About this detail

A wind girt and fire separation assembly ties into structural steel framing and a metal roof deck. The partition incorporates 6-inch 18-gauge metal studs spaced at 16 inches on center with continuous 16-gauge top tracks, alongside 3.5-inch 18-gauge metal studs serving as web members. Connections utilize 1/4-inch steel bent plates with 5-inch vertical legs and continuous bent plates with 3-inch bends. Fastening is achieved using self-tapping screws at 12 inches on center, staggered into 0.228-inch by 3-inch slots in the plates, running parallel with the supporting steel beam sized per plan. Gypsum board is provided as per architectural drawings, and hollow structural sections (2) HSS12x3x3/8 frame the opening.
