About this detail

The head of the cold-formed metal stud wall interfaces with the structure above through a compatible slip track anchored by one-quarter-inch powder-actuated fasteners spaced at two feet on center with two-inch end distances. The metal studs are left free to move vertically within the slip track, with screws secured at each stud flange through the track. Wall bridging is installed within the stud cavity, and number ten screws are fastened to each side of the wall. The base of the wall is secured with five-thirty-seconds-inch diameter powder-actuated fasteners spaced at twenty-four inches on center with two-inch end distances and a one-and-one-quarter-inch minimum penetration top and bottom.
