About this detail

A six-inch-wide, sixteen-gauge metal backing plate spans across a minimum of three cold-formed metal studs to support wall-mounted equipment and toilet accessories up to fifty pounds. The backing plate attaches to minimum 362S162-33 or 600S162-33 metal studs using three number ten self-tapping pan head sheet metal screws spaced one inch from the edge and one inch on center at each stud. Double metal studs occur at openings where backing plates are located, with stud depths verified per partition type. Installers must verify the length, mounting height, quantities, and location of the backing plate with the accessory manufacturer, utilizing number twelve by one-and-one-half-inch self-tapping pan head sheet metal screws for final accessory attachment.
