T-Block

Heavy duty wall blocking provides an attachment support point for mounted construction features like shelving, frames, cabinets, railings or other fixed hardware.

Installation Instructions

Use a fastening plate to secure the J track whenever fasteners are closer than 4” to the edge. Setting the plate at the time of concrete construction will avoid spalling by mechanical fasteners

  • Use a fastening plate to secure the J track whenever fasteners are closer than 4” to the edge. Setting the plate at the time of concrete construction will avoid spalling by mechanical fasteners
  • 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
