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
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,
