About this detail

Suspended gypsum board ceiling assemblies hung from an overhead structural metal deck. The left assembly shows a ceiling penetration with twelve-gauge by one-inch wide ceiling clips secured to the deck using 0.145-inch diameter powder-actuated fasteners with a one-and-one-quarter-inch embedment, supporting twelve-gauge wire hangers spaced at a maximum of four feet on center in each direction. Metal runner tracks and framing components including 150U050-54 and 087F125-43 sections support five-eighths-inch gypsum board ceilings with saddle ties and sheet metal screws. The right assembly features a ceiling light cove framed with minimum two-and-one-half-inch thirty-three mil metal studs at sixteen inches on center, braced diagonally at forty-eight inches on center, and anchored to the deck with thirty-three mil runner tracks fastened using three-eighths-inch diameter expansion anchors at forty-eight inches on center.
