About this detail

The head of the cold-formed metal stud partition connects to the structure above using a compressive slip track secured by one-quarter inch powder-driven fasteners spaced at twenty-four inches on center with a two-inch end distance. The vertical studs remain free to move vertically within the slip track, and screws are fastened at each stud web. Mid-height bridging is installed through the studs with screw attachments at each side of the wall. The bottom track anchors to the concrete substrate using five-thirty-seconds-inch diameter powder-driven fasteners spaced at twenty-four inches on center with a two-inch end distance and one-and-one-quarter-inch minimum penetration.
