Cold-formed metal framing connections occur at a wall intersection and ceiling level, including a 4-inch by 18-gauge deep leg track and 6-inch by 18-gauge metal studs. The wall assembly incorporates 1-1/2-inch by 20-gauge straps fastened at 4 feet on center, with number 6 sheet metal screws spaced at 3 inches on center typically. Number 6 sheet metal screws at 12 inches on center attach the tracks in a staggered pattern. Bracing components connect with three number 8 sheet metal screws to the track. Additional connection is made using five number 8 gauge screws from stud to track, with concrete wall applications requiring a minimum of two shot pins.
