PLITEQ GenieClip RST Resilient Sound Isolation Clip for Walls and Ceilings, Rubber and Galvanized Steel
Regular price $450.00The Pliteq GenieClip RST is a resilient sound isolation clip that decouples drywall from wall and ceiling structures to reduce airborne, low-frequency and footfall impact noise. Each clip is a one-piece molded rubber and galvanized steel body with a single fastening hole; clips are packed 100 per carton and require only one framing screw per clip.
Key Features
- Decouples drywall: Isolates walls and ceilings from the structure for maximum sound isolation and vibration control.
- Low-frequency performance: Engineered for full-frequency isolation including low-frequency noise, outperforming other clips at 80 Hz and 100 Hz.
- Single-screw install: Requires only one 2-1/2 in. framing screw to attach to wood or metal studs, joists or concrete assemblies.
- No short circuiting: The one-piece design eliminates the risk of short circuiting that reduces sound insulation performance.
- Tested assemblies: Backed by more than 60 UL-certified assemblies and over 150 independent laboratory and field STC and IIC test reports.
- LEED contribution: Reduces assembly weight and contributes to LEED certified buildings.

Coverage and How Much You Need
Coverage depends on your spacing layout; resilient clips are typically chalk-lined in rows per your acoustical assembly drawing, and one carton of 100 clips outfits a corresponding number of fastening points. Refer to the specific UL or tested assembly for clip spacing.
Fit and Compatibility
Works with drywall on wood or metal studs, floor joists and concrete assemblies, used as an alternative to resilient channel (RC). Screws, furring channel and drywall are sold separately; use a 2-1/2 in. framing screw for wood construction.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included?
GenieClip RST sound isolation clips, packed 100 pieces per carton; each clip is a one-piece rubber and galvanized steel body.
How many clips do I need?
Follow the clip spacing in your chosen acoustical or UL assembly; mark rows by chalk line and count fastening points to size your order of 100-piece cartons.
How is it installed?
Chalk-line each row, fasten each clip with a 2-1/2 in. framing screw for wood construction (also suitable for steel and concrete), then attach furring and drywall.
What makes it better than resilient channel?
It was designed as an RC alternative with a one-piece rubber and steel body that eliminates short-circuiting risk and requires no on-site adjustment.
Is it good for home theaters?
Yes, it is engineered for full-frequency isolation including low-frequency noise, theaters, recording studios and footfall impact control.
Is it code tested?
The clip is UL-rated in more than 60 certified assemblies and supported by over 150 independent STC and IIC laboratory and field test reports.
Product Expert Notes
The GenieClip RST is the pick when an assembly must control low frequencies and impact noise, such as theaters or studios, where basic resilient channel falls short. Keep the isolator load matched to your drywall layers and never bridge the clip to the structure with a fastener, or you will short-circuit the isolation. Pair it with the manufacturer's GenieMat underlayments for full room assemblies. Buy by the 100-piece carton and add 5-10% for cut waste.
Verify fastener type and embedment for your framing or concrete base, and follow your specified UL assembly; improper attachment can compromise both structure and acoustic performance.
