About this detail

Cold-formed steel wall studs are braced vertically at a maximum spacing of forty-eight inches on center using a cold-rolled channel. The bridging member connects to the studs via a one-and-a-half by one-and-a-half-inch clip angle, sized one thickness heavier than the stud or a minimum of fifty-four mil, with an optional splice at the clip. The clip angle is fastened to the channel and stud using two number eight screws, or alternatively welded. Double clip angles, one on each side, are provided at built-up studs. Option two utilizes a cold-rolled channel with a clip angle for studs up to six inches maximum, while option four incorporates full-height qualified sheathing on each face fastened with number six screws minimum at twelve inches on center maximum.
