Request Information
The two-piece elevator studs arrive in a compressed position to accommodate stocking in a building elevator and then can be extended (telescoped) to the required length at point of installation. This reduces the cost of stocking long studs on floors accessible only by elevators and stairways.

  • In accordance with current building codes and AISI design standards, the 1/3 Stress in release for strength was not used.
  • The composite limiting heights provided in the tables are based on a single layer of 5/8 in. Type X Gypsum Board complying with ASTM C1396 and from the following manufacturers: American Gypsum, Certain Teed, Georgia Pacific, Continental, National Gypsum or USG.
  • The gypsum board must be applied full height in the vertical orientation to each stud flange and installed in accordance with ASTM C754 using minimum No. 6 Type S fine thread Drywall bugle head screws spaced as listed below:
  • Screws spaced a maximum of 12 inch on-center studs.
  • Screws spaced 16 inch on-center to the top and bottom track.
  • No fasteners are required for attaching the stud to the track except as detailed in ASTM C754.

TRAKLOC® Track

TRAKLOC® Track

 N/A TRAKLOC® track has two unique features. The most obvious feature of the TRAKLOC® track is the V-groove rolled into the flanges of the track to match the swaged ends of the TRAKLOC® stud. Next, are the dimples pressed into the center of the web. Together, the V-groove and the dimples provide a positive connection between stud and track without the need for mechanical fasteners.

TRAKLOC® track standard length is 10'-0". Shorter lengths are available for non-standard conditions.

Storage Requirements

Storage Requirements

 N/A TRAKLOC® is a dynamic system consisting of two moving parts. To maintain the telescoping feature of this system, it is important to store TRAKLOC® studs indoors, free of excessive dust and airborne particulates.

Head-of-Wall Deflection Required?

Head-of-Wall Deflection Required ?

 N/A Elevator Studs are not for deflection by themselves. However, deflection can be achieved by using MaxTrak® slotted deflection track or deep leg track with lateral bracing at the head of the wall.

Other Benefits Include

Other Benefits Include

 N/A
  • Significant productivity gains. Adjustable length studs accommodate variances in the deck height without the need to measure or cut studs on the jobsite.
  • Increased safety. Less measuring and cutting results in less trips up and down ladders or scaffolds and reduced use of chop saws.
  • Noise reduction and cleaner jobsite. Eliminating chop saw use allows work to continue during the day in occupied buildings and may reduce requirement for after-hours fire watch. Less cutting results in less scrap and cleaner safer jobsite.

Features and Benefits

Features and Benefits

 N/A
  • Available in 18mil (25ga) 33ksi, 24mil (20EQ) 57ksi, 30mil (20ga DW) 33ksi and 33mil (20ga) 33ksi.
  • Available in 2-1/2", 3-5/8", 4" and 6".
  • For use in non-load-bearing interior walls.
  • Twists and locks into place. Studs can be installed from the ground, greatly reducing time spent climbing ladders and scaffolding.
  • Installation of TRAKLOC® is ICC-ES approved without the use of fasteners to attach the studs to the top or bottom track. ICC-ES Report # ESR-1464.
  • Significant productivity gains are possible versus conventional stud and track framing. This results in substantial installed cost savings!
  • Safer Framing System™ reduces jobsite hazards. Less time spent climbing scaffolds, ladders, lifts and bending over to install screws results in fewer job related injuries and reduced workers’ compensation costs. Less cutting of studs with noisy chop saws.
  • Allows for seismic and live-load vertical interfloor deflection in the stud, not the track. This feature eliminates the need for deflection tracks in fire-rated head-of-wall assemblies.

Addition Information

Addition Information

 N/A TRAKLOC® non-load bearing interior wall system is Intertek Warnock Hersey Design Listed and approved for use in both one and two-hour fire-rated head-of-wall assemblies requiring deflection in accordance with ASTM E119 and ASTM E1966. Intertek Design Listings Nos. on inside back cover.
  • Connected without the use of fasteners
  • Ideal for partition walls that do not go from deck to deck and non-composite "above-grid" wall assemblies that have suspended ceilings, as well as TI (tenant improvement) and remodel applications
  • Less time on lifts/ladders
