About this detail

Cold-formed steel wall studs engage a deep leg deflection track at the structural head, maintaining a specified deflection gap. Horizontal wall stud bridging is installed with continuous 2-inch by 54-mil flat straps on each side, secured with number 10 screws at each stud flange. A track block piece matching the wall stud size is clipped, flanged, and bent for installation at 8 feet on center. Fasteners through sheathing must be located 1 inch below the track, leaving the steel studs unattached to the top track.
