A non-bearing steel stud wall utilizes a three and five-eighths inch by eighteen gauge diagonal wall brace spaced at eight feet on center, anchored back to the overhead structure. The brace is formed with clip flanges acting as shoes at both ends and secured with three screws on each flange. At the top track intersection, the assembly connects with four screws into the top track, or alternatively utilizes a deep leg track or clip angle. The overhead attachment to the corrugated deck involves four screws into the lowest portion of the deck, ensuring fasteners do not penetrate the roofing, with an alternate option to attach directly to the bottom chords of the joist. Additionally, typical framing penetrations and door knob blocking details illustrate C-channel track connections using two number ten screws typical at stud-to-channel junctions.
