About this detail

A non-bearing metal stud terminates below a concrete floor slab using a slotted top track matched to the stud gauge to accommodate one-half inch of vertical deflection. The framing connects with two rows of number 10 sheet metal screws spaced at sixteen inches on center staggered, or alternative 0.143-inch diameter by three-quarter-inch powder-actuated fasteners spaced at twelve inches on center staggered at level two, positioned to avoid concrete-filled core sections. The first screw is located one inch below the track, and drywall or finishes remain unattached to the slip track to prevent restraint.
