About this detail

A gypsum board ceiling soffit framing assembly ties back to the overhead structure. A suspended ceiling main runner hangs via wire spaced a maximum of six inches from the vertical framing. The soffit consists of minimum 2-1/2-inch by 20-gauge vertical metal studs spaced at 16 inches on center, continuing up to the structure with diagonal bracing. A continuous 1-inch by 2-inch by 24-gauge angle ties the framing together, secured with number 10 sheet metal screws at each main runner and two rows of number 10 sheet metal screws at 12 inches on center maximum. One layer of gypsum board finishes the exterior, protected with a 16-gauge corner bead. Unpunched track and stud headers are located at the bottom of the cripple partition, with one number 10 sheet metal screw at each stud.
