About this detail

Continuous sixteen-gauge by two-inch galvanized steel flat straps are fastened to light-gauge steel studs using number ten sheet metal screws as specified. Track blocking with one-and-a-half-inch flanges is sized and gauged to match the studs, located in every fourth space for studs at twenty-four inches on center, every sixth space for studs at sixteen inches on center, and at each end of the wall. Bracing rows are installed at three-foot vertical spacing unless otherwise noted. Straps are placed on the side without sheathing where sheathing occurs on one side only, and on both sides where no sheathing is present.
