STEEL FRAMING AND FURRING INSTALLATION

A.
Install steel framing, furring and accessories in accordance with
manufacturer's printed instructions, unless otherwise shown or specified.

Framing Installation:
1.
Align tracks accurately at floor and ceiling. Secure
tracks as recommended by the framing manufacturer for the upper and
lower construction involved, except do not exceed 24 inches oc spacing
for nail or powder-driven fasteners, or 16 inches oc for other types of
attachment. Provide fasteners approximately 2 inches from corners and
ends of tracks.
2.
Position studs vertically and engage both upper and lower
tracks. Space studs 16 inches on center, unless otherwise indicated on the
Drawings. Fasten studs to track flanges with screws or by crimping.
a.
Use full length studs between tracks
wherever possible. If necessary, splice studs with a minimum 8
inch nested lap and fasten with two screws per stud flange.
3.
Install additional studs to support inside corners at
intersections and corners, and to support outside corners, terminations of
partitions, and both sides of control joints (if any).
4.
Terminate partitions at finish ceiling line unless otherwise
indicated on the Drawings.
5.
Brace chase wall framing horizontally to opposite studs
with 12 inch wide gypsum board gussets or metal framing braces, spaced
vertically not more than 4 feet on center.
a.
Attach gypsum board gussets with a
minimum 3 screws per stud flange.
b.
Attach metal framing braces with a
minimum 2 screws per stud flange.
6.
Install rough framing at openings consisting of full-length
studs adjacent to jambs and horizontal header and sill tracks. Cut
horizontal tracks to length and split flanges and bend webs at ends for
flange overlap and screw to jamb studs. Install intermediate studs
between jamb studs at head and sill sections, at same spacing as fulllength studs.

7.
At door frames, install rough framing as specified above.
Install jamb studs to comply with framing manufacturer's
recommendations for the types of frames and weights of doors required.
Fasten jamb studs to metal frames with anchor clips using 2 self tapping
screws or bolts per clip. Where wood frames are shown, fasten jamb
studs to rough framing with screws.
8.
Where double doors, or doors weighing more than 50 lb
are shown or scheduled, install two studs at each jamb and one additional
stud not more than 6 inches from jamb studs.
9.
Where vertical control joints are shown at jamb lines,
install additional vertical studs located on opening side of jambs and not
less than 1/2 inch from jamb studs. Do not fasten the additional studs to
tracks or jamb studs.
C.
Steel Furring Installation: Install steel furring at 16 inches oc maximum
spacing and provide additional furring at openings, cutouts, and corners. Securely
anchor with fasteners spaced 24 inches oc maximum and stagger on opposite
flanges of hat-shaped channels.
D.
Tolerances: Do not exceed 1/8 inch in 8 feet variation from plumb or
level in any exposed line or surface, except at joints between boards do not exceed
1/16 inch variation between planes or abutting edges or ends. Shim as required to
comply with specified tolerances.
