About this detail

Exterior cold-formed steel stud head connections occur at both concrete-filled metal deck and bare metal roof deck conditions, utilizing a ten-gauge clip angle or slip track at each stud with one-quarter-inch by one-and-a-half-inch long slotted holes. Fastening is achieved using one-quarter-inch diameter self-drilling screws with three-quarter-inch diameter galvanized metal washers, which are centered in the slots and left slightly loose to accommodate vertical and horizontal movement. Exterior studs are sized per the stud schedule unless otherwise noted, with continuous blocking and a maximum one-inch gap maintained at the deck intersection. Punchouts on the studs are located a minimum of twelve inches away from connections.
