Features:
- Permanently resilient fiberglass isolator
pad
- Constant natural frequency in wide load range
- Load capacities 20 lbs. to 200 lbs. (9 kg
to 91 kg)
- 500% overload fail-safe assembly
Description:
Model AF fiberglass hangers are specifically designed as a noise stop isolator
for use in wire-supported, suspended ceiling systems. These hangers are a
combination of uniquely permanent, inorganic Kinetics Fiberglass and a zinc-plated
metal assembly. This creates a combination that is essentially non-corrosive
in all natural environments. The incorporation of galvanized No. 12 gauge
wire adapts the Model AF hanger directly into the standard tie wire system
used by ceiling installation trades.
Model AF hangers are available in two (2) load
ranges:
Model AF-100 load range, 20-100 pounds (9-46
kg), used for light-weight acoustical tile ceilings.
Model AF-200 load range, 50-200 pounds (23-91
kg), used for heavy gypsum board and plaster ceilings.
Both Model AF hangers will carry a 500% overload without failure.
Application:
Kinetics Model AF hangers are recommended for use in acoustically isolated
ceiling systems.
Acoustical tile ceilings can be supported by Model AF-100 hangers to stop
high frequency "buzzing" of the ceiling grid work, caused by equipment
such as transformers, chillers, and other mechanical equipment sources in
the audible frequency range.
Heavy ceilings of gypsum board and plaster can be supported by Model AF-200
hangers to increase the sound transmission loss.
Standard Model AF hangers are shipped fully assembled and ready for use.
Specification:
Hangers shall consist of a fiberglass isolator encased in an anti short circuit
reinforced steel bracket which will accommodate up to #8 suspension wire or
a 1/4" (6.35 mm) bolt or screw.
The fiberglass isolator shall be 1" (25 mm) thick, precompressed, molded
fiber glass composed of fiberglass produced by a multiple flame attenuation
process which generates nominal fiber diameters not to exceed 0.00022"
(5.6 microns) and shall have been stabilized by precompression ten (10) times
to three (3) times the maximum rated load of the material used.
The hanger assembly shall be zinc-plated reinforced steel and shall carry
a five (5) times maximum rated load overload without failure. Hangers shall
be Model AF as manufactured by Kinetics Noise Control, Inc
