About this detail

A hard lid gypsum board ceiling connects to a cold-formed metal framing wall partition. The assembly accommodates up to two layers of 5/8-inch gypsum board between the ceiling track and wall stud when additional sheathing exists. Ceiling joists span to full-height partitions using designated member sizes and spacings based on span length, ranging from light track sections up to heavy structural studs with mandatory bridging and 12-gauge hanger wires with Hilti anchor clips where required. Perimeter ceiling studs attach directly to the partition using number 8 sheet metal screws at each wall stud, supporting a single layer of 5/8-inch gypsum board and a maximum 1/2 pound per square foot batt insulation.
