how to USEthis MANUAL

This catalog is designed to help you select the right products orsystems for your construction applications. It is the most compre-hensive manual in the industry. This catalog is divided intoten major sections that are color coded for easy reference.A comprehensive index is also located at the back of the catalogfor your convenience.

Each product page includes an extensive product overview, ben-efits, features and product and application renderings. Referencecharts contain size availability and packaging information.Each chart also includes metric sizing for your convenience.

Structural properties and load tables are available on our website www.dietrichmetalframing.com.

Product Codes/DesignatorsEach Dietrich product or system component is identified by a 3-or 4-digit alphanumericcode for ease of ordering. Corresponding SSMA member designator, where applicable, isalso provided for easy reference.

The Steel Stud Manufacturers Association (SSMA) has established industry standardnomenclature for steel framing members and components. The SSMA reference is identi-fied by an easy-to-understand alphanumeric code. The alpha designation is S, T, U, or F,where S = stud or joist, T = track, U = cold rolled channel, and F = furring channel.

Product identification is simplified with the SSMA standard member designation. While theletters define the section type, the numbers identify web depth, flange width and minimumsteel thickness as shown to the left.

Dietrich products meet or exceed all SSMA requirements. Care should be taken, however, when substituting materials in place of Dietrich Metal Framing.

There is a misconception within the construction industry regarding the substitution of one manufacturer’s products ormaterials for those of another manufacturer. The assumptionis that all studs of a given size and steel thickness are interchangeable. It may be possible that the substitution cansafely be made, but the decision should not be made untilthe structural properties of the products or materialsinvolved are compared by a qualified engineer.

Yield Strength, Fy/(psi or ksi)Yield strength is the property by which the strengthof steel is typically defined. Dietrich 20 and 18-gauge products are manufactured with steelhaving a yield point of 33 ksi. 16, 14 and 12-gauge products are manufactured with steelhaving a yield point of 50 ksi. Ksi is short for kipsper square inch. One kip is equal to 1,000 pounds.

Protective CoatingDietrich Metal Framing offers a variety of galvanized products that can be selected to meetthe specific requirements of a project.

Non- structural products have a corrosion resistantgalvanized coating that conforms to ASTM specification A1003 – G40 coating weight orequivalent corrosion protection. This coating is inaccordance with the industry standard coatingrequirements of ASTM C 645. These products canalso be ordered with enhanced coatings for specialapplications.

Structural Framing products are available with avariety of protective coatings. G60 zinc coatingsmeet the most widely applicable building codesand we are able to provide certified G60 productthat meets the G60 coating weight provisions ofASTM C 955. Certified G90 coatings are anenhanced option that can be requested for highlycorrosive environments. G60E coatings are an economical choice. G60E coatings for structuralproducts will pass the 100-hour salt spray testapplicable to "equivalent" coatings under ASTM A 1003, but cannot be certified by any supplier tomeet the G60 minimum coating standard underASTM C 955. The buyer is solely responsible toassure that products purchased properly satisfyany applicable code or specification.

Product LabelingSkids are clearly identified with master skid labelsthat display product, gauge, size, length, piececount, yield strength and any special skid mark-ings specified at the time of order. Individual ink jetlabeling (including company name, product, size,length, gauge, coating and yield strength) orembossing is also provided on many of our struc-tural framing members. UPC bar coding is alsoavailable for certain products.

Steel Thickness (Gauge)The steel thickness of a product or component isreferenced in terms of gauge or mils. The thickness or gauge is a key contributor to thestrength of the product.

ComprehensiveIndex

A comprehensive index can be found at theback of the catalog for a quick reference guideto our complete product and system offering,so you can easily locate the specific Dietrichproduct or system that meets your needs. Thisindex includes common names, synonyms andeven industry slang to help you quickly findexactly what you’re seeking.

Note: All products comply with ASTM thickness standards and Federal specifications shown in the Certificationof Materials in the back of this catalog. Minimum thickness is 95% of the design thickness per AISI code.

The trend today is to refer to steel thickness in terms of “mil” rather than “gauge”. This catalog includes bothfor ease of use. One mil is equivalent to 1/1000, (.001) of an inch. The mil thickness measures the uncoated base metal material. A 20-gauge stud measuring the minimum uncoated base metal at 0.030 inches is “30 mils thick”.

the BENEFITSof STEEL

Superior and Uniform Quality

■ Steel is roll-formed into precise, uniform shapes with exactingtolerances for consistent material quality. There is no need forsorting (culling) or special handling to inspect for crown.

■ Steel studs are straight. They don’t warp, twist, bow, split or have knots, which meansstraight walls, square corners and doors and windows that open and close properly.

■ Steel is dimensionally stable and won’t shrink like wood, eliminating nail popping,wall cracking or floor squeaking.

■ Steel does not rot, promote mold or mildew and is impermeable to termites, verminand insects.

High Strength/Light Weight/Versatile■ Steel has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any building material.

■ Because of its strength, steel can mean fewer framing members with wider on-center spacing, reducing material and labor costs.

■ Steel framing can weigh substantially less when compared to traditional buildingmaterials like masonry and concrete systems.

■ Light-gauge framing can reach spans far greater than traditional or engineeredlumber, providing larger open spaces, taller walls and flexible floor plans.

■ Steel framing lightens structures, reducing foundation requirements and oftenreducing or eliminating piling.

■ Stick for stick, steel can weigh up to 50% less compared to lumber.

■ Steel can adapt to almost any application and works well independently or in combination with other structural systems.

What about Rust?■ Steel framing members in wall cavities,

attic spaces or crawl spaces that are notexposed to water will last over 300years, per a study conducted in England.

■ Forensic studies recently conducted onOahu residences built over 40 years agoshowed steel wall studs with no visiblesigns of corrosion.

■ Zinc coating protects steel by providinga physical barrier as well as cathodicprotection to the underlying steel. Whenthe base is exposed, such as at a cut or scratch, the steel is cathodicallyprotected by the sacrificial corrosion ofthe zinc coating adjacent to the steel.

What about Cost?

■ More economicalthan traditionalmasonry, concreteand otherconstructionmethods.

■ Reduces or eliminatescallback costs for nail pops, floorsqueaks and wall cracks due toshrinkage. The NAHB estimates theaverage callback costs the builder over$350.00 per call.

■ Lower costs for construction andhomeowner’s insurance.h STEEL today...

Fire Resistance■ Steel framing is non-combustible and

will not add fuel to a fire. It improvesfire safety in compliance with localcodes and regulations.

■ Steel framing offers code approvedincreases in allowable floor area and/orallowable building heights compared to conventional wood framing.

■ One-third of all fires start in the wall cavity.

■ Actual case studies show steel housesperform very well in house fires, withlittle or no damage to the framingstructure.

TermitesA few things you should know.■ Over $1 billion is spent each year for

prevention, control and repair.

■ Steel framing provides a termite-proofsolution for the structural integrity ofyour project.

■ The most ferocious termite is theFormosan Subterranean “SuperTermite.”

■ An average colony consists of about 3 million termites, but can be as largeas 10 million. A single colony normallysurvives about 35 years.

■ A well-fed Formosan queen can live for 25 years and lay 1,000 eggs a day.

Mold■ Steel does not promote the growth

of mold and reduces the threat of staggering litigation.

■ Mold requires an organic nutrientsource and moisture to grow andflourish. Steel is inorganic and does notcontain moisture like wood. Kiln driedlumber still has between 11–14%residual water content.

■ California has already passed mold-related laws, and nine other states havelegislation pending.

the BENEFITSof STEEL

What about Lightning?■ Steel buildings are lightning resistant because steel framing provides

multiple conductive paths directly to the ground.

■ The steel frame reduces the likelihood of explosions, secondary fires or personal injury.

■ Steel skyscrapers have provided occupants with safe offices andresidences for years.

Earthquakes or Hurricanes?■ Steel framing can be engineered to meet the highest seismic and wind loads

prescribed by building codes.

■ Steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any framing material; a lighterstructure with stronger connections results in lower damage from seismic force.

■ Steel’s strength and resiliency help it to survive earthquakes.

■ Smaller probability of damage in high winds; stronger connections (screwed vs. nailed) can withstand greater winds.

■ For generations we have relied on the strength and durability of steel in ourcommercial buildings, hospitals and schools.

Easy to Use

■ Interior nonload-bearing studs are cuteasily with metal snips (aviator snips). Theydo not require the use of a circular saw.

■ Simply twist metal studs into place andscrew attach. Make a mistake and simplyreverse the screw gun.

■ Up to 50% lighter than wood.■ Pre-punched holes eliminate drilling for

electrical and plumbing lines.■ Special order cut-to-length material

eliminates field cutting and waste.

that will LAST A LIFETIME.

EnvironmentalBenefits■ Steel offers builders an environmentally

friendly alternative to wood.

■ There is little waste when using steelframing materials.

■ Builders can reduce their disposal costsand divert material from local landfills(2% – steel vs. 20% – lumber).

■ Building an average wood-frame homegenerates approximately 50 cubic feetof landfill waste, while a comparablesteel home generates about 1.5 cubicfeet of waste.

Live and Breathe Easier■ The Healthy House Institute

recommends steel framing for goodindoor air quality.

■ Chemically sensitive homeowners and those susceptible to asthma areexposed to fewer toxins in a steel-framed home.

■ The American Lung Associationencourages the use of steel framingwith its Health House program.

■ Steel resists mold spores that can leadto chronic illness.

■ No pesticides or toxins are required to protect the framing from termites or vermin.

■ No off gassing from resins, adhesives or chemicals normally used for woodconstruction.

■ Better insulation values with EPS foamreduces outside noise pollution.

North America’s MostRecycled Material■ Steel is 100% recyclable and

considered a green building material.

■ Steel framing materials contain on average 67% recycled steel.

■ Steel can be a significant contributor to the LEED certification process.

■ It takes 25 old growth trees to build a2,500 square foot home, compared with7 recycled automobiles for the samesteel-framed home.

■ 60 million tons of steel scrap arerecycled each year: more than paper,aluminum, glass and plastic combined.

Interior (Drywall) Nonload-Bearing,Nonstructural Framing

Dietrich Metal Framing’s nonload-bearing, nonstructural or interior framing metal studsand tracks are C-shaped channels, roll-formedfrom corrosion resistant, galvanized steel. Thesechannels are assembled to provide efficient, lowcost framing for partition walls, ceilings and column fireproofing. Gypsum wallboard, veneer

plaster or traditional lath and plaster is applied to the metal framing to complete thewall assembly. These assemblies are nonload-bearing, nonstructural wall systems thatsupport gypsum panel construction. They are not designed to carry an axial load.Most nonload-bearing, nonstructural walls are constructed using 25 gauge equivalent(15 mils) UltraSTEEL® (0.034" effective thickness), 20 DW gauge equivalent (25 mils)UltraSTEEL® (0.055" effective thickness) or 20 STR* gauge equivalent (28 mils)UltraSTEEL® (0.060" effective thickness) stud and track.

* Available in limited markets

All of Dietrich’s interior, nonload-bearing stud and track products are manufacturedutilizing a next-generation manufacturing technology called UltraSTEEL® framing.UltraSTEEL® technology is a manufacturing process that alters the characteristics offlat base strip steel, providing higher strength capacity from lighter gauge material.The process effectively work-hardens the steel with two mating rolls. During theprocess, the effective thickness of the material is increased to that of the originalthickness, plus the depth of the ribbing. This process, in effect, dimples the entirestud or track member. UltraSTEEL® technology significantly increases the productperformance when compared to traditional interior metal stud framing. Some of thebenefits include better acoustical performance, improved fire resistance, faster andeasier installation, improved safety and better finish quality.

INTERIORFRAMINGOVERVIEW

Dietrich Metal Framing interiorframing products are used in a variety of interior, nonload-bearingconstruction applications. The mostcommon uses of nonload-bearingor nonstructural metal framing arepartition walls, ceilings and columnfireproofing in low-rise, mid-rise,high-rise, educational, institutionaland multi-use commercial struc-tures. Nonload-bearing framing isalso used in residential applicationsincluding partition framing andbasement finishing. Metal framing isrequired in most commercial struc-tures because it is noncombustibleand does not add fuel to the fire.Interior framing components aremanufactured from corrosion resistant galvanized steel that offerssignificant protection from the elements. In addition these framingmembers are precision manufac-tured to exacting tolerances thatprovide the framework for superiorconstruction.

Dietrich Metal Framing offers anextensive selection of interior framing products including studsand tracks, furring and resilientchannels, deflection products, corner angles and backing plates.

Dietrich UltraSTEEL® Metal Track (or runner) is available incorresponding sizes and is offered in a variety of legheights including 1-1/4", 2" and 3" legs. The 1-1/4" legtrack is the industry standard. Track is used to align andsecure studs to floors and ceilings, and is also used in conjunction with studs for constructing openings, headersand sills. Metal studs are twisted into top and bottom trackand typically screw attached using 7/16" pan head framingscrews.

Like most products, drywall studs and track can be purchased in stock lengths, or custom orderedto match specific job requirements. This flexibility allows the end user to more efficiently controllabor costs at the jobsite.

Dietrich UltraSTEEL® Metal Studs are available in 1-5/8", 2-1/2", 3-1/2"*, 3-5/8", 4", 5-1/2"* and 6" widths or webdepths. Studs are manufactured using the UltraSTEEL®

process. Studs may be spaced at 12", 16" or 24" on-centerbased on wall height. Wall height, stud spacing, framingcondition, deflection limitations and lateral load are all fac-tors that must be considered in determining the correctsize and gauge of the applicable product.

Enhances Screw Retention■ Independent tests have shown improved screw retention characteristics■ The dimpled surface reduces screw “spin out”

Dietrich UltraSTEEL® Framing is made from 40 KSI steel combined with double helixwork hardening process which increases strength of screw retention. The DietrichUltraSTEEL® Framing cross-section ensures every screw is in contact with a materialthickness greater than the nominal gauge of the steel. Furthermore, the location ofscrews within Dietrich UltraSTEEL® Framing material creates inward pressure aroundthe point of contact as a pull-out force is applied.

*The term “Effective Thickness” was created by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to establish a minimum thickness measurement after the UltraSTEEL® manufacturing processhas occurred. Effective thickness is the measurement across the peaks of the dimples or the thickest part of the steel. The manufacturing, base steel and quality controlprocess is verified by independent third party UL representatives, who make regular unannounced visits to Dietrich’s manufacturing facilities to assure full compliance withUL established quality control standards.

Lateral Bridging for Light-Gauge Steel Framed Walls (Interior Non-Axial Load Bearing)

U-Channel and EasyClip™ Connectors(U-Series™)

Bridging Recommendations

Block and Strap

Bridging and bracing of interior nonload-bearing framing can beachieved through various methods.

Three of the more common methods are:

■ Spazzer® 9200 Bridging and Spacing Bar

■ U-Channel and EasyClip™ Connectors (U-Series™)

■ Block and Strap

The purpose of bridging is to provide resistance to lateral andtorsional movement of the stud assembly. Bridging is normallyrequired when:

■ Wall sheathing does not extend to the undersideof the ceiling deck

■ Walls are only sheathed on one side

■ It is necessary to maintain the integrity of theframework during construction

■ To brace studs when using Long Leg (Deflection)Track

■ When required by certain fire-rated assemblies

■ Eliminates stud spacinglayout at deck

■ Improves drywallinstallation speed

■ Automatically positions and rigidly holds studs on 16” or 24” centers without fasteners

■ Eliminates clip angles and the labor required to install them

■ Prevents twisting andlateral movement

■ Traditional system

■ EasyClip™ Connectors (U-Series™) areprepunched for fasterinstallation

1. For an interior non-axial load-bearing wall with gypsum boardor other approved ASTM rigid facing material attached to bothstud flanges for the entire height of the wall, no bridging isrequired. However, temporary bracing of the wall is required ifone stud flange is temporarily unsheathed.

2. For an interior non-axial load-bearing wall with partial heightgypsum board, continuous bridging is required at 5-ft. maxi-mum vertical spacing above the elevation at which the boardis terminated.

3. For an interior non-axial load bearing wall with sheathingon one side only, bridging is required at 5-ft. maximum vertical spacing.

Note that for studs 6" wide and less in depth, bridging can be accomplished with the TradeReady™ Spazzer™ 9200 or 1-1/2" 16-gauge U-channel fastened to studs.

For a stud with a depth greater than 8" wide, block and strapbridging or solid blocking is required.

Spazzer® 9200 Bridging and Spacing Bar

■ Used as bridging whenframing members are unpunched

■ Eliminates the need for connectors

■ Provides alternativebridging when knockouts do not align

SAVINGLabor

SolutionTM

Dietrich TradeReady® Spazzer® 9200 is a pre-notched, 20-gauge, galvanized steel spacer barengineered to handle deflection at the head track of interior nonload-bearing, nonstructural studwalls. The pre-notched slots and gripping power of the 50-inch bar holds studs into a rigid,accurately laid out gridwork that has excellent resistance to stud rotation and displacement.

The Spazzer® 9200 spacer bar saves time and materials by eliminating the cost of custom headtracks and the time required to fasten and remove screws or layout stud spacing at the deck.Hanging drywall is also faster and easier because the Spazzer® 9200 spacer bar eliminates thebow that often occurs in tall interior studs.

Dietrich furring channel is a hat-shaped corrosion-resistantframing component used to furr out masonry walls andceiling assemblies. In concrete wall applications, furringchannel is installed vertically to the wall surface usingconcrete nails or power-driven fasteners. Gypsum panelsare then screw-attached to the furring channels. In ceilingapplications, furring channels can be attached directly tothe underside of the buildingstructure using tie wire, screws orpower-driven fasteners. Heavier-gauge furring enables greater spansand loading capacity. 18- or 16-gauge furring is commonly usedfor purlins in exterior applications.

Dietrich resilient channel is one of the most efficient low-cost methods developed to reduce transmission ofairborne sound through partition and ceiling assemblies.The resilient channel dampens sound waves effectively,dissipating the energy and reducing sound transmission bysuspending gypsum wallboard 1/2" from the stud or joist.Sound absorption can be maximized by utilizing soundattenuation blankets within the wall or floor cavity.

Resilient channel is manufactured from 25- and 20-gauge corrosion-resistant galvanized steel and is available withsingle or double legs. The single leg resilient channel isavailable in regular (RCUR) and deluxe (RCSD) sizes.Dietrich high-performance single leg resilient channel(RCUR) has a 1-1/4" screw flange. The RCUR is commonlyused in wall applications. Dietrich™ RC Deluxe™ resilientchannel (RCSD) is the preferred resilient channel in manyapplications because of its extra-wide 1-1/2" screw flange.The extra-wide flange provides added rigidity and a widersurface for faster and easier installation of sheathingmaterials.

Dietrich double leg resilient channel (RCDN/RCDE) has two legs for rapid installation. Double leg resilientinstallation is typically used for ceiling applications withmultiple layers of gypsum board. Double leg resilient iseasier to install, but offers a lower STC rating.

Exterior Light-Gauge SteelFraming Systems for Curtain-Wall/Axial Load-Bearing

Exterior light-gauge steel framing is used in avariety of applications including axial load-bear-ing and curtain-wall construction.

Axial load-bearing members are used in wall androof truss framing. They are designed to carry both lat-eral and axial loads. Axial framing members provide pri-

mary structural support and have been used as the primary framing system up to nine stories.

Curtain-wall framing members are used in exterior walls to provide an envelope oroutside skin on the building. Light-gauge steel framing members provide exterior envelope (curtain-wall) framing for a variety of construction and finishing systems. Theyare ideal back-up support assemblies for brick-veneer, stucco and E.I.F.S. systems.Dietrich™ curtain-wall framing members are utilized for in-fill, bypass (balloon) and span-drel framing applications. Dietrich’s wide variety of products allow engineers to select aneconomical system to meet any design criteria, including high wind and seismic loads.

Exterior Light-Gauge SteelDeflection Systems

Deflection products and systems are used in both inte-rior and exterior wall assemblies in areas that are sub-jected to movement, including seismic disturbances.Deflection products allow for vertical movement, anddepending on the head-of-wall detail, can also providefor concomitant fire protection.

A variety of deflection products can be used including:

■ SLP-TRK* Slotted Track

■ Long-Leg (Deflection) Track with Spazzer® 5400 Bridging Bar

■ Long-Leg Track with U-Channel and EasyClip™ Clip Angles (U-Series™)

■ Double-Track (Overtrack) System

Exterior Light-Gauge Load-Bearing Wall Headers

Load-bearing headers are structural components or assemblies that carry and redistributeloads over door, window or other wall, floor or roof openings. Headers can be field assem-bled using conventional C-Stud and track members, or specialty headers like the L-Headerand TradeReady® Header can be custom-ordered to fit your specific framing conditions.

The most common header configurations are:

■ L-Header

■ TradeReady® Load-Bearing Header

■ Back to Back (I-Header)

■ Boxed Header

Consideration should be given to specialty headers as they substantially reduce laborand materials. These products tend to be lighter in weight and most are easily insulat-ed after installation, unlike conventional C-Stud box headers that must be insulatedduring fabrication.

Exterior light gauge framing is used ina variety of construction applicationsincluding axial load-bearing walls,floors, roofs and curtain-wall assem-blies in low-rise, mid-rise, high-rise,educational, institutional, multi-familyand multi-use commercial and resi-dential structures. Light-gauge framingproducts can be assembled to provideversatile, cost-effective, lightweight andnoncombustible assemblies used as pri-mary or secondary framing systems.When used as the primary frame, steelframing assemblies have been used upto nine stories. When used as a second-ary frame with heavy structural steel orconcrete structures, light-gauge fram-ing provides low-cost, efficient framingthat can accommodate almost any fac-ing material. Light-gauge steel framingis commonly stick framed; however, it ishighly suited for prefabricated panelconstruction that provides additionaleconomy in today’s highly competitiveconstruction industry.

Light-gauge steel framing is a superiorbuilding material. Its high strength-to-weight ratio maximizes building designflexibility and provides rigid structuralintegrity. Light-gauge steel framing iseasily insulated for high-energy conser-vation and provides noncombustiblesupport for fire-rated construction.

Dietrich C-Studs are light-weight, cold-formed galvanizedsteel members used in axial load-bearing walls, curtain-walls, floorjoists and roof truss framing. C-Studs are available in a widearray of sizes, flanges, gauges andyield strengths to obtain optimalperformance at minimal costs.

One of the key differencesbetween the various C-Stud/ Joist framing members is the flange and returndimensions. The flange istypically the bearing surface forcladding materials and a keycontributor to the load-bearingcapacity of the member. Flange sizes include 1-1/4", 1-3/8", 1-5/8", 2", 2-1/2" and 3".

Dietrich CWI™ light-duty curtain-wallstuds have a 1-1/4" flange and 1/4" returnand are used to support the exterior skinin ultra-light applications. CWI studs areavailable only in the Pacific Northwest.

Dietrich CWN™ curtain-wall studs have a1-3/8" flange and 3/8" return and are usedto support the exterior skin or claddingmaterial (metal, stone, tile, glass, etc.) and the wind loads to which they aresubjected.

Dietrich CSJ™ studs/joist have a 1-5/8" flange and a 1/2"return and are considered the industry standard. CSJmembers are the most widely used and specified framingmembers. They provide the vertical strength necessary for demanding load-bearing structural applications and sufficient strength for many joist applications.

Dietrich CSW™ wide studs/joist have a 2" wide flange and a 5/8" return that provides a larger bearing surface forattaching sub-flooring or sheathing materials. This framingmember is also used in axial load-bearing wall assemblies.

Dietrich CSE™ extra-wide studs/joist have a 2-1/2" wideflange and a 5/8" return and are used in floor joistassemblies and heavy loading conditions.

Dietrich CSS™ super-wide studs/joist have a 3" flange and a 1" return and are used in very heavy loading andlong spanning conditions.

Dietrich light-gauge C-studs for axial load-bearing and curtain-wall framing areprepunched with knockouts at regularintervals. These punchouts are specificallydesigned to allow for rapid installation ofpipes, electrical conduit and wall bridging.

Standard knockout sizing is 1-1/2" x 4" in members 3-1/2" and wider. Memberssmaller than 3-1/2" are unpunched unlessotherwise specified at time of order. Ifspecified, members will be punched with a 3/4" x 4" knockout.

Knockouts are punched 12" from the leadedge with additional knockouts every 24"O.C. (on the WestCoast the firstknockout is punched24" from the leadedge). Caution mustbe exercised wheninstalling studs soknockouts align forbridging. Based onstud length, thedistance the knockoutfalls from the tail endof the stud may not bethe same from the leadend. To align punch-outs, make sure to usethe same end in thesame directionconsistently.

Conveniently placed holes for easy installation of wiring,plumbing and bridging.■ Prepunched at regular intervals.

■ Easily accommodates Spazzer® or U-Channel bridging.

■ Custom hole placement available on request.

It’s a real challenge these days meeting head-of-wall codesfor fire stop and life safety issues while maintaining theability to absorb vertical movement in low-, mid- and high-rise buildings. SLP-TRK* slotted track is the solution.

SLP-TRK® slotted track provides a positive attachment foroverall strength and allows for vertical movement causedby normal head-of-wall and floor extension orcompression. SLP-TRK® slotted track smoothly integrateswith a variety of wall installation systems and is extremelyuser-friendly as well as economical. The simple design andeasy installation reduces the cost of materials and labor.And the installer can use the head-of-wall systems heprefers to work with.

SLP-TRK® slotted track systems comply with the toughestcode requirements in North America, if not the world. Ithas been tested with a variety of leading fire-stop productsand has outperformed the requirements of stringent fireand hose stream testing of ASTM E 119 and ASTM E 814.SLP-TRK has also met and exceeded the latest seismiccycling standards found in UL2079 and ASTM E 1966.

The SLP-TRK® slotted track has achieved the followingbuilding code approvals:

ICC-ES ESR 1042UL Classified R19236UL Certified for Canada XHL17LA City RR25344OSHPD R#0371NY City MEA 285-01-M

SLP-TRK® slotted track is installed directly to the slab orcorrugated metal roof deck using #10 sheet metal screws,Tapcon** concrete screws or power-driven fasteners.Fasteners must be placed at 8" or 12" intervals dependingon the flute intervals of the metal decking material. Studsmust be cut 3/4" shorter than floor-to-ceiling height toallow for ceiling deflection. Studs are attached to the trackthrough the midpoint of flange slots using #8 self-tappingwafer-head screws on each side of the stud.


Most cost-effective, positively attached fire-rated deflection system.■ Positive attachment that allows up to 1” of vertical movement.

■ UL*** approved 1- and 2-hour systems.

■ Meets IBC, BOCA, SBCCI, ASTM, UL2079, and UBC building codes and standards.

TS-Series™ System with U-Channel (CHN), EasyClip™ Clip Angles (U-Series™) and Screws

Enhance productivity and reduce materials with the Spazzer® 5400‚prenotched, prespaced exterior deflection assembly.■ Eliminates high material cost of custom-made head tracks.

■ Requires only a single generic Long Leg Track to provide deflection.

■ Facilitates sprayable intumescent/elastomeric firestops.

■ Eliminates stud spacing layout at deck.

■ Automatically positions and holds studs rigidly on 12”, 16” or 24” spacing.

This traditional assembly accommodates the deflection of floor beams or floor decks at the head of wall. The single long leg track assembly requires 1-1/2" cold-rolledchannel (CHN) and 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" 16-gauge EasyClip™ Clip Angles (U-Series™) installedcontinuously throughout the uppermost punch-outs to align the studs vertically within the plane of the wall. Deflection track details must be designed for the specificconditions of a building to accommodate the required deflection and end reactions ofthe studs. Deflection tracks cannot be used in axial load-bearing stud conditions orabove continuous window spandrels.

A DoubleTrack™ system is a two-piece assembly thataccommodates deflection of exterior curtain walls. Acustom-made deep leg outer track is installed to theunderside of the floor deck. A wall assembly is constructedon the floor and slid into place. The wall assembly is builtto allow a “gap” at the top for deflection.

The track-over-track assembly, although still used, isbecoming less and less common. The development ofinnovative deflection systems like the SLP-TRK* System(page 66) has significantly improved and streamlined the assembly process. DoubleTrack™ deflection assembliescannot be used in axial load-bearing stud conditions orabove continuous window spandrels.

Traditional, DoubleTrack™ ortrack-over-track curtain-walldeflection system.■ Eliminates bridging.

■ Requires custom top track and longer lead times.

Table Notes

1) Screws shall be #10-16 Buildex or equivalent, with an ultimate shear capacity per screw of 1400#.2) Table to be used by qualified engineers only.3) To determine the capacity of any given connection, compare the jamb and head values, and use the minimum. For example, if a 16-gauge, 50 ksi jamb is used with a

3.625" HDS 18-gauge, 33 ksi head, the design value for F1 is the minimum value of 1680# for the jamb and 682# for the head. Therefore, the design value is 682#.4) For F1 and F2 occurring at the same time, use the squared interaction equation: (f1/F1)^2+(f2/F2)^2<1.0.

Table Notes

1) Tabulated values are for a single HDS header installed withstandard HDSC clips. Each head-to-jamb connection requires (4) #10-16 screws to the header, and (4) #10-16 screws to thejamb. Tabulated values marked with an asterisk will requirespecial engineering of the header-to-jamb connections.

2) Deflections are computed using 0.7 times the components andcladding wind load per Section B1 of the AISI Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing - Wall Design. Note that the 0.7 factor is not used for the interior 5 psf loading condition.

3) Unless connections are engineered separately, jambs must bethe same gauge and strength as the header.

4) HDS Header to be installed with open side facing up.5) HDS properties computed in accordance

with AISI NASPEC 2001.

Table Notes

1) The opening is centered vertically about the wall height.

2) The assumed stud spacing adjacent to the opening is 16" O/C or less. For door openings, this table is conservative, and therefore valid.

3) The tabulated values assume a single HDS memberis used at each jamb stud.

4) The tabulated values are limited to 16' for 3.625"walls and 20' for 6" walls. For wider openings orother conditions, contact Dietrich Design Group at 1-800-873-2443.

5) Depending on the actual window width versus thetabulated window width, cells marked with anasterisk may require an end connection that willprevent web crippling. Web crippling is computed inaccordance with the AISI Standard for CFS Wall StudDesign 2004. End track must have a minimumthickness equal to the jamb stud.

6) The tabulated values are based on an unbracedlength of 6' for bending.

7) HDS properties computed in accordance with the2001 AISI NASPEC.

8) Table not valid for openings in load-bearing walls.

Table Notes

1) The opening is centered vertically about the wall height.2) The assumed stud spacing adjacent to the opening is 16" O/C or less.3) The tabulated values assume a single HDS member is used at each

jamb stud.4) The tabulated values are limited to 16' for 3.625" walls and 20' for

6" walls. For wider openings or other conditions, contact DietrichDesign Group at 1-800-873-2443.

5) Depending on the actual window width versus the tabulated windowwidth, cells marked with an asterisk may require an end connectionthat will prevent web crippling. Web crippling is computed inaccordance with the AISI Standard for CFS Wall Stud Design 2004. End track must have a minimum thickness equal to the jamb stud.

6) The tabulated values are based on an unbraced length for bending of 6'.

7) Deflections are computed using 0.7 times the components andcladding wind load per Section B1 of the AISI Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing - Wall Design. Note that the 0.7 factor is not used for the interior 5 psf loading condition.

8) HDS properties computed in accordance with the 2001 AISI NASPEC.9) Table not valid for openings in load-bearing walls.

HDS® Limiting Heights

Table Notes

1) Except for wind loads less than 15 psf, values are based on deflection calculations using 70% of components and cladding wind load. This is per IBC 2002 and the AISI Standard for CFS Wall Stud Design 2004.

2) Members are checked for simple span moment and deflection at mid-span, and end shear.3) Limiting heights marked with an asterisk (*) fail in web crippling per the AISI Standard for CFS Wall Stud Design 2004.

A web stiffener or connection that is not susceptible to web crippling is required.4) Check with your local Dietrich plant to verify if HDS members can be supplied in the length required for your job.

Some Dietrich plants can supply HDS members only in 20' maximum lengths.

Table Notes

1) Except for wind loads less than 15 psf, values are based on deflection calculations using 70% of components and cladding wind load. This is per IBC 2002 and the AISI Standard for CFS Wall Stud Design 2004.

2) Members are checked for simple span moment and deflection at mid-span, and end shear.3) Limiting heights marked with an asterisk (*) fail in web crippling per the AISI Standard for CFS Wall Stud Design 2004.

A web stiffener or connection that is not susceptible to web crippling is required.4) Check with your local Dietrich plant to verify if HDS members can be supplied in the length required for your job.

Some Dietrich plants can supply HDS members only in 20' maximum lengths.

Dietrich slide clips are used to attach exteriorcurtain-wall studs to the building structure andprovide for vertical building movementindependent of the cold-formed steel framing.Slide clips are used in by-pass situations and arenormally welded or otherwise fastened to thevertical leg of a structural angle at the floor or roofedge. Normally a stand-off exists between thestructural angle and the inside flange of thecurtain-wall stud. This will require the installationof an extra stud piece to bridge the stand-off. Inorder to avoid the extra installation costs, DietrichFast Clip™ products are recommended in place ofthe SD.

Exterior Light-Gauge Framing Accessories for Bridging and Bracing

Properly spacedhorizontal steel bracingprovides resistance tostud rotation and minoraxis buckling under windand axial loads. Block andstrapping is typically usedwhen wall studs exceed6". U-Channel or theSpazzer® bar does notprovide sufficient bracingfor members wider than6". Both stud flanges must

be attached to top and bottom runner flanges to provide properend support. Floor and ceiling runners must also be anchoredsecurely to the structure. To utilize the stud’s load carryingcapacity fully, horizontal bracing must be installed at properintervals.

Lateral bracing consists of a field-cut stud or track for solid blockingand steel strap bracing on both flanges of the studs. Solid blockingis placed at each end of the wall, adjacent to wall openings and 8'O.C. maximum. The blocking is attached to each adjacent stud viaEasyClip™ E- or S- Series™ clips, or when a track is used, the flangesare cut, the web bent and a minimum 4" overlap is used to securethe track block to the studs. Strap bracing, 2" wide and 20-gauge(33 mil) minimum, is fastened to each solid block and stud flange.

Commonly used bracing for wallstuds deeper than 6".■ Provides horizontal bracing for studs deeper than 6”.

■ Blocking is field cut.

■ Used if knockouts do not align.

Dietrich diagonaltension strappingand gusset platecomponents are usedin combination toprovide shearwall(racking restraint) for light-gauge load- bearing framingunder wind andseismic loads. They

are normally installed on both sides of the wall directly over

framing members and are easily covered with facing materials.

Straps are positioned diagonally from the bottom track to the top track. In order to resist load in each direction, an X-configuration should be used. At a minimum, double studsare positioned at ends of the X-brace to serve as compressionstuds. Straps are either attached directly to the compressionstuds or are attached via gusset plates. Compression studsmust be anchored to the foundation, normally with Simpson*uplift anchors. For multi-story construction, the uplift loads areextremely high. It is not uncommon to require 20,000 to40,000 pounds of uplift force at these connections. SinceSimpson® anchors are not designed to resistthis magnitude of force, it isrecommended

that embedded plates be installed prior to pouring theconcrete foundation. A heavy steel assembly is then welded tothe embedded plate and to the compression studs.

Caution: Racking loads are first transferred to the roof orfloor decking and then to the shearwalls (X-bracing). The X-bracing then relies on a proper foundation to resist uplift andshear forces. In order for the system to function properly, theload path from the roof or floor deck to the shearwalls to thefoundation must be complete. This normally requiresadditional bracing, blocking, track and rim splices, drag struts,uplift anchors and heavy-duty foundations.

FLOORFRAMINGOVERVIEW

Light-gauge C-Studs/Joists are com-monly used in floor framing assem-blies. C-Joists are a cost-effective alter-native to open web trusses, bar joists,engineered lumber, and cast-in-placeor hollow-core floor assemblies. Lightsteel framing (C-Joists) are ideal forlow- and mid-rise commercial appli-cations such as hotels, motels, apart-ment complexes, condominiums,multi-family, and assisted living. Steeljoists are also being used more exten-sively in residential structures.

Steel’s high strength-to-weight ratioprovides strong loading capacity andmaximum spanning capability. Joistsare commonly spaced at 12", 16",19.2" or 24" intervals and are used inconjunction with all traditionalflooring materials such as plywood,OSB, concrete filled steel deck, or oneof the many varieties of fiber rein-forced cement board.

Dietrich offers a variety of floor fram-ing systems including conventionalC-Joist and the TradeReady® SteelJoist System. The TradeReady® SteelJoist System features large extrudedopenings in the joist to accommodateelectrical, mechanical, plumbingand technology lines. The system alsoincludes a tabbed rim track tostrengthen the joist against web crip-pling loads, and to provide greaterversatility and strength for ledgerapplications. This system, in con-junction with other floor sheathingproducts, provides one of the mostcost-effective systems for non-com-bustible low and mid-rise structures.

Dietrich C-Joist components provide an economical, lightweight alternative to open web trusses, barjoists, engineered lumber, cast-in-place or hollow core floor assemblies. Depending on loads and spans,C-Joists are typically spaced at 12", 16", 19.2" or 24" on-center spacing. Structural track (TSB), usuallyin the same gauge as the joist, is used as rim or band enclosures. Joist to girder attachments arenormally supported with joist hangers, EasyClip™ E-Series™ or S-Series™ support clips. Web stiffenersmay be required at supports and other point loads. Solid blocking and strap bridging is required toproperly brace the floor assembly.

Dietrich TradeReady® steel joists are one of the primarycomponents that make up the TradeReady® floor system. Thesejoists feature large extruded holes that accommodate HVAC,mechanical, plumbing and sprinkler runs. The joist also featuresa series of smaller holes for electrical and technology lines.

Dietrich TradeReady® steel joists are precision manufacturedfrom corrosion-resistant galvanized steel. Steel joists offerconsistent quality, predictable performance and high strengthto weight ratio, and they are dimensionally stable. They won’texpand, contract or shrink; they won’t warp, crack or twist.Steel joists integrate easily with other building materials suchas structural steel, concrete, ICF and wood construction.

Joists can be ordered in standard lengths or to your exactspecifications to minimize waste. Consult the Dietrich TechnicalDesign Guide or the TradeReady® Steel Joist Design Guide forphysical and structural properties, span charts and loading data.

Dietrich block andstrap bridging isinstalled to preventjoist rotation andlateral movement.Solid blocking, afield-cut track orjoist section, iswelded or screw-attached betweenthe first and lasttwo outer joist baysand at a maximumof 8' O.C. along

the strap, over all interior supports and adjacent to flooropenings. Two-inch wide corrosion resistant strapping is also screw-attached or welded to the bottom of every joist flange. Lateral support on the top flanges is usuallyprovided by sub floor or deck material.

Spacing of bridging must be calculated based on therequired strength. In general, bridging is installed at amaximum of 8' O.C. spacing perpendicular to the joists. For example, an 18' joist span would require two bridgingruns at 6' O.C. spacing.

Where the sub-floor or decking does not provide lateral support,strap must also be installed on the top flange of the joist.

Block and strap bridging is used to preventjoist rotation and lateral movement.■ Install immediately after joists are erected

and before construction loads are applied.

■ Solid blocking is field cut from track or joist sections.

■ EasyClip™ E-Series™ clips are used to attach blocks to open side of C-Joist.

■ EasyClip™ S-Series™ clips are used to attach blocking to solid side of C-Joist.

Simpson* tension bracing is used to prevent joist compression,flange lateral movement, and rotation. These tension ties areused as an alternative to traditional block and strapping. Tensionties are traditionally used with wood framing, but can also beused with conventional C-joists.

Spacing of tension bracing must be calculated based on neededstrength. In general, bracing is installed at 8' O.C. maximum.

Advantages

Light-gauge steel trusses offer many advantagesover traditional roof framing components. Becauseof steel’s incredible strength, light-gauge trussescan be designed for clear spans over 100'. They caneliminate intermediate bearing walls and createlarge open spaces. Steel trusses not only span far-ther, they permit wider on-center spacing thatresults in additional labor and material savings.

One of steel’s greatest benefits is noncombustibil-ity. Steel will not burn, and does not add fuel to a burning fire. Steel trusses are fully non-combustible and meet even the most stringent fire codes. In many cases they reduceinsurance premiums and possibly eliminate expensive sprinkler systems.

In general, steel provides straighter, tighter and truer framing, resulting in better, longterm performance. Steel isn’t susceptible to rot, insects or mold. It doesn’t warp, twist,bow, shrink or swell like its wood counterpart. Ceilings remain flat, even and virtuallyfree from unsightly cracks and “nail pops.”

Light-gauge trusses can be field assembled using conventional C-studs, or they can beprefabricated in controlled factory environments and delivered directly to your jobsite.Prefabricated trusses offer many advantages over field assembled trusses includingshorter construction cycles, higher quality and consistency.

Metal Truss Fabrication Options

Dietrich Metal Framing provides a number of light-gauge metal truss options to meet your specificrequirements, including prefabricated or field-assembled C-stud trusses.

AEGIS Metal Framing, our joint venture companywith Mitek, provides pre-engineered, prefabricat-ed and UL* rated trusses that are delivered to yoursite ready for installation. The AEGIS** interna-tional fabrication network uses state-of-the-art

Shaftwall/Stairwell

Cavity shaftwall systems are nonload-bearing firerated wall assemblies that provide critical, lifesafety, fire-resistant protection for elevatorshafts, stairwells, vertical chases and mechanicalenclosures. Shaftwalls in elevators and stairwellsare one of the most important wall assemblies ina building. They provide the only means ofhuman egress from the building in an emer-gency. Vertical chases and mechanical enclosureskeep vital communication, power, water, fresh airand exhaust systems intact when a fire occurs.

Cavity shaftwalls are constructed utilizing one oftwo methods: masonry/CMU or light-gauge steeland gypsum. Gypsum drywall shaftwall construc-tion has become the preferred and most widelyused shaftwall assembly. These shaftwalls arelightweight, install faster, and provide lower in-place costs. They also significantly reduce struc-tural framing and foundation costs. Masonryshaftwalls in high-rise buildings historically weighbetween 20 and 45 lbs. per square foot comparedto gypsum assemblies that weigh between 10 and13 lbs. per square foot.

In addition to substantial weight reduction, gypsum shaftwall assemblies can beinstalled from the exterior of the shaft at each floor, eliminating the need for scaf-folding. Shaftwall installation is easy, quick and clean. Light-gauge steel and gypsumassemblies provide fast, lightweight, low-cost and high-performance assemblies.

FIRE-RATEDASSEMBLIES

OVERVIEWFire-rated assemblies provide critical,life safety fire-resistant protection in avariety of wall assemblies in many dif-ferent building types. These assembliescan be constructed from a myriad of dif-ferent building materials. Some of themost common include masonry and acombination of steel and gypsum.

Steel and gypsum assemblies havebecome the preferred and most widelyused fire-rated assemblies. They arelightweight, low-cost, high-performancesystems that significantly reduce overallbuilding weight and construction time.Two of the most common fire-ratedassemblies are Area Separation Wallsand Cavity Shaftwalls.

Area Separation Walls are typically usedto provide two-hour fire-rated protec-tion between adjacent living units inapartment buildings, condominiums,townhouses and multifamily construc-tion. Cavity Shaftwalls are commonlyused to provide fire-resistant protectionfor elevator shafts, stairwells, verticalchases and mechanical enclosures inmost multi-story structures. Cavityshaftwall systems are widely used in low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise buildings.

Dietrich Metal Framing provides fullytested and approved assemblies for botharea separation wall and cavity shaft-wall construction. What makes theDietrich system unique is that it has beentested with almost every gypsum boardand shaft liner manufacturer in thecountry. Unlike competing systems, theDietrich CT Cavity Shaftwall and H-StudSystems provide maximum flexibility tochoose from a variety of board manufacturers. Other systems are onlytested with one company.

This unprecedented flexibility meansquick availability of product at econom-ical costs. It provides you with a choiceand peace of mind knowing you’reusing a tested and approved assembly.

Overview

AreaSeparationWall

Area Separation Wallsare nonload-bearing 2-hour rated vertical wallassemblies that providefire-resistant protectionbetween adjacent livingunits in apartment

buildings, condominiums and townhouses. Area SeparationWalls are also referred to as party walls, firewalls, multi-fam-ily walls and H-Stud assemblies.

Area Separation Walls are assembled between two independ-ent walls to form a commonly shared party wall that extendsfrom the foundation through the roofline. The walls areassembled with two 1" thick gypsum panel liners verticallyinstalled between 2" H-Studs spaced 24" O.C. C-Runners or H-Tracks are installed at the top and bottom of the walls andback-to-back between vertically stacked panels. Overallstacked area separation wall assembly cannot exceed 50'.

Aluminum Breakaway Clips are used to secure the AreaSeparation Wall in place to both sides of the floor, roof andtruss line. The clips on the fire side are intended to meltunder the intense heat during a fire, thus enabling a fire-damaged structure to collapse while keeping the fire wallbarrier in place to protect the adjacent unit. This is com-monly referred to as a “controlled collapse.”

Area Separation Wall assemblies are a great alternative tomasonry construction. The H-stud system is at least 50%lighter than masonry walls, installs faster, is STC sound ratedand increases valuable floor space compared to 8" – 12"wide masonry walls.

Head of Wall

It’s a real challenge these days meeting head-of-wall codesfor fire stop and life safety while maintaining the ability toabsorb vertical movement in high-rise buildings. SLP-TRK®

slotted track is the solution. SLP-TRK® slotted track providesa positive attachment for wall strength and allows for verti-cal movement.

SLP-TRK® Systems comply with the toughest fire coderequirements in North America, if not the world. It has beentested with a variety of leading fire-stop products, and hasoutperformed the requirements of stringent fire and hosestream testing ASTM E 119, ASTM E 814. SLP-TRK® slottedtrack also has met and exceeded the latest seismic cyclingstandards found in UL2079 and ASTM E 1966. SLP-TRK® cur-rently has over 100 UL™ listings.

“Dietrich’s shaftwall systemgives me the flexibility to choose from a variety of gypsum companies, which means more profit to my bottom line.”— Brad Bryant, Baker Drywall

Dietrich CT Cavity Shaftwall Studs are rigid high- performancemembers engineered to maintain shaftwall integrity. CT Studs areavailable in 2-1/2", 4" and 6" wide members. CT Studs arepunched with 1" circular knockouts at 12" O.C. for easyinstallation of conduit or other mechanical service lines.

A unique feature of the CT Stud is the slotting in the web of the stud. Independent laboratory tests havedemonstrated that these slots improved resistance to thermal and noise transmissions effectively.

CT Studs are designed for use with 1" thick Gypsum LinerPanels. CT Studs are friction-fitted between top and bottom J-Tabbed Track. Gypsum liner panels are inserted into the studflanges. The flanges provide an airtight friction fit along the length of the panel that eliminates rattling. Studs areautomatically spaced 24" O.C. maximum once 1" shaft linerpanels are friction-fit into place. The system is finished withone or two layer(s) of gypsum board to complete and achievethe designated fire rating.

H-Studs are a key framing component and add structural integrity to area-separation wall assemblies.

Dietrich aluminum breakaway clips are used as part of the H-Stud Area Separation Wall assembly and are designed to meltand break away when exposed to fire. The clips are used tohold the Area Separation Wall assembly in place at the floorroof and truss line between adjacent units. Should a fire break

out in one unit, the Aluminum Breakaway Clips on the fire-ridden side of the Area Separation Wall will melt, allowing thewall structure for that side to collapse. The breakaway clips onthe non-fire side will remain intact and hold the AreaSeparation Wall in place as a barrier to contain the fire to theunit of origin.

VINYL BEADS& TRIMS

OVERVIEWVinyl beads and trims are designedto provide superior, long-lasting inte-rior finishes for drywall and veneerplaster. These beads and trims areused to provide durable, corrosion-and impact-resistant edges, corners,arches, curvatures and numerousother finishing applications. Vinylbeads and trims continue to grow inpopularity because they give archi-tects, interior designers and contrac-tors much more flexibility to createdramatic, sweeping arches, curva-tures and distinctive architecturaldetails.

Advantages

Durability—Vinyl accessories are impervious to corrosion when coated with veneerplaster, wet joint compounds or when placed in contact with steel or aluminum frames.Vinyl accessories do not contain plasticizers that could migrate to the surface.

Impact Resistance—Due to superior impact resistance, rigid vinyl accessories areresistant to dents and kinks of corners and edges, during and after construction.

Corrosion Resistance—Vinyl accessories are impervious to rust, corrosion, galvaniccorrosion, electrolysis, and are not affected by fast-setting joint compounds or toppingcompounds.

Solid Color—Standard color is white for a shadow-free finish.

Paint Adhesion Properties—Excellent, no priming is required.

Ignition Resistance—Rigid vinyl is self-extinguishing, and will not continue to sup-port combustion once flame source is removed; therefore, it will not cause a fire to re-start or spread. It offers better resistance to burning than many other common building materials.

Expansion and Contraction—Vinyl accessories are manufactured with perforationsin the flanges to enable finishing compounds or veneer plaster to flow through andbond to wallboard. Perforated flanges remain embedded in matrix to reinforce theedges and corners. These factors, along with the fastening of accessories to the sub-strate prior to coating, make the accessories part of the building unit and therefore willmove with it as the temperature changes, consequently the coefficient of expansion ofrigid vinyl has little or no bearing on the installation.


OverviewVinyl Beads & Trim

s Overview


Styles & Types

Vinyl Corner Bead is arigid, easy-to-apply cor-ner reinforcement thatmay be nail or stapleapplied. Flanges are 1-1/4" wide and are per-forated to aid joint com-pound bond. Rigid vinylresists dents, thermaltransmission and willnot corrode.

Vinyl Splayed Bullnose Corner Bead fits off-angle cor-ners that typically are 120˚–135˚.

1-1/4" Archway Corner Bead has the same properties asregular 1-1/4" vinyl corner bead, plus it’s manufactured withnotched tabs on one flange to permit flexible forming ofarchway edges. Available in 8' and 10' lengths.

All Dietrich vinyl products readily accept finish treatmentssuch as paint and spray or roll-on textures.

90˚ Bullnose Corner Bead comes in a choice of 3/4" ormore dramatic 1-1/2" radius to make rounded, more con-temporary corners. Fits 90˚ corners.

Vinyl 90˚ Bullnose Archway Corner Bead provides abullnose treatment around arched openings. Tabs enablebead to be arched to a 10" inside radius or 18" outsideradius.

3/4" Vinyl Bullnose Kerfed is the same as regular 3/4"radius bead, except it is kerfed so that the leg fits the chan-nel of door and window jambs for smooth, roundedencasement.

Vinyl J-Trim provides a finished edge at gypsum boardstops around door and window openings and at ceilingintersections. Requires no joint compound. Rigid vinyl is nota thermal transmitter and helps stop condensation whereboard terminates at exterior metal surfaces, such as windowframes and mullions. It’s rustproof and dent resistant.

Rip Bead™ vinyl beadsproduce an exceptionalfinish at the intersectionof gypsum board andceiling grid. Once jointcompound is applied,the tear-away strip isremoved, producing acrisp, clean edge.

Vinyl L-Stop Bead is aconvenient finished ter-

mination for gypsum panel surfaces. Bead may be nail or sta-ple attached to the stud through the bead flange. The flangeis 1-1/4" wide and is perforated to aid joint compound bond.Rigid vinyl is rust proof and dent resistant. Surface is treatedwith an alkyd texture to help joint compound and paintadhere.

PAPER-FACEDBEADS & TRIMS

OVERVIEWPaper-faced metal beads and trimscombine galvanized metal cornerand edge protection with high-gradepaper tape to provide cost-effective,problem-free, compound-embeddeddrywall finishing. Paper-faced beadsvirtually eliminate any potential forcorner and edge cracking by movingor floating with the gypsum inde-pendent of framing movement or set-tling. The result is a precise, high-quality, straight and smooth finish,free from unsightly cracks, chips andnail pops.

Tape-on paper-faced beads andtrims are not fastened directly to theframing like conventional nail-onbead. Joint compound is applied tothe underside of the paper flanges,aligned and pressed into place. Jointcompound seeps through perforatedholes in the paper to provide superi-or adhesion and bonding to the gyp-sum paper.

Nail-on paper-faced beads and trimsare also available. Nail-on trims areused when nailing or mechanicalfastening is desired or required, butpaper facing is preferred for appli-cation at joint treatment.

Advantages

Goldline* paper-faced products are recognized as the premier paper-faced finishingproducts. Here are a few of the reasons many finishers simply demand Goldline®:

■ Virtually impervious to scuffing and “fluffing-up.”

■ Will not be damaged by sanding.

■ Does not require nose coating.

■ Uniformly durable throughout the paper’s thickness.

■ Enhanced compound bonding during application.

■ Enhanced paintability.

■ Fewer call backs for repairs.

■ The smoothest finish available.

■ The most dimensionally stable paper in the industry.

■ Superior adhesion, bonding and paintability.


Extra Wide Leg

Standard Leg

Goldline* paper-faced tape-on beads combine galvanized metal corner and edge protectionwith high-grade paper tape to provide cost-effective, problem-free outside drywall cornerfinishing. Paper-faced beads are available in a number of different widths to suit mostwallboard applications. Wider flange beads are used to cover imperfect corners, while shorter flanges are used to achieve maximum efficiency.

Paper-faced beads virtually eliminate corner cracks, edge chips and nail pops. These beads are applied using joint compound that embeds the paper bead to the wallboard paper. Nomechanical fasteners like nails, screws, staples or crimps are used. Although paper-faced beadsdo cost more compared to traditional metal and vinyl, they provide reduced labor and materialsby reducing the amount of joint compound needed and also eliminate one pass of finishing.

VENEER,STUCCO &PLASTER

BEADS & TRIMSOVERVIEW

Veneer plaster continues to grow inpopularity as a wall finishing system.The speed of application for one-coatsystems makes it competitive withdrywall, and the added smoothnessof two-coat veneer provides a look ofluxury and adds ease to decorating.In either case, the toughness ofveneer plaster makes walls moredurable and resistant to scuffs,gouges and impact damage.

Having the right metal trims, controljoints and corner reinforcements isan integral part of the wall system’sappearance and long-term perform-ance. That’s why Dietrich MetalFraming takes such care in the man-ufacturing of these components. Ourhistory in the manufacturing ofmetal lath and accessories for con-ventional plaster gives us uniqueknowledge of this growing trade andthe product quality that is requiredto do the job right.

Advantages

Strength—Veneer and plaster are used to cre-ate strong, durable finishes resistant to scuffs,gouges, dents and abrasions.

Superior Finish—Expanded mesh and rigidpronounced edges provide excellent keyingand exacting grounds for superior bonding andfinishing to minimize cracks and shadowing.

Corrosion Resistant—Galvanized or zinc formaximum corrosion protection. Zinc productsshould be used in exterior applications.

As the largest specialty wallboard, metal, and ceilings distributor in the United States, servicing the needs of commercial contractors from coast tocoast, L&W Supply looks to Dietrich Metal Framingas a key vendor to supply a broad metal framingand accessory product offering, satisfying our cus-tomers’ job requirements in a timely manner. And,they have been doing that for over 20 years.— Michael C. Lorimer

OverviewVeneer, Stucco & Plaster Beads & Trim

s Overview

Styles & Types

Veneer Corner Beadsare designed to protectinterior corners and to establish suitablegrounds for veneer finishes.

Veneer Trims 701Aand 801A are J-shapedtrims that come in differ-

ent depths and grounds to accommodate veneer finishes.Sized to fit 1/2" and 5/8" gypsum plaster base, 701A groundsare 3/32" for two-coat veneer and 801A grounds are 1/16" forone-coat veneer plaster. Also available in zinc for cementboard applications.

Veneer Trims 701B and 801B are L-shaped trims designedfor use at the junction of veneer gypsum board base withrough concrete or masonry ceilings. They are sized to fit 1/2"and 5/8" gypsum board plaster base. 701B grounds are 3/32"for two-coat veneer, and 801B grounds are 1/16" for one-coatveneer plaster. Use zinc finish for exterior applications.

Expanded Corner Beads are designed to protect outsidecorners and to establish suitable grounds for plaster and stuc-co finishes.

Cornerite should be used on interior corner angles wherethe lath has been spliced or where additional reinforcement isdesired. It should be wire tied to the lath using 18-gauge wire.

Strip Lath is a flat expanded metal strip used as plaster rein-forcement over joints of non-metallic lathing bases and wheredissimilar bases join. It’s commonly attached diagonally at thecorners of doors, windows or areas prone to cracks.

Expanded Flange Casing Beads are used to ensure theproper stucco thickness. They are recommended for use withmetal lath and masonry units.

Dietrich #66 ShortFlange Casing Beadsare used as a universalplaster stop at door andwindow openings, wallterminations and inter-sections.

Control & ExpansionJoints are used in largeuninterrupted plasteredareas to relieve stressand minimize cracking.

Foundat ion WeepScreeds protect thestop edges of stucco atthe sill plate line. Holesin the flange allow someweeping, but the angularsurface of the bead isdesigned to facilitate theegress of moisturebehind the cementitiousmembrane.

1-3/8" J-Weep is primarily used as a starter track at the bot-tom of the wall for 3/8" one-coat stucco over 1" foam.

Mini-Bead™ 900 Zinc is a zinc bead used for external cornerreinforcements. It has 1-1/4" wide fine-mesh expanded flangestapered along outer edges for improved concealment and eas-ier finishing with E.I.F.S. basecoats and finishes.

NOTE: Dietrich Metal Framing recommends the use ofzinc or vinyl for all exterior applications.

CAUTION: Joints and corners are a potential point ofwater intrusion. Dietrich strongly recommends build-ing paper be placed behind all joints and corners.Also, a bead of high-quality caulking should beapplied under the joints prior to the attachment of thematerials.

.A.7. Foundation Weep Screed (FH

A7)


Dietrich F.H.A.7. foundation weep screed protects the stop edges of stucco and exterior insulated finish system materials at the sillplate. It’s commonly referred to as F.H.A. Screed because it meets all pertinent F.H.A. requirements as part of a drainage system forexterior stucco applications. The 3-1/2" nailing flange serves as a straight-edge stop at the sill plate line and flashing when water-resistant paper or paper-backed lath is installed over the flange.

The bottom of the vertical nailing flange must terminate at or below the bottom of the sill plate or the bottom of the shear panel.This will ensure a tight connection between the bottom flange of the weep screed and the foundation. Bonding holes are punchedin the 7/8" or 1-3/8" V-grounds to enable keying. The weeping occurs along the surface of the angular bead. Also available withoutbonding holes and in 28 gauge (FHAE) for non-code work.

The International Building Code (IBC)* requires that all foundation screeds have a 3-1/2" nailing flange, weep holes and aminimum thickness of 26-gauge steel.

METALLATH

OVERVIEWMetal lath and plaster systems havebeen used for many years in bothresidential and commercial appli-cations. Plaster finishes provide asmooth, high-quality wall surface,resistant to high impact and abra-sion. Metal lath is used as a substrateto create a strong mechanical bondwith plaster and stucco, and is usedon interior and exterior walls, ceil-ings, soffits, fascia and ceramic tileunderlayment.

Advantages

Strength—Metal lath embedded with the plaster provides superior strength and reinforcement.

Flexibility—Readily shaped to ornamental contours to a degree not possible withother plaster bases.

Fire Resistance—When used with gypsum plaster, metal lath provides excellent fire-resistant construction: up to two hours for partitions and four hours for ceilings andcolumn fireproofing.

Security—Metal lath and plaster surfaces are extremely difficult to penetrate. Theyprovide excellent protection against break-through.

Weight per Square YardMetal lath is commonly referred to in weight persquare yard. Each nominally sized 27" x 96" sheetequates to 2 square yards or 18 square feet persheet. Lath is available in three different weights:

1.75 lbs./sq. yd.—commonly used as an underlay-ment in interior ceramic tile applications and alsowith selected proprietary one-coat stucco systems.2.5 lbs./sq. yd.—commonly used as a substratefor ornamental and contour gypsum plaster orportland cement stucco.3.4 lbs./sq. yd.—commonly used for two- andthree-coat exterior stucco applications.NOTE: Not all weights are recommended for allapplications. Contact your Dietrich CustomerCare Representative for assistance.

Styles

Metal lath is available in a variety of differentstyles for various applications. Dietrich™ uses alettering system incorporated into the productcode to indicate available styles.

M—Flat Diamond Mesh

D—Dimpled Self Furring

V—V-Groove Self Furring

R—3/8" High Rib for Maximum Rigidity


OverviewM

etal Lath Overview


Paper-BackedOffset Options

Metal lath is availablebacked with asphalt sat-urated paper for appli-cations requiring amoisture barrier. Paperconforms to U.S.Federal SpecificationUU-B-790a, type 1,

grade D, style 2. Dietrich uses a lettering system incorporat-ed into the product code to indicate available offsets.

Types

Junior Diamond Mesh Lath is used as a substrate for gyp-sum plaster or for Portland cement plaster stucco on eitherinterior or exterior wall, ceiling, soffit and fascia surfaces, andcan be used under ceramic tile in wall ceiling and floor applica-tions. It’s useful in all general-purpose applications, and is thebest lath available for ornamental work and contoured surfaces.

Junior Diamond Mesh Lath—Asphalt Paper Backed isused in applications where a moisture barrier is required.Care should be taken to make sure paper overlaps paper andmetal overlaps metal in a shingle-like manner during appli-cation. Dietrich’s paper backing extends beyond the meshto accommodate shingling application. For external applica-tion, 3.4 lb./sq. yd. lath is recommended.

Self-Furring Junior Diamond Mesh Lath is attached tosubstrate through the dimple that furs the lath surface awayfrom a solid substrate. This lath is especially useful as a stuc-co base or for column fireproofing or replastering over oldsurfaces. Self-furred lath is required over all solid surfaces.

Self-Furring Junior Diamond Mesh Lath-AsphaltPaper Backed is used where a moisture barrier is required.It’s attached in the same manner, but care should be takento make sure paper overlaps paper during application.

3/8" Riblath is the most rigid of all and provides the addedsupport required when framing is more than 16" O.C. butless than or equal to 24" O.C. In wall and ceiling applications,it must be attached in the same manner as 4-Mesh Riblath.Due to 3/8" rib, minimum ground thickness must be 1".

Barrier Mesh is a tough, rigid heavy-gauge expanded meshused behind common wall substrates to protect against break-ins and break-outs. This high-strength security mesh is tough tosmash or cut and safeguards walls and ceilings in homes, apart-ments, offices, stores, storage areas and correctional facilities.

Installation

Lath should be applied with the longdimension across supports and with endjoints staggered between courses. Theends of the mesh lath should be lapped 1",and the sides should be lapped at least1/2". Check lap minimums required bylocal code. Nail, screw or staple-attachmesh lath on walls, so that the lower sheetsoverlap the upper sheets. Lath also may bewire tied to the furring channel for ceilingapplications. If an end lap should occurbetween supports, the two sheets should

be laced or tied using 18-gauge tie wire. Secure lath to all sup-ports at intervals not exceeding 6". Mesh lath should beformed into corners and carried out onto an abutting surface.Where this is not possible, Cornerite™, an internal plasterangle reinforcement should be used.

Paper-Back Installation

Installation of paper-backed lath is best accomplished whenmetal-to-metal and paper-to-paper contact is maintained.Dietrich Metal Framing uses asphalt-saturated paper meet-ing U.S. Federal Spec. UU-B-790a as backing on metal lathproducts. This paper provides a water- resistant barrier thatis a vapor-permeable backing consistent with grade D, style2 paper (other grades and styles are available upon request).Minimum lap requirement for Jr. Diamond Mesh, Self-Furring can be easily attained with “P” (paper offset 1" onone side and one end). ASTM C-1063, requires a 2" mini-mum paper lap on all sides. Dietrich’s paper offset option“O” conforms to this specification. Make sure to consultyour local building code to ensure proper compliance.

*Available for non-code work. The International BuildingCode (IBC) requires a 2" paper lap per ASTM C 1063-99.

P—Paper is offset by 1" on one sideand one end.*

O—Paper is offset by 2" on one sideand one end.

Dietrich Junior™ diamond mesh lath is used as a substrate forgypsum plaster or for Portland cement plaster stucco oneither interior or exterior walls, ceilings, soffit and fasciasurfaces, and can be used under ceramic tile in wall, ceilingand floor applications. It’s useful in all general-purposeapplications and is the best lath available for ornamentalwork and contoured surfaces.

Galvanized steel sheets are slit and expanded to form smalldiamond mesh openings (over 11,000 per square yard).This large number of openings provides superior stucco

bonding. Diamond mesh lath is easily cut and can beformed to accommodate curved surfaces includingornamental, contour plastering. All sheets are flat 27" x 96"(nominal) rectangles with squared ends and smooth edgesthat allow for efficient installation and consistent lapping.

*Asphalt paper-backed lath is available in a variety of offsetsfor various applications requiring a moisture barrier. Paperconforms to Federal Specification UU-B-790A; type 1, gradeD, style 2 and type 1, grade B, style 1a.

Dietrich self-furring dimpled lath is manufactured withapproximately 1/4" deep dimples that raises diamond meshaway from solid surfaces to enable thorough plaster orstucco penetration into and behind the lath for superiormechanical bonding. The approximately 1/4" dimples arespaced every 1-1/2" O.C. over the entire 27" x 96" rectangularsheet. This pattern, with approximately 11,000 keys persquare yard, serves to hold lath approximately 1/4" awayfrom the surface, enabling the plaster to penetrate fully andbond over solid surfaces like concrete, cement board,column fireproofing, masonry and replastering over oldsurfaces. To maintain the designed furring characteristics,fasteners must be applied within the dimple cavity.

Dimpled Lath is also available with an asphalt paper-backing for applications that require a moisture barrier. The glue-attached asphalt-saturated building paper also ensures aconsistent plaster or stucco depth as the paper preventsexcessive plaster waste and stucco thickness variation. Careshould be taken to make sure paper overlaps paper in ashingle-like manner during application.

Materials and ResourcesMaterials & Resources Credit 4: Recycled Contentintends to increase demand for building products thatincorporate recycled content materials, therefore reducing impacts resulting from extraction and processing of new virgin materials. As discussed anddemonstrated below, steel building products contributepositively toward earning points under Credit 4.1 andCredit 4.2. The following is required by LEED Version 2.2:

Credit 4.1 (1 point) "Use materials with recycled contentsuch that the sum of post-consumer recycled contentplus one-half of the pre-consumer content constitutes atleast 10% of the total value of the materials in the project."

Credit 4.2 (1 point) "Use materials with recycled contentsuch that the sum of post-consumer recycled contentplus one-half of the pre-consumer content constitutes atleast 20% of the total value of the materials in the project."

"The value of the recycled content portion of a materialor furnishing shall be determined by dividing the weightof recycled content in the item by the total weight of allmaterial in the item, then multiplying the resulting percentage by the total value of the item." Since steel(the material) and steel (the building product) are thesame, the value of the steel building product is directlymultiplied by steel's recycled content, or:

Steel Recycled Content Value = (Value of Steel Product)(Post-Consumer % + 1/2 Pre-Consumer %)

The formula above calculates the post-consumer andpre-consumer recycled content percentages for NorthAmerican steel building products. These percentagesand values of steel building products are easily enteredinto the LEED Letter Template spreadsheet for calculation. To illustrate the application of these steelrecycled content values to LEED, manual calculations areshown below for typical Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) andElectric Arc Furnace (EAF) steel building products withnominal $10,000 purchases, using 2005 data. Steelbuilding products include light gauge steel framing,structural steel framing (wide flange beams, channels,angles, etc.), rebar, roofing, siding, decking, doors andsashes, windows, ductwork, pipe, fixtures, hardware(hinges, handles, braces, screws, nails), culverts, stormdrains, and manhole covers.

BOF Steel Recycled Content Value for Typical Product:

Light Gauge Steel FramingValue = ($10,000) (24.6% + 1/2 6.6%) = ($10,000)

(27.9%) = $2,790(Exceeds 10% and 20% goals)

EAF Steel Recycled Content Value for Typical Product:

Wide Flange Structural Steel FramingValue = ($10,000) (56.6% + 1/2 32.7%) = ($10,000)

(72.95%) = $7,295(Exceeds 10% and 20% goals)
