Double-Layer Partitions Double-layer 1/2 SHEETROCK Brand Gypsum Panels, FIRECODE C Core, attached to 2-1/2 min. studs spaced 24 o.c. provide a 2-hour fire rating plus sound control suitable for party walls. SHEETROCK Brand Gypsum Panels, ULTRACODE Core, provide a 4-hr. fire rating with double-layer construction when UL Design U419 or U490 is specified. Panels are attached to 2-1/2 steel studs and 2 thick THERMAFIBER SAFB is installed in the cavity. The system has a 56 STC. In addition, two layers of 3/4 ULTRACODE Core panels may be substituted for three layers of 1/2 FIRECODE C Core panels...

Limitations 1 Exposure to excessive or continuous moisture and extreme temperatures should be avoided. 2 Maximum frame spacing is 24 o.c.; exception: when single-layer ceiling panels are applied with long edges parallel to joists and used as a base for spray-applied texture finish, max. frame spacing is 16 o.c. 3 In ceiling design, certain precautions concerning construction, insulation, and ventilation are necessary for good performance (see Good Design Practices, page 39). 4 Variable wind pressure can cause a high-rise building to drift or sway. This can result in movement of the nonload-...

United States Gypsum Company SA923 8 Chase Wall Chase walls provide vertical shafts where greater core widths are needed for pipe chase enclosures and other service installations. They consist of a double row of steel studs with gypsum panel cross braces between rows. Double-layer 1/2 SHEETROCK Brand Gypsum Panels are screw-applied on both sides of studs. A 2-hour fire-resistance rating can be obtained when 1/2 SHEETROCK Brand Gypsum Panels, FIRECODE C Core, are used. As an alternative, 2-1/2 steel stud cross braces screw-attached to chase wall studs may be used. When chase wall studs are...

United States Gypsum Company SA923 9 Resilient Channel Partitions Resilient attachment of gypsum panels to RC-1 Resilient Channels or equivalent provides low-cost, highly efficient assemblies for increased privacy in corridor and party wall applications. The steel channels float the panels away from the studs and provide a spring action that decouples the board from the framing. When combined with THERMAFIBER SAFB in the framing cavity, highly effective sound attenuation is obtained. In these thin, lightweight assemblies, horizontal RC-1 Resilient Channels (or equivalent), 24 o.c., are...

High Performance Sound Control Horizontal RC-1 Resilient Channels (or equivalent) are screw-attached 24 o.c. to the narrow flange side of SJ steel studs which also are spaced 24 o.c. SHEETROCK Brand Gypsum Panels, FIRECODE C Core, are screw-attached directly to the studs on one side and to the resilient channels on the other side. THERMAFIBER SAFB are friction-fitted in the partition cavity. The SAFB are pressed against the direct-applied gypsum panel, leaving a minimum 1/2 space between the resilient channel and the SAFB. Install resilient channels according to manufacturer’s...
