About this detail

A continuous fourteen gauge by six inch steel backing plate is secured across vertical metal studs with three number ten pan head sheet metal screws per stud. The assembly uses a four inch sixteen gauge deep leg runner track notched tight around the studs as a stiffener, positioned with a maximum one quarter inch clearance to the runner track. The vertical framing consists of four inch minimum sixteen gauge studs extending to the structure above, with paired sixteen gauge studs required for wall heights over twelve feet. The backing plate spans a minimum of two stud bays unless equipment operating weight exceeds four hundred pounds, in which case the plate must span a minimum of three bays. Design load eccentricity from the face of the wall is limited to a maximum of eight inches.
