About this detail

Cold-formed steel studs are stabilized using a continuous 1 1/2-inch by 54-mil cold-rolled channel running horizontally through punch-outs in the stud webs. At standard intermediate studs, a 2-inch by 2-inch by 54-mil clip angle sized 1/4-inch less than the stud width is placed at each stud and attached with four number 8 screws. Where the bridging terminates at a built-up jamb or post, the channel extends into the punch-out and is secured using a 2-inch by 2-inch by 54-mil clip angle sized 1 1/4-inch less than the stud width, fastened with four number 8 screws.
