PAC International RSIC-V
The PAC International RSIC-V is a resilient furring-channel mount that clamps to 7/8" hat channel to keep isolation intact at blocking, fixtures, trims, and service penetrations. It extends the acoustic break of a resilient clip system into every accessory the finished wall needs.
- Isolation at Accessory Points: Preserves decoupling where blocking, trim, and service penetrations would otherwise re-couple the assembly to the frame.
- Channel-Clamp Attachment: Clamps directly to 7/8" hat channel without piercing the resilient assembly — installs without breaking the acoustic plane.
- Low-Profile Body: Sits flush against the channel so drywall goes on straight and reveal lines stay consistent.
- Zinc-Plated Steel: Formed steel body with plated finish resists corrosion in bath, kitchen, and mechanical-room applications.

Adds MLV over Good for a denser limp-mass layer.
Estimated STC — Planning use only
This value is an approximate assembly projection, not a project-specific assessment, certified laboratory test result or performance guarantee. Actual performance varies with the complete assembly, installation, flanking paths, penetrations and site conditions.
Estimates follow the manufacturer's standard clip and hat-channel layout for walls and ceilings. A 10% coverage buffer is recommended to cover cuts and re-work.

- STC 30-39: Loud speech clearly audible next room.
- STC 40-49: Loud speech muffled — normal residential wall.
- STC 50-59: Loud speech barely audible; suitable for offices & multi-family.
- STC 60+: Approaches studio-grade isolation.
