Model KSCH Super Compact Ceiling Hanger

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" × 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.

• Low 3-1/2" airspace using 7/8" drywall furring channel at 1/2" nominal spring deflection
• Maximum natural frequency of 5.5 Hz under lightest typical load conditions
• Requires only one (1) piece of 1-1/2" × 1/2" 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" concrete slab (75 psf) with 1 1/2" fiberglass batt in airspace - 1/2" deflection springs
