About this detail

Cold-formed metal studs terminate beneath a concrete-filled metal deck with a minimum half-inch gap. The top track features a forty-three-mils deep leg and is specified one gauge thicker than the studs. Number ten sheet metal screws connect the track to the metal stud on each side. At locations between flutes, sixteen-gauge plates measuring three inches by one foot three inches are spaced at sixteen inches on center, secured to the deck with two number twelve sheet metal screws per plate and one-and-a-half-inch minimum Hilti X-U power-driven fasteners with one-and-a-quarter-inch minimum embedment. At locations on flutes, Hilti X-U power-driven fasteners are spaced at sixteen inches on center with one-and-a-half-inch minimum embedment, and metal decks without concrete utilize number twelve sheet metal screws at twelve inches on center.
