 RC Assurance™ is a clip designed for resilient channels. The product acts as an impenetrable washer that puts extra space between the channel and the joist. The snap on clip works with any resilient channel but is specifically designed for use with RC Deluxe from Dietrich. Developed a number of decades ago, resilient channels are a staple in the multi-family industry. There are some issues with Resilient Channel installation. The typical design and UL assembly call for a fastener of 1.0”. The typical installation utilizes a 1.25” or 1.5” fastener, mostly to aid in the “GRAB” of the screw to the channel. This minor modification assures that 15% of the connections will be compromised and that the performance of the system will short circuit the low frequency transmission effectiveness of the system. Now that lab tested 52 becomes a field 42. The resilient channel needs another 0.375” to assure that connections are limited between the gypsum board and the joist assembly. RC ASSURANCE provides that space.
