The Resilmount A237 isolation clip is a budget friendly isolation clip that mechanically separates walls from a building's frame. A237 clips are ideal for projects where sound isolation is not critical, but physical separation of the wall from the studs is necessary. When used with standard furring channel, A237 clips can be used to extend the space between the walls to allow for running pipes or electrical conduit between the walls.

Using Resilmount A237 clips limits the connection points between the drywall and the building's frame, thereby reducing the amount of sound transferred from one room to another. A237 clips provide a low cost option for basic sound reduction projects.

Resilmount A237 Installation Guide

Wall Installation Guide
NOTES
• Use 25 gauge furring channel on walls.
• Furring channel is installed across studs horizontally.
• Use a 4 ft. level to ensure furring channel is installed level.
• Clips are spaced no further than 48 inches apart horizontally
• Hat channel must not be spaced more than 24 inches vertically
• Bottom clips must be less than 3 inches from the floor
• Top clips must be less than 6 inches from the ceiling
• Make sure to leave a 1/4 in. gap between wall and ceiling and wall and floor to fill with acoustical caulk.

STEP 2 - INSTALL THE FURRING CHANNEL
Snap furring channel into clips.
Some walls will require you to overlap hat channel. It is best to overlap 6 inches of hat channel between two clips. Secure the hat channel with two 7/16” framing screws or 18 gauge tie-wire.

STEP 4 - SEAL THE PERIMETER
Use acoustical sealant to fill the 1/4" gaps around the perimeter, and all gaps around electrical boxes, windows, and doors.

Ceiling Installation Guide
NOTES
• Use 25 gauge furring channel on ceilings.
• Furring channel is installed perpendicular to floor joists.
• Clips are spaced no further than 48 inches apart (every 3rd joist if joist are spaced 16 inches OC).
• Furring channel must not be spaced more than 24 inches apart.
• First and last row of clips are less than 6 inches from the wall.
• Make sure to leave a 1/4 in. gap around the perimeter of ceiling to fill with acoustical caulk.

STEP 1 - INSTALL THE CLIPS
Measure for placement of Resilmount A237 isolation clips using layout guidelines listed in the Installation Notes above.
Mark locations and place clips against the joists. Install screw through the hole in the center of the clip.

STEP 2 - INSTALL THE FURRING CHANNEL
Snap furring channel into clips.
Some ceilings will require you to overlap hat channel. You can overlap 6 inches of hat channel between two clips. Secure the hat channel with two 7/16” framing screws or 18 gauge tie-wire.

STEP 4 - SEAL THE PERIMETER
Use acoustical sealant to fill  the gaps around the perimeter of the ceiling, and around any lighting fixtures and vents.
