Installation
1 Clip Fix Dry Joint Board System
A quick and user-friendly dry joint board system
featuring ROCKWOOL®’s friction-fit clip system.

The spring action of the clip creates a vice-like grip

on the steelwork flange. The CONLIT® 150 board is
impaled on the clip pins and held in place with
sprung steel non-return washers. Supplementary
pigtail screws fixed through the side boards into the
soffit boards complete this system.

The clips are located at maximum 600mm centres to 1 Clip fix dry joint board system 1 Clip and stud welded pin dry joint

Combined Clip and Stud Welded Pin Dry Joint

System
Where it is not possible to clip fix, eg beneath
concrete soffits, stud welded pins (at the same fixing
centres) are used in lieu of the clip fixing.

2 Glued Noggings Dry Joint Board System

An easy-to-apply and fast dry joint board system
where noggings are glued into position between the
steelwork flanges using CONLIT® Glue. Noggings
are fixed at 900mm nominal centres. The CONLIT®
150 boards are then retained by means of pigtail
screws, fixed at 120mm nominal centres to the
noggings and 200mm centres for board-to-board
joints.

For beam depths over 500mm a Tee-nogging is

used to provide the support for the cover boards. 2 Glued noggings dry joint board system 2 Alternative Tee-nogging arrangement
(up to 2 hours fire protection) (up to 2 hours fire protection)
3 Stud Welded Pin Dry Joint Board System
A dry joint system employing steel welded pins.

The steelwork is cleaned in the area where the

welded pin is to be positioned. The pin is then
welded to the steel flange.

The CONLIT® 150 board is then impaled on the stud

welded pins and held in place with spring steel
non-return washers.

The steel welded pins are fixed at 800mm nominal

centres. The CONLIT® 150 board-to-board joints
are then secured by means of pigtail screws fixed at
nominal 150mm centres.

Glue-fixed Noggings and Board-to-Board protection)
Glued Joints
CONLIT® 150 noggings are glued between the
steelwork flanges, and the CONLIT® 150 side
boards are glued to the noggings. The CONLIT® 150
side boards are also glued at all vertical joints and
horizontal board-to-board joints.

Round head nails (length = 2 × thickness of board)

are fixed through the side boards into the noggings
and soffit boards to consolidate the glued joints.

The noggings are fixed at 900mm nominal centres,

and the nails at 450mm nominal centres.
