Metal stud walls terminate at tube or pipe columns to roof with half-inch gaps detailed on either side, secured by two number eight screws at each stud to continuous track. Control joints between metal stud walls incorporate half-inch gaps with joints filled per architectural specifications. Detail A shows a straight run of metal stud walls abutting a central column with half-inch spacing. Detail B shows an intersecting wall condition with vertical members extending upward through a half-inch gap. Detail C shows a control joint between aligned metal stud walls with a half-inch dimensioned gap. A general note mandates providing gaps as shown at full height demising walls only and filling joints per architectural requirements.
