About this detail

Non-bearing interior steel stud head connections occur at concrete-filled metal decks, bare metal decks, and structural steel beams. For walls parallel to the deck, an eighteen-gauge slotted track by CEMCO secures with number ten self-tapping metal screws centered in the slotted holes at each stud, while sixteen-gauge plates spanning two flute widths fasten to the deck flutes with shot pins or screws. Walls perpendicular to the deck connect directly through the track using shot pins at each flute, maintaining a typical five-eighths-inch clearance. Where walls run parallel to a steel beam, studs anchor beneath the beam flange using two rows of shot pins at sixteen inches on center, ensuring proper overhang limits. Bridging and framing callouts reference additional details for complete lateral bracing.
