Vibration isolators shall be free standing, unhoused, laterally stabile steel springs. Springs shall have lateral stiffness greater than 1.0 times the rated vertical stiffness and shall be designed to provide a minimum 50% overload capacity.
Springs shall be welded to top and bottom steel load plates. The upper load plate shall be provided with a steel leveling bolt lock nut and washer for attachment to the supported equipment. The lower load plate shall have a non-skid noise isolation pad bonded to the bottom and shall have provisions for bolting the isolator to the supporting structure.
Springs shall be selected to provide operating static deflections shown on the Vibration Isolation Schedule or as otherwise indicated on the project documents. Springs shall be color coded or otherwise identified to indicate load capacity.
Spring isolation mounts for floor-mounted equipment shall be Model FDS-B, as manufactured by Kinetics Noise Control, Inc.
