About this detail

Cold-formed metal stud wall framing incorporating strap bridging and cold-rolled channel bridging details. Strap bridging utilizes a continuous 1 1/2-inch by 20-gauge strap spaced at a maximum of 4 feet on center vertically, secured with four number 10 self-tapping metal screws at the blocking and number 10 screws at each stud. Metal stud track blocking matches the stud gauge and is placed at each end of the wall and 8 feet on center typically, connected via clip angles matching the stud gauge and width with two number 10 self-tapping metal screws at each leg. Alternatively, cold-rolled channel bridging uses a continuous 1 1/2-inch by 18-gauge channel for studs 6 inches or smaller, secured with an 18-gauge clip angle and two number 10 self-tapping metal screws to the stud.
