Application
Low-profile isolated ceiling construction using a resilient hanger assembly
to support one or more layers of gypsum board is desired by architects
wanting to minimize ceiling drop in an occupied space. The Model KSCH
Super-Compact Ceiling Hanger helps the designer achieve the goal of resiliently
decoupling the ceiling using less than three and one half (3-1/2) inches
of space. Model KSCH is designed to allow use of a single piece of 1-1/2"
x 1/2" cold-rolled channel to support the drywall furring channel to which
the gypsum board is attached. Renovation and new-build design ceiling
height concerns are addressed easily with Model KSCH.
Benefits
- Low 3-1/2-inch airspace using 7/8-inch drywall furring
channel at 1/2-inch nominal spring deflection
- Maximum natural frequency of 5.5 Hz under lightest
typical load conditions
- Requires only one (1) piece of 1-1/2-inch x 1/2-inch
cold-rolled channel
- Extended mounting bracket allows easy attachment to
non-isolated deck
- Centering notches for flawless alignment
- Minimal vertical/lateral movement during a seismic
event
- STC 72, IIC 51 with two (2) layers gypsum board suspended
under a 6-inch concrete slab (75 psf) with 1-1/2-inch fiberglass batt
in airspace - 1/2-inch deflection springs
