Kinetics Model AF Hangers are recommended for use in acoustically isolated ceiling systems.
Model AF Hangers are available in two (2) load ranges:
- Model AF-100 load range, 20-100 pounds (9-46 kg), used for lightweight acoustical tile and gypsum board 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 100% overload without failure. 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 audio 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 to use. Special accessories are available to eliminate bottom tie wire connections.
