The assembly features a continuous cold-formed steel track and nested studs secured with number 8 screws at 8 inches on center. A two-inch by two-inch by 54-mil clip angle connects the nested stud to the track with five number 8 screws at each leg. A six-inch long cripple stud matches the typical wall stud size and attaches to the jamb with four number 8 screws. Sills and studs must remain continuous without splices, and nested member sizes vary depending on wall thickness.
