About this detail

Cold-formed steel stud wall blocking features a depth and thickness matching the wall stud up to 18 gauge maximum. Option one utilizes track flanges cut and bent to form vertical tabs, fastened with two number 10 sheet metal screws into the stud flange on each side at each end. Option two uses a clip angle with a thickness matching the blocking and a length equal to the stud width minus one half inch, fastened with two number 10 sheet metal screws into the stud web and into the blocking on each end. The blocking is shaped with a four inch minimum dimension to clear the stud lip.
