Cold-formed metal stud bracing connects to a concrete over metal deck assembly using an L4x4x12-gauge by one-foot six-inch minimum angle clip secured with two three-eighths-inch diameter Hilti KB-TZ2 or Simpson Strong-Bolt 2 expansion anchors with two-inch embedment centered on the low flutes of the metal deck. The metal deck attachment requires four number ten self-tapping metal screws total into two low flutes per connection. A 362S162-43 metal stud brace ties into the assembly, with three number ten self-tapping metal screws at midspan into each stud where the brace length exceeds nine feet.
