About this detail

The cold-formed steel stud wall connects to the structure above via a compatible slip track anchored with quarter-inch powder-driven fasteners spaced at two feet on center with a two-inch end distance. The vertical studs remain free to move vertically within the slip track and are secured with screws at each stud per sheet detail two on sheet A-602. Wall bridging is detailed per sheet detail three on sheet A-602, with number ten screws installed on each side of the wall. The base track connects to the concrete substrate below using five-thirty-second-inch diameter powder-driven fasteners at twenty-four inches on center, maintaining a two-inch end distance and a one-and-a-quarter-inch minimum penetration.
