About this detail

A non-rated metal stud partition head is anchored to a concrete fill over metal deck assembly, detailed both parallel and perpendicular to the deck flutes. The floor assembly consists of concrete fill over a metal deck, with sprayed-on acoustical insulation applied to the full depth of the deck flutes. Metal studs are friction-fitted into a top runner track, with gypsum board attached to the studs only and terminating a minimum of 1/2 inch below the runner track to allow for deflection. Where parallel or perpendicular, 2-inch wide by 18-gauge metal straps spaced at 24 inches on center span a minimum of two metal deck flutes and are secured with one 1/8-inch powder-driven fastener on each side with a 1-1/4 inch minimum embedment. The runner track is secured with number 8 self-tapping sheet metal screws at 24 inches on center, and acoustic insulation is installed in the stud cavity and deck flutes as scheduled by partition type.
