About this detail

A cold-formed steel framed soffit assembly is constructed with three and five-eighths inch metal studs extending to the deck. The top track is a metal slotted track matched to the wall stud gauge, fastened to the deck with powder-actuated fasteners at composite decks or sheet metal screws at metal decks. Additional structural support includes metal stud bracing spaced at twenty-four inches on center at forty-five degrees where the ceiling to deck height exceeds the width of the soffit. The exterior and exposed surfaces are finished with five-eighths inch Type X gypsum board over metal gypsum corner beads, with scheduled ceiling systems and light fixtures integrated as indicated on the ceiling plans.
