Notes for Allowable Screw Design Values N/A
  • Allowable screw connection capacities are based on Section E4 of the AISI S100-12 Specification.
  • When connecting materials of different steel thicknesses or tensile strengths, use the lowest values. Tabulated values assume two sheets of equal thickness are connected.
  • Screw shear and tension capacities were developed using published screw manufacturer data and evaluation reports available at the time of publication.
  • Screw capacities are based on Allowable Strength Design (ASD) and include a safety factor of 3.0.
  • When multiple fasteners are used, screws are assumed to have a center-to-center spacing of at least three times the nominal diameter (d).
  • Screws are assumed to have a center-of-screw to edge-of-steel dimension of at least 1-1/2 times the nominal diameter (d) of the screw.
  • Tension capacity is based on the lesser of pullout capacity in sheet closest to screw tip, or pullover capacity for sheet closest to screw head (using head diameter).
  • Screw capacities are governed by a conservative estimate of screw capacity, not by sheet steel failure.
  • For higher screw capacities, especially for screw strength, use specific screws from specific manufacturer. See manufacturer’s data for specific allowable values and installation instructions.
Construction Advantages N/A
  • High-strength steel combined with low-profile flange stiffening grooves and double offset web planking increases strength and provides greater limiting heights
  • Diamond-embossed web creates stiffness, reducing flange fade and screw spinout during drywall installation
  • Strong, lightweight stud and track cuts and handles easier than conventional flat steel studs
  • Flange grooves provide sight line for drywall alignment and aid in positioning screws at drywall joints to maintain the 3/8" edge requirement
  • Web and leg enhancements in ProTRAK® provide straight and rigid legs, making it the best choice for framing walls, headers, soffits, and bulkheads
Design Advantages N/A
  • Designed to meet the additional strength requirements of today's building codes: IBC 2015, AISI (S100), ICC-ES AC86 (2015)
  • Smart Edge™ Technology is an enhancement for producing easier-to-handle steel that reduces the risk of cuts and scrapes
  • UL Classified and listed in over 50 designs, including U419, V438, and chase wall assemblies
  • Exceptional sound performance in over 30 tested sound assemblies
  • Can contribute LEED® points in LEED v4 or LEED 2009. EPD and HPD verifications also available.
  • National availability

Note N/A
  • Calculated properties are based on AISI S100-12, North American Specification for Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members and AISI S220-15, North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing-Nonstructural Members.
  • Effective properties incorporate the strength increase from the cold work of forming as applicable per AISI A7.2.
  • Tabulated gross properties, including torsional properties, are based on full-unreduced cross section of the studs, away from punch outs.
  • Tabulated gross properties, including torsional properties, are based on full-unreduced cross section of the tracks.
  • For deflection calculations, use the effective moment of inertia.
  • Allowable moment includes cold work of forming.
  • Allowable moment is taken as the lowest value based on local or distortional buckling. Distortional buckling strength is based on a k-phi = 0.
  • Web depth for track sections is equal to the nominal height plus two times the design thickness plus the bend radius. Hems on nonstructural track sections are ignored.
