About this detail

A non-rated metal stud partition frames into the underside of a structural concrete slab. The metal top runner track features twenty-two and a half inch long legs and is fastened directly to the concrete with a minimum one-eighth inch power-driven fastener at twenty-four inches on center, requiring a one and one-quarter inch minimum embedment. Metal studs are friction-fit into the top runner track with a minimum five-eighth inch gap at the top. Gypsum board is attached to both sides of the metal studs only, terminating a minimum one-half inch below the metal runner track to allow for deflection. Acoustic insulation is placed within the stud cavity where scheduled, and acoustic sealant is applied on both sides at the partition head joint.
