Application
Secured to concrete, metal deck, or structural framing, Muta Hanger
incorporates a one inch (1") rated deflection spring in series with a
neoprene element to resiliently support one or more layers of gypsum board.
Attachment to the upper eyebolt on the isolator is made via wire suspended
from the deck above. Wire is tied on the bottom eyebolt and looped around
a piece of 1-1/2" x 1/2" 16-gage steel carrying channel. Drywall furring
channel is then attached to the carrying channel. Drywall ceiling grid
is another common installation. Gypsum board is connected using industry
standard installation techniques. Incorporate Muta Hanger into any isolated
ceiling design where one inch (1") rated spring deflection is desired,
and conditions require the flexibility of using wire.
Benefits
- Maximum natural frequency of 4.4 Hz under lightest
typical load conditions.
- Contractor friendly wire-tying feature, convenient
for use where wire-tying is the only option.
- Neoprene element improves performance against low-frequency
noise.
- Actual installed load can vary between 75% and 150%
of rated load without significant impact to ceiling performance.
