Where do I place the vibration isolators on a custom curb?

3rd YearRoof Work & CurbsYELLOW · Check First

Spring or neoprene vibration isolators are installed directly along the top shelf perimeter track of the roof curb framing, sandwiched between the metal curb rail and the structural bottom base rails of the RTU chassis. This breaks the physical link, keeping mechanical motor hum from traveling down the building structure.

Field checklist

Ask Foreman

Hey boss, I’m checking roof work & curbs: Where do I place the vibration isolators on a custom curb? I found the likely issue and want to verify the next step before I lock it in. Do you want me to adjust it now or check the drawing/detail first?
