Acoustical Design Review— US Probation Court Office <br />Acoustic Wall Assembly Installation Notes: <br />The outer layer of GWB shall be sealed around the perimeter joint with a non - <br />hardening acoustical sealant per ASTM C919: Standard Practice of Use of Sealants <br />in Acoustical Applications. <br />Retain a 1 /4" gap around the perimeter of the GWB to allow for the tip of the <br />caulking gun into the gap. This is essential to properly seal the joint with a <br />continuous bead of sealant. Use shims if necessary to maintain consistent <br />gap. <br />- Clean the joint of any dust and debris before applying sealant. <br />Do not apply sealant before installing GWB. The joint must be sealed after <br />to allow the sealant to conform to the gap. <br />Apply the sealant clear back to the track and make sure it fills up to the <br />underside of the GWB. <br />After sealant has dried, it should be closely checked to make sure it has not <br />slumped or separated causing air leaks. Sealant may need to be reapplied. <br />For STC 45 or higher walls, apply Hilty Firestop Putty Pads CP 617 to the backs of all <br />receptacles to seal holes from wiring and such. <br />- Be sure to install the Putty Pad so that it covers the entire box up to the <br />backside of the GWB and so that all wire penetrations are sealed off. <br />- Overlap the putty pads on the surrounding areas for a better and more <br />permanent seal, as shown in the figure below. <br />- Clean the dust and debris off of receptacle boxes before installing the putty <br />pad to allow for proper adhesion. <br />._ .__...... __ _...._.............. _.._._.__._ _ .._.._.___......... _.... _._..... _.._...... _.... _......-._.......... ..._._........ ___..._..........
