This detail outlines the spacing and geometrical requirements for field-punched openings in cold-formed steel framing. The punchouts maintain a minimum radius of one-quarter inch at the corners. Openings are spaced at a maximum of two feet on center vertically along the stud web. Individual punchout dimensions are bounded by a maximum height of four inches. This configuration applies to single stud members to accommodate services while preserving structural integrity.
