This non-bearing metal stud wall framing assembly utilizes boxed double steel studs at every jamb location and an infill stud above the opening. The double metal stud header is constructed with header tracks notched to fit the metal jamb studs. The bottom track is anchored to the floor using three-eighths inch diameter expansion anchors at all jamb locations, with typical screw attachment locations securing the tracks and studs together. A note specifies that this detail is for non-bearing stud walls only, requiring bearing walls to be designed and approved by a professional engineer or architect.
