W" screw
• ARSIC-1 to steel 1 5/8" (41mm) minimum length type "S" screw
• DO NOT fasten ARSIC-1 to framing members with nails. Use only approved screws

WALLS: One and Two layers of 5/8" Gypsum:

• Resilient Sound Isolation Clip (RSIC-1) shall be 48 inches (1219 mm) on center maximum. (Horizontally).
• Fasten the RSIC-1 to the structure members. Ensure the internal metal Ferrell is tight to the framing member.
• Locate the first row of RSIC-1 clips within 2 inches (50mm) from the floor, and within 6 inches (150mm) from the Ceiling.
• Snap in the Hat Track into the RSIC-1 clip at right angles (perpendicular) to the framing members.

• RSIC-1 shall be a minimum of 48 inches (1219mm) on center (Horizontally).
• Fasten the RSIC-1 to the structural members. Ensure the internal metal Ferrell is tight to the framing member.
• Locate the first row of RSIC-1 clips within 8 inches (200 mm) of the wall at each end of a rum.
• Drywall Furring Channels (Hat Track) shall be a maximum of 24 inches (610 mm) on center (Vertically).
• For enhanced acoustical performance, increase the number of RSIC-1 isolators.
• Snap the Hat Track into the RSIC-1 clip at right angles (perpendicular) to the framing members.

• RSIC-1, Hat Track and Gypsum board shall not carry heavy loads such as cabinets or bookshelves.
• RSIC-1 is typically only required on one side of an assembly.
• Hat Track with 6 inch over lap in mid span, secure with wire tie in fire resistive assemblies, or with screws in non fire resistive assemblies.
• Seal all potential air leaks with non hardening Acoustical caulking to achieve best Field Sound Transmission Class (FSTC) and Field Impact Isolation Class (FIC) ratings.

FIRE TEST INFORMATION:

• RSIC-1 are not to be arbitrarily added to fire related assemblies.
• Check UL Fire Resistant Directory File #R16638
