About this detail

A wood stud wall thickness transition utilizes 2x4, 2x6, or 2x8 studs spaced at 16 inches on center alongside 2x6, 2x8, or 2x10 studs. Shear panels are installed on both sides of the wall where specified, with nailing configured per plan and referenced details. Additional 3x studs are connected using 6-inch structural wood screws at spacings determined by the shear wall schedule. A strap is provided at the top plate break unless noted otherwise.
