the BENEFITS
of STEEL
Superior and
Uniform Quality
Steel is roll-formed into precise, uniform shapes with exacting
tolerances for consistent material quality. There is no need for
sorting (culling) or special handling to inspect for crown.
Steel studs are straight. They dont warp, twist, bow, split or have knots, which means
straight walls, square corners and doors and windows that open and close properly.
BUILD with

wall cracking or floor squeaking. Steel framing members in wall cavities,
Steel does not rot, promote mold or mildew and is impermeable to termites, vermin attic spaces or crawl spaces that are not
and insects. exposed to water will last over 300
years, per a study conducted in England.
Forensic studies recently conducted on
Oahu residences built over 40 years ago
showed steel wall studs with no visible
signs of corrosion.
Zinc coating protects steel by providing
a physical barrier as well as cathodic
protection to the underlying steel. When
the base is exposed, such as at a cut
or scratch, the steel is cathodically
protected by the sacrificial corrosion of
the zinc coating adjacent to the steel.
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 building
materials like masonry and concrete systems.
Light-gauge framing can reach spans far greater than traditional or engineered
lumber, providing larger open spaces, taller walls and flexible floor plans.
Steel framing lightens structures, reducing foundation requirements and often
reducing 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.

the BENEFITS
of STEEL
...for benefits
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 and
residences 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 lighter
structure with stronger connections results in lower damage from seismic force.
Steels 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 our
commercial buildings, hospitals and schools.

heights including 1-1/4", 2" and 3" legs. The 1-1/4" leg
track is the industry standard. Track is used to align and
secure studs to floors and ceilings, and is also used in
conjunction with studs for constructing openings, headers
and sills. Metal studs are twisted into top and bottom track
and typically screw attached using 7/16" pan head framing
screws.
Like most products, drywall studs and track can be purchased in stock lengths, or custom ordered

Drywall Nonload-Bearing (Nonstructural) Studs (UST-Series)

Featuring UltraSTEEL Framing Technology
Roll-formed from corrosion-resistant galvanized steel that
conforms to ASTM C 645

Pre-punched knockouts for easy installation of electrical,
plumbing and bridging
Available sizes: 1-5/8", 2-1/2", 3-1/2"*, 3-5/8", 4", 5-1/2"* and 6"
Available gauges: 25 EQ, 20 DW EQ and 20 STR EQ*
EQ = equivalent to traditional stud gauges
Drywall UltraSTEEL (nonload-bearing)

interior studs are used in nonload-bearing
(nonstructural) interior wall systems or
partitions that support gypsum wallboard
construction. Drywall metal studs are
available in 25 Gauge EQ (equivalent),
20 DW Gauge EQ (equivalent) and
20 STR Gauge EQ (equivalent) thickness*
and are manufactured utilizing
UltraSTEEL framing technology. In order
to determine the proper gauge, wall
height, stud spacing, deflection limitations Drywall Stud
and lateral loading must all be considered.
Studs are available in a variety of web sizes and can be ordered in stock and custom lengths. Metal studs are twisted into the top and
bottom track and either friction fit, crimped or screw attached at 12", 16" or 24" on center spacing.
In contrast to wood studs, metal studs will not warp, twist or bow resulting in straighter walls free from cracks and nail pops. Metal
studs are impervious to insects, mold and rot. They are noncombustible and will not add fuel to a fire.

*The term Effective Thickness was created by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to establish a minimum thickness measurement after the UltraSTEEL manufacturing process
has 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 control
process is verified by independent third party UL representatives, who make regular unannounced visits to Dietrichs manufacturing facilities to assure full compliance with
UL established quality control standards.

Notes: Section properties are determined in accordance with AISI-NASPEC 2001.
Section properties are conservatively calculated using the thickness and yield strength of the base material, prior to the Dietrich UltraSTEEL forming process.
Calculated effective moment of inertia (Ixe) is based on serviceability determination.
Effective section properties and moment capacity did not incorporate stress increase as a result of cold work of forming.
* Depth over thickness ratio (h/t) is greater than 300.
Yield Strength = 40 ksi

The Spazzer 9200 spacer bar saves time and materials by eliminating the cost of custom head
tracks 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 the
bow that often occurs in tall interior studs.

channel is installed vertically to the wall surface using
concrete nails or power-driven fasteners. Gypsum panels
are then screw-attached to the furring channels. In ceiling
applications, furring channels can be attached directly to
the underside of the building
structure using tie wire, screws or
power-driven fasteners. Heavier-
gauge furring enables greater spans
and loading capacity. 18- or 16-
gauge furring is commonly used
for purlins in exterior applications.

One of the most efficient low-cost

methods of reducing sound

Resilient Channels (RC-Series) for Walls and Ceilings
or ceiling assemblies.
Lab-certified STC-rated up to 61
Single and double leg channels RCUR
RC Deluxe (RCSD) has extra-wide screw
surface for easy attachment
Available in 12 lengths
Dietrich resilient channel is one of the most efficient

low-cost methods developed to reduce transmission of
airborne sound through partition and ceiling assemblies.
The resilient channel dampens sound waves effectively,
dissipating the energy and reducing sound transmission by
suspending gypsum wallboard 1/2" from the stud or joist.
Sound absorption can be maximized by utilizing sound
attenuation blankets within the wall or floor cavity.
RC Deluxe
Resilient channel is manufactured from 25- and 20-gauge RCSDSTC Rating up to 61
corrosion-resistant galvanized steel and is available with
single or double legs. The single leg resilient channel is
available 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 commonly
used in wall applications. Dietrich RC Deluxe resilient
channel (RCSD) is the preferred resilient channel in many
applications because of its extra-wide 1-1/2" screw flange.
The extra-wide flange provides added rigidity and a wider
surface for faster and easier installation of sheathing
materials.
Dietrich double leg resilient channel (RCDN/RCDE)
has two legs for rapid installation. Double leg resilient
installation is typically used for ceiling applications with
multiple layers of gypsum board. Double leg resilient is Double Leg Resilient

deflection system.
DoubleTrack (Overtrack) Systems (OT-Series)
DoubleTrack
Eliminates bridging.
Requires custom top track and longer lead times.
A DoubleTrack system is a two-piece assembly that

accommodates deflection of exterior curtain walls. A
custom-made deep leg outer track is installed to the
underside of the floor deck. A wall assembly is constructed Long Leg Track
on the floor and slid into place. The wall assembly is built
to allow a gap at the top for deflection.
The track-over-track assembly, although still used, is
becoming less and less common. The development of
innovative deflection systems like the SLP-TRK* System
(page 66) has significantly improved and streamlined
the assembly process. DoubleTrack deflection assemblies
cannot be used in axial load-bearing stud conditions or
above continuous window spandrels.

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 Patent Pending
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.

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.

Typical Interior
ProX Header Framing System
Wall Openings
Brady ProX has become an industry
standard for all wall openings.
The ProX is ideal for all types of door,
window, shaftwall, HVAC, and ventilation
openings. This simple system has applicationon
to a wide range of openings and can carry
greater loads with less steel. The contractorr

Dietrich slide clips are used to attach exterior

curtain-wall studs to the building structure and
provide for vertical building movement
independent of the cold-formed steel framing.
Slide clips are used in by-pass situations and are
normally welded or otherwise fastened to the
vertical leg of a structural angle at the floor or roof
edge. Normally a stand-off exists between the
structural angle and the inside flange of the
curtain-wall stud. This will require the installation
of an extra stud piece to bridge the stand-off. In
order to avoid the extra installation costs, Dietrich
Fast Clip products are recommended in place of
the SD.

and axial loads. Block and
strapping is typically used
when wall studs exceed
6". U-Channel or the
Spazzer bar does not
provide sufficient bracing
for members wider than
6". Both stud flanges must
be attached to top and bottom runner flanges to provide proper
end support. Floor and ceiling runners must also be anchored
securely to the structure. To utilize the studs load carrying
capacity fully, horizontal bracing must be installed at proper
intervals.
Lateral bracing consists of a field-cut stud or track for solid blocking
and steel strap bracing on both flanges of the studs. Solid blocking
is placed at each end of the wall, adjacent to wall openings and 8'
O.C. maximum. The blocking is attached to each adjacent stud via
EasyClip E- or S- Series clips, or when a track is used, the flanges
are cut, the web bent and a minimum 4" overlap is used to secure
the track block to the studs. Strap bracing, 2" wide and 20-gauge
(33 mil) minimum, is fastened to each solid block and stud flange.
Solid Blocking (CS/TS)

Blocking is typically field cut from the same or heavier excess track stock and secured between wall studs. Stud stock is also an option. Studs are attached using EasyClip
Clip Angles (S-Series). Blocking should be installed in the first and last two bays and every 8 feet in between.

from corrosion-resistant galvanized steel. Steel joists offer
consistent quality, predictable performance and high strength
to weight ratio, and they are dimensionally stable. They wont
expand, contract or shrink; they wont warp, crack or twist.
Steel joists integrate easily with other building materials such
as structural steel, concrete, ICF and wood construction.
Joists can be ordered in standard lengths or to your exact
specifications to minimize waste. Consult the Dietrich Technical

Structural
Blocking
Dietrich TradeReady structural blocking is the third

component of the TradeReady steel floor system. Structural
blocking is pre-cut to fit securely between the underside of
the floor joists to prevent joist rotation. Structural blocking
is an economical alternative to cross bracing, X-bracing or
strapping. A continuous row of blocking should be installed
every 8' O.C. maximum and staggered for easy attachment.
Caution: In order to prevent joist rolling, the TDSB
blocking must be tied into the structure or otherwise braced
against lateral movement.
Note: TDSB blocking is not required if sheathing is applied
to the joists top and bottom.

EasyClip EasyClip and at a maximum
S-Series E-Series of 8' O.C. along
the strap, over all interior supports and adjacent to floor
openings. 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 usually
provided by sub floor or deck material.
Spacing of bridging must be calculated based on the
required strength. In general, bridging is installed at a
maximum of 8' O.C. spacing perpendicular to the joists.
For example, an 18' joist span would require two bridging
runs 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.

CT Stud
Fully tested with most major gypsum manufacturers.
Dietrich CT Cavity Shaftwall Studs are rigid high- performance

members engineered to maintain shaftwall integrity. CT Studs are
available in 2-1/2", 4" and 6" wide members. CT Studs are
punched with 1" circular knockouts at 12" O.C. for easy
installation 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 have
demonstrated that these slots improved resistance
to thermal and noise transmissions effectively.
CT Studs are designed for use with 1" thick Gypsum Liner
Panels. CT Studs are friction-fitted between top and bottom
J-Tabbed Track. Gypsum liner panels are inserted into the stud
flanges. The flanges provide an airtight friction fit along
the length of the panel that eliminates rattling. Studs are
automatically spaced 24" O.C. maximum once 1" shaft liner
panels are friction-fit into place. The system is finished with
one or two layer(s) of gypsum board to complete and achieve
the designated fire rating.

J-Tabbed Tracks have unequal legs. The longer leg (available
in 2-1/4" and 3") is installed with the longer leg against the
shaft. The leg provides a backstop for easy installation of the
shaftliner. Three-inch leg track is typically used as jamb struts
around closure details, including duct and door openings,
abutments and intersections.
Dietrich J-Tabbed Track is punched with fold-up tabs every
12". The tabs are easily folded upward to secure gypsum
panel liners in closure details. These tabs reduce framing
components compared to other competing assemblies and
permit faster and more-efficient installation.

ceiling, from floor to ceiling in long partition runs, and from
wall to wall in large ceiling areas. Zinc Control Joints are
manufactured from high-quality pure zinc and can be used
for interior or exterior applications. The 1/4" by 7/16"
opening is protected by plastic tape, which is removed after
joint compound or plaster has been applied and the finish is
completed.
Note: Where fire and sound control are prime
considerations, an approved seal must be installed
behind the control joint.

details. corrosion, electrolysis, and are not affected by fast-setting joint compounds or topping
compounds.
Solid ColorStandard color is white for a shadow-free finish.
Paint Adhesion PropertiesExcellent, no priming is required.
Ignition ResistanceRigid 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 ContractionVinyl accessories are manufactured with perforations
in the flanges to enable finishing compounds or veneer plaster to flow through and
bond to wallboard. Perforated flanges remain embedded in matrix to reinforce the
edges 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 will
move with it as the temperature changes, consequently the coefficient of expansion of
rigid vinyl has little or no bearing on the installation.

Extra Wide Leg
Standard Leg
Goldline* paper-faced tape-on beads combine galvanized metal corner and edge protection
with high-grade paper tape to provide cost-effective, problem-free outside drywall corner
finishing. Paper-faced beads are available in a number of different widths to suit most
wallboard 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. No
mechanical fasteners like nails, screws, staples or crimps are used. Although paper-faced beads
do cost more compared to traditional metal and vinyl, they provide reduced labor and materials
by reducing the amount of joint compound needed and also eliminate one pass of finishing.

walls and ceilings, the Double-J Expansion Control Joint has a 5/16" reveal and rolled
outer edges that allow effective plaster bonding. This helps prevent visible separation
cracks. To ensure the desired finish, plaster must be embedded under rolled edges
and across the 1-1/4" expanded flanges. Plastic tape keeps the reveal clean and is
removed easily after finish application. Ground heights are 1/2", 3/4" and 7/8".
Available in galvanized steel or zinc.

Foundation Weep Screed
Dietrich F.H.A.7. foundation weep screed protects the stop edges of stucco and exterior insulated finish system materials at the sill
plate. Its commonly referred to as F.H.A. Screed because it meets all pertinent F.H.A. requirements as part of a drainage system for
exterior 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 punched
in the 7/8" or 1-3/8" V-grounds to enable keying. The weeping occurs along the surface of the angular bead. Also available without
bonding 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 a
minimum thickness of 26-gauge steel.

Dietrich self-furring dimpled lath is manufactured with

approximately 1/4" deep dimples that raises diamond mesh
away from solid surfaces to enable thorough plaster or
stucco penetration into and behind the lath for superior
mechanical bonding. The approximately 1/4" dimples are
spaced every 1-1/2" O.C. over the entire 27" x 96" rectangular
sheet. This pattern, with approximately 11,000 keys per
square yard, serves to hold lath approximately 1/4" away
from the surface, enabling the plaster to penetrate fully and
bond over solid surfaces like concrete, cement board,
column fireproofing, masonry and replastering over old
surfaces. 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 a
consistent plaster or stucco depth as the paper prevents
excessive plaster waste and stucco thickness variation. Care
should be taken to make sure paper overlaps paper in a
shingle-like manner during application.

**The term Effective Thickness was created by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to establish a minimum thickness
measurement after the UltraSTEEL manufacturing process has 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 control
process is verified by independent third party UL representatives, who make regular unannounced visits to Dietrichs
manufacturing facilities to assure full compliance with UL established quality control standards.
***Color coded product may or may not be available. Varies by market.
Minimum thickness is 95% of the design thickness per AISI code
