About this detail

A six-inch wide, 16-gauge metal strap backing spans a minimum of three cold-formed steel studs to support wall-mounted accessories up to fifty pounds. The backing is fastened to each 3-5/8 inch, 20-gauge metal stud using three flat head sheet metal screws. Double studs are installed at wall openings for added structural rigidity. Accessory attachment requires #10 by 1-1/2 inch Phillips pan head sheet metal screws. Length, height, quantities, and location of the backing strap must be verified with the accessory manufacturer.
