About this detail

Head and jamb conditions for an interior hollow metal window frame set within a stud wall. The head condition features a built-up box header packed with batt insulation, flanked by gypsum board and secured with a hollow metal frame incorporating a 2-inch profile and a removable stop holding 1/4-inch glazing. Sealant is applied around the entire frame on both the corridor and room sides. The jamb condition utilizes a double stud framing condition packed with insulation, anchoring the hollow metal frame with 14-gauge Z-clips spaced a maximum of 32 inches on center and within 18 inches of the top and bottom. Each Z-clip is welded to the frame and attached to the studs with two #10 sheet metal screws, supplemented by a floor anchor at each jamb.
