About this detail

Cold-formed metal stud header construction for various opening width ranges uses double built-up metal studs and tracks. The assembly incorporates 362T150-54 metal tracks and double built-up 600S162-54 or 362S162-54 metal studs, complemented by horizontal metal studs and cripple metal studs as required by the opening size. Connections between tracks and stud flanges are secured with a minimum of two number eight sheet metal screws at twenty-four inches on center, applying one screw per flange typically. Partition types dictate the specific metal track and stud widths.
