Shaftwall
Shaftwall systems are used to aid in the construction of elevator shafts, mechanical shafts, stairwells, air return shafts and horizontal membranes. The system is designed to use with 1” gypsum board. Telling’s shaftwall is available in 2 1/2”, 4”, or 6” sizes. Shaftwall is available in 18, 33 and 40 mil thicknesses.
Installation Instructions
Blocking a metal stud wall refers to installing a short piece of stud horizontally between the vertical studs. The purpose of blocking is to provide an attachment support point for mounted construction features like shelving, frames, cabinets, railings or other fixed hardware.
- Cut C-T studs 3/4” less than the height of the opening
- Cut 1” panel 3/4” less than the height of the opening
- In structural steel-frame construction, install J track sections before applying spray-on fireproofing
- Joint compounds should be applied at ambient temperatures above 50°F (10°C) with adequate ventilation
- Use Type S screws for 25-gauge steel framing. Use Type S-12 screws for 20-gauge (or heavier) steel framing
- It is important that the job structural engineer approves the type, size and maximum spacing of track fasteners to meet the design load requirements
