About this detail

Cold-formed steel framing details incorporate track splices, framing penetrations, door knob blocking, and top track attachments. Track splices utilize a C-channel track splice plate secured with three number ten screws on each side, while studs connect to channels using two number ten screws typically. Framing penetrations are reinforced by trimming and bending channel tabs in the field and connecting them to studs with number ten screws. The interior door jamb detail incorporates double twenty-gauge metal studs, an eighteen-gauge Rediframe door frame, aluminum casing, gypsum board, and a two-by-six flat door knob blocking positioned thirty-six inches to the door at forty-three and one-half inches height. The angled head brace detail features a deep leg track anchored with four powder-actuated fasteners and a clip flange formed into a shoe attached with three screws on each flange at a forty-five degree angle.
