Direct Fix Furring Channel Sound Isolation Clip
In today’s high-density construction environment—whether apartments, hotels, schools, hospitals, or commercial offices—acoustic performance is no longer optional. It’s expected. The Resilmount® A237R Direct Fix Furring Channel Sound Isolation Clip is engineered to reduce structure-borne vibration and airborne sound transfer in both wall and ceiling assemblies, delivering reliable, tested sound isolation across a wide range of applications
Designed to Solve Noise at the Source
The A237R is a patented acoustic resilient mounting bracket for Studco® 7/8″ and 1-1/2″ furring channels. By decoupling gypsum board from the building structure, the clip interrupts the direct path of vibration transfer—one of the most common causes of unwanted noise transmission between spaces.
Whether you’re working with:
- Wood framing
- Steel framing
- CMU
- Concrete substrates
The A237R is compatible across all major structural systems, making it a versatile solution for both new construction and retrofit applications.
The Technology Behind the Performance
At the heart of the A237R is Resilmount’s unique patented thermoplastic rubber isolation element, engineered with a column and sound cell design. Unlike standard rubber moldings, this multi-cell thermoplastic compound:
- Absorbs and breaks up airborne sound at the transfer point
- Minimizes surface contact with the structure
- Reduces acoustic short-circuiting
- Maintains clip integrity during installation
The low-profile 3/8″ isolation element delivers high performance without adding unnecessary build-up to the wall or ceiling assembly.
Proven Performance with Third-Party Testing
Acoustic performance is only as good as its verification. The A237R is:
- UL classified in 118 wall and ceiling assemblies
- Tested to ASTM standards
- Supported by third-party acoustic testing including Riverbank, NGC, and WEAL
- Manufactured under an ISO 9001 Quality Management System
From 1-hour to 2-hour fire-rated assemblies, the A237R has demonstrated STC ratings reaching into the 60+ range depending on the system configuration (see tested assemblies in the Resilmount technical manual).
For designers and specifiers, this means confidence in meeting building code requirements and acoustic targets.
Built for Efficient Installation
Performance should never slow down the jobsite.
The A237R features:
- A 1/4″ diameter hole for a variety of fasteners
- Minimum #8 screw or masonry sleeve anchor installation
- Maximum clip spacing of 48″
- Furring channel spacing up to 24″
- Acoustical design load of 37 lbs
The clip is engineered for single-screw fastening in many applications, helping reduce installation time compared to competitive designs.
Less time installing means lower labor costs—without compromising performance.
