What Are RSIC-DC04 Clips?
RSIC-DC04 clips share a similar design concept to the RSIC-1 clip with the large black rubber bumper for increased decoupling, but have a 4" inch arm attached. These clips can be used just about anywhere to decouple two framing members from each other and has a load capacity of 36 pounds per clip.
Advantages to the RSIC-DC04 Clip
- Versatile: RSIC-DC04 clips can be used to decouple the top plate and bottom plate from the wall stud. This clip can also decouple electrical outlets, ceiling fans, vent fans, plumbing pipes, and any block connected between two studs in a wall or ceiling.
- Decoupling Without Hat Channel: If you use RSIC-DC04 clips to decouple your wall you can avoid attaching drywall to hat channel. With RSIC-DC04 clips you attach the drywall directly to the wall studs which is more convenient for installing electrical, HVAC, doors, and windows.
Disadvantages to the RSIC-DC04 Clip
- Does Not Perform As Well As Other Clips: RSIC-DC04 clips do not perform as well as any of our standard resilient sound clips. The biggest reason for this is because the RSIC-DC04 clips do not create an air gap so the drywall is directly attached to the wall stud.
- Expensive When Installing In Walls: You will need a minimum of 3 clips per stud and 4 clips if you are framing with 2" x 6" studs. Standard resilient sound clips are only attached to every 4th stud so the 'cost per stud' is considerably less with standard clips. Enough RSIC-DC04 clips for a 12' wide wall would cost around $175 whereas a wall with standard resilient clips would only cost around $80 for the same wall.
How Many RSIC-DC04 Clips Would I Need?
Estimating how many RSIC-DC04 clips you need depends on what you are trying to accomplish with the DC04 clips. Review our Installing tab to review construction diagrams that use DC04 clips.
For a standard wall you will need three RSIC-DC04 clips per stud. Two clips will attach the stud to the bottom plate while placed on each side of the stud and one clip will attach the stud to the top plate.
For a heavier wall, 2" x 6" wall or a wall that will have multiple layers of drywall attached to it, you should use four RSIC-DC04 clips per stud. Two clips will attach the stud to the bottom plate while placed on each side of the stud and two clips will attach the stud to the top plate while placed on each side of the stud.
Other installations for DC04 clips include decoupling electrical outlets, vent fans, recessed lighting, plumbing pipes, attaching a grid ceiling, and ceiling fans.
