The Simpson Ceiling Support Clip is a pre-bent, 22-gauge zinc galvanized steel clip engineered to create a precise 1" separation between the furring channel and joist in ceiling assemblies. Designed for compatibility with Thermafiber insulation, this ceiling clip supports both acoustic performance and fire protection, making it a practical solution for contractors building assemblies that require a one-hour UL-listed fire rating alongside reliable sound dampening.

Key Features

• Pre-bent and ready for installation - no field bending or prep work is needed, saving labor time and reducing the chance of on-site error.
• Creates a consistent 1" separation between furring channel and joist - provides the precise clearance required to properly seat Thermafiber insulation within the ceiling assembly.
• Compatible with Thermafiber insulation - works in concert with the insulation layer to deliver effective sound dampening throughout the finished ceiling system.
• Supports a one-hour UL-listed fire rating - when used as part of a properly assembled ceiling system, this clip contributes to a tested and rated fire-resistive assembly.
• Attaches furring channel to all joists - broad joist compatibility makes this clip a versatile fit across a wide range of ceiling assembly configurations.
• 22-gauge zinc galvanized steel construction with G90 coating - delivers the corrosion resistance and structural consistency expected in a precision-engineered ceiling support component.

Why This Product

• Dual-purpose performance built in - a single clip supports both a sound barrier and a one-hour UL-listed fire rating, addressing two critical ceiling assembly requirements without additional components.
• Installation-ready design reduces job site steps - the pre-bent profile means crews can go straight to installation without any modification, helping maintain schedule on ceiling assembly work.
• Universal joist compatibility adds flexibility - because the clip attaches the furring channel to all joists, it adapts to varied framing conditions rather than limiting the contractor to specific joist types.
• Simpson engineering with domestic production - backed by the Simpson name and produced in the United States, this ceiling support clip is built to the consistent quality standards that ceiling and framing professionals rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the 1" separation the CSC creates?

The 1" separation between the furring channel and joist is designed to accommodate Thermafiber insulation within the ceiling assembly, which contributes to the clip's sound barrier performance and supports its one-hour UL-listed fire rating.

Does the CSC work with all joists?

Yes. The CSC ceiling support clip is designed to allow the attachment of the furring channel to all joists, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of ceiling assembly configurations.

Is any field bending or prep work required before installing the CSC?

No. The CSC comes pre-bent and ready for installation, eliminating the need for any additional bending or preparation on the job site.

What fire rating does the CSC ceiling support clip carry?

When used as part of a properly assembled ceiling system, the CSC provides an efficient sound barrier and supports a one-hour UL-listed fire rating.
