About this detail

Cold-formed metal stud partitions receive a six-inch, sixteen-gauge minimum metal track backing notched around studs and attached with two number ten screws at each end. Sixteen-gauge metal studs are placed at each side of the backing plate typically. Additional blocking is installed as scheduled for upper cabinets, shelves, electric water coolers, toilet room accessories, and gas bottle racks to support maximum vertical loads of one hundred pounds per linear foot.
