how to USEthis MANUAL

This catalog is designed to help you select the right products orsystems for your construction applications. It is the most com-prehensive manual in the industry. This catalog is divided intoten major sections that are color coded for easy reference. A com-prehensive index is also located at the back of the catalog foryour 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 not included in thiscatalog, but are available in the Dietrich Metal Framing™

Technical Design Guide. The design guide includes physical andstructural properties, axial-load, allowable height and joist spantables. The Technical Design Guide is available on our website atwww.dietrichmetalframing.com. The publication is also avail-able from your Dietrich sales representative or by contactingyour nearest sales office.

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 memberdesignation. While the letters define the section type, the

numbers identify web depth, flange width and minimumsteel thickness as shown in the following example.

Dietrich products meet or exceed all SSMA requirements.Care should be taken, however, when substituting mate-rials in place of Dietrich Metal Framing. There is a mis-conception within the construction industry regarding thesubstitution of one manufacturer’s products or materialsfor those of another manufacturer. The assumption is thatall studs of a given size and steel thickness are inter-changeable. 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.

4

Yield Strength, Fy/(PSI or KSI)Yield strength is the property by which thestrength of steel is typically defined. Dietrichproducts are manufactured with steel having ayield point of 33 KSI for all gauges. 50 KSI isavailable in 16, 14 and 12 gauge and must bespecified when ordering. KSI is short for kips persquare inch. One kip is equal to 1,000 pounds.

Protective CoatingNon-structural products have a protective cor-rosion resistant galvanized coating conformingto ASTM Specification A 1003 – G-40 mini-mum coating weight or have a protective coat-ing with an equivalent corrosion resistance. Thiscoating weight is in accordance with the indus-try standard requirements of ASTM C 645.

Structural products have a protective corro-sion resistant galvanized coating conforming toASTM Specification A 1003 – G-60 minimumcoating weight or have a protective coatingwith an equivalent corrosion resistance. Thiscoating weight is in accordance with the indus-try standard requirements of ASTM C 955.

A G-90 coating weight is available on a specialorder basis and must be specified at the time ofordering. A G-90 coating is not considered anindustry standard and may result in additionalcost and extended delivery times.

Product LabelingSkids are clearly identified with master skidlabels that display product, gauge, size, length,piece count, yield strength and any special skidmarkings specified at the time of order.Individual ink jet labeling (including companyname, product, size, length, gauge, coating andyield strength) or embossing is also provided onmany of our structural framing members. UPCbar coding is also available for certain products.

Steel Thickness (Gauge)The steel thickness of a product or componentis referenced in terms of gauge or mils. Thethickness 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 standards and Federal specifications as shown in Certification ofMaterials 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 catalogincludes both for ease of use. One mil is equivalent to 1/1000, (.001) of an inch. The mil thicknessmeasures the uncoated base metal material. A 20-gauge stud measuring the minimum uncoated basemetal 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.

8

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.

■ Significantly lesscostly than wood 2x4sfor nonload-bearing wall framing.

■ Reduces or eliminates callback costs fornail pops, floor squeaks and wall cracksdue to shrinkage. The NAHB estimatesthe average callback costs the builderover $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.

s 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.

Attention: Mr Michael C. Kerner, Manager of Technical Services

Dear Mike,

Our relationship spans many years. This is our twenty-fifth year…and throughout our history, we can say with all

candor that Dietrich Design Group has been a silent partner in aiding us to attain a strong presence in the cold-

formed metal framing sector of the market which we serve. We have said in the past and continue to believe that

our destiny, indeed Dietrich Inc.’s destiny too, rests squarely on the shoulders of Dietrich Design Group.

Dietrich Design Group elevates metal framing from being just another commodity item to essential entity status

through its well-staffed, well-educated, dedicated and committed engineering group, where the byword is the

epitome of professionalism. More often than not, one speaks with a REAL person…and for those few occasions

where a voice message is necessary, human follow-up ALWAYS occurs.

We rely on Dietrich Design Group’s technical support quite dramatically; it is rare that a week passes whereby we

have not effected several communications to various members of your staff. We have NEVER had a negative

experience throughout our association with DDG.

Interior (Drywall) Nonload-Bearing Framing

Dietrich Metal Framing’s nonload-bearing, non-structural or interior framing metal studs andtracks are C-shaped channels, roll-formed fromcorrosion resistant, galvanized steel. These chan-nels are assembled to provide efficient, low costframing for partition walls, ceilings and columnfireproofing. Gypsum wallboard, veneer plasteror traditional lath and plaster is applied to the

metal framing to complete the wall assembly. These assemblies are nonload-bearing,nonstructural wall systems that support gypsum panel construction. They are notdesigned to carry an axial load. Most nonload-bearing, nonstructural walls are con-structed using 25 gauge (18 mils) or 20 gauge (30 mils) stud and track. In addition,22 gauge (27 mils) while less common, is also available.

Dietrich™ 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 web depth. All interior studs have flanges or faces that are knurled forquick screw attachment of drywall or plaster facing materials. Knurling grabs thescrew point to prevent riding (walking) or paper tears. Studs may be spaced at 12",16" or 24" on-center based on wall height. Wall height, stud spacing, framing condi-tion, deflection limitations and lateral load are all factors that must be considered indetermining the correct size and gauge of the applicable product.

Dietrich™ Metal Track (or runner) is available in corresponding sizes and is offered ina variety of leg heights including 1", 1-1/4", 2" and 3" legs. The 1-1/4" leg track is theindustry standard. Additionally, 25 gauge drywall track is available with a hemmed orsafety edge in certain regions. This product (referred to as hemmed track) has a 180˚bend rolled into the exposed edge of the leg to create a smooth, burr-free edge forsafer handling. Track is used to align and secure studs to floors and ceilings, and isalso used in conjunction with studs for constructing openings, headers and sills.Metal studs are twisted into top and bottom track and typically screw attached using7/16" pan head framing screws.

Like most products, drywall studs and track can be purchased in stock lengths, orcustom ordered to match specific job requirements. This flexibility allows the enduser to more efficiently control labor costs at the jobsite.

INTERIORFRAMINGOVERVIEW

Dietrich Metal Framing™ interiorframing products are used in a vari-ety of interior, nonload-bearing con-struction 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 resist-ant galvanized steel that offers sig-nificant protection from the ele-ments. In addition these framingmembers are precision manufac-tured to exacting tolerances thatprovide the framework for superiorconstruction.

Dietrich Metal Framing offers anextensive selection of interior fram-ing products including studs andtracks, furring and resilient chan-nels, deflection products, cornerangles and backing plates.

OverviewInterior Fram

ing Overview

Interior(Drywall)DeflectionTrack Systems

Deflection products andsystems are used in wallassemblies that are sub-jected to deflectionincluding seismic dis-

turbances, foundation settling, and normal head-of-wallcompression. Deflection products allow for vertical move-ment while maintaining wall integrity and fire protection.

A variety of deflection products can be used including:

■ SLP-TRK* Slotted Track.

■ Long Leg Deflection Track with Spazzer®

bridging bar.

■ Long Leg Track with U-Channel and EasyClip™ U-Series™ Clips.

■ Double Track (Overtrack) System.

■ Fast Top™ Clip with Long Leg Deflection Track.

A special benefit of the SLP-TRK® slotted track is that itattaches directly to the under side of roof decks or floor/ceil-ing assemblies, eliminating the need for special cutting orship laps. Firestop caulking or spray applied fireproofing isrequired to achieve fire-rated performance. The SLP-TRK®‚system has been approved for use by ICBO, the City of LosAngeles, the Office of State Wide Health Planning andDevelopment (OSHPD) for California, and New York City.

Interior(Drywall)FramingProducts for variousDrywallFramingAssemblies

Dietrich Metal Framing offers an extensive array of drywallframing products used in various framing conditions andassemblies. Some of the more common applications includewall furring, ceiling and soffit construction, sound controland a host of other supporting partition wall products.

All of these components are manufactured to the highestquality standards. They complement the core stud and trackproduct lines providing the most effective means to a fin-ished assembly.

Interior(Drywall)FramingProducts forbridging/bracing

Bridging and bracing ofinterior nonload-bear-

ing framing can be achieved through various methods.

Three of the more common methods are:

■ 9200 Spazzer® Bar

■ U-Channel and EasyClip™ U-Series™

Support Clips

■ Block and Strap

The purpose of bridging is to provide resistance to lateraland torsional movement of the stud assembly. Bridging isnormally required when:

■ Wall sheathing does not extend to theunderside of 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 LegDeflection Track.

■ When required by certain fire-rated assemblies.

Interior nonload-bearing partitions are not designed to carry axial loads. Limiting heights are based on stress or deflection limits forgiven lateral loads. Height limitations depend on the gauge of the steel used, dimensions of the stud, stud spacing and the allowabledeflection limit. The composite limiting heights include the contribution of the gypsum wallboard sheathing on both sides of the wall.

Spazzer® 9200 (SPZD)

Rapidly installed prenotched, prespacedinterior deflection system that saves timeand eliminates materials.■ Eliminates high material cost of custom-made head tracks.

■ Requires only a single generic Deep Leg track to provide deflection.

■ Facilitates sprayable Intumescent/Elastomeric firestops.

■ Eliminates stud spacing layout at deck.

■ Improves drywall hanging since bow is removed from tall studs.

■ Automatically positions and rigidly holds studs on 16” or 24” centers without fasteners in the head track.

Dietrich™ TradeReady® Spazzer® 9200 is a prenotched, 20-gauge, galvanizedsteel spacer bar engineered to handle deflection at the head track ofinterior nonstructural stud walls. The prenotched slots and gripping powerof the 50-inch bar holds studs into a rigid, accurately laid out gridwork thathas excellent resistance to stud rotation and displacement.

The Spazzer® 9200 spacer bar saves time and materials by eliminating thecost of custom head tracks and the time required to fasten and removescrews or layout stud spacing at the deck. Hanging drywall is also fasterand easier because the Spazzer® 9200 spacer bar eliminates the bow thatoften occurs in tall interior studs.

■ Requires custom top track/longer lead times.

Dietrich™ DoubleTrack™ system is a two-piece top trackassembly that allows for the deflection of floor beam orfloor decks along interior partitions. A custom-made deepleg outer track is installed to the underside of the floordeck. A wall assembly is constructed on the floor then slidinto place. The wall assembly is designed 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 32) has significantly improvedand streamlined the assembly process.

Dietrich™ furring channel is a hat-shaped corrosion-resistant framingcomponent used to furr out masonry walls and ceiling assemblies. Inconcrete wall applications, furring channel is installed vertically to thewall surface using concrete nails or power-driven fasteners. Gypsumpanels are then screw-attached to the furring channels. In ceilingapplications, furring channels can be attached directly to theunderside of the building structure using tie wire, screws or power-driven fasteners. Furringchannel is also used inconjunction with U-Channel,hanger wire and furringchannel clips to form a rigid suspended ceilingframework. Gypsum panels,veneers or metal lath forplaster finishes are attachedto the furring. Heavier-gaugefurring enables greater spansand loading capacity. 18- or 16-gauge furring iscommonly used for purlinsin 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/RCSE) 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/RCSE) is the preferred resilient channel inmany applications because of its extra-wide 1-1/2" screwflange. The extra-wide flange provides added rigidity and awider surface for faster and easier installation of sheathingmaterials.

Dietrich™ double leg resilient channel (RCDN/RCDE) hastwo 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.

Axial Load-Bearing andCurtain-Wall Framing

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 walland roof truss framing. They are designed tocarry both lateral and axial loads. Axial framingmembers provide primary 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.

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 5400 Spazzer® Bridging Bar

■ Long-Leg Track with U-Channel and EasyClip™ U-Series™ Clips

■ 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.


EXTERIORFRAMINGOVERVIEW

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 1/2" 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.

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 Deep 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-deep leg track assembly requires 1-1/2" cold-rolledchannel (CHN) and 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" 16-gauge (EasyClip™ U-Series™) clip angles 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 Double Track 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 62) has significantly improved and streamlined the assembly process. Double track deflection assembliescannot be used in axial load-bearing stud conditions orabove continuous window spandrels.

Traditional, Double Track ortrack-over-track curtain-walldeflection system.■ Eliminates bridging.

■ Requires custom top track/longer lead times.

Dietrich™ L-Headers are prefabricated light-gauge 90˚ L-sectionsthat are used in load-bearing wall framing. L-headers slide easilyinto place and eliminate the labor-intensive process of built-upfield-assembled headers. L-headers may not work in all loadingsituations. Proper loading comparisons should be examined,especially when considering up-lift loads. L-headers may beinstalled as single, one header one side, or double, two headers,one on both sides.

Strapping (DT Series™)

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™

S-Series™ Clip Angles. Blocking should be installed in the first and last two bays and every 8 feet in between.

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 embed plates be installed prior to pouring the concretefoundation. A heavy steel assembly is then welded to theembed 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.

Consult Dietrich’s Technical Design Guide for physical and structural properties, span charts andload tables.

Rim


Next-generation TradeReady® Rim has preformed tabs atstandard spacings for rapid and easy installation of TradeReady® Steel Joists.■ Rims have preformed tabs at 12”, 16”, 19.2” or 24” intervals

that eliminate layout.■ Preformed tabs are prepunched for easy, fast and accurate

fastener attachment.■ Eliminates or drastically reduces support clips, joist hangers and web stiffeners.■ Standard 16‘ lengths.■ Sizes include 7-1/4”, 8”, 9-1/4”, 10”, 11-1/4”, 12” and 14”.

Dietrich™ TradeReady® rim is another major component of the TradeReady® steel floorsystem. The rim is an integral part of the system and drastically reduces framing time andeffort. Rims have preformed attachment tabs at 12", 16", 19.2" or 24" O.C. spacing toeliminate layout time. The tabs are also prepunched to ensure fast, accurate and properfastener placement. Embossed stiffening ribs on each side of the preformed tabs provide additionalreinforcement, resulting in a significant reduction of web stiffeners (squash blocks) and support clips in a majorityof applications. Once rims are installed, simply tilt up the floor joist, abut to the tab and screw attach.

Dietrich™ TradeReady®‚ structural blocking is the thirdcomponent of the TradeReady® steel floor system. Structuralblocking is precut to fit securely between the underside ofthe floor joists to prevent joist rotation. Structural blocking is an economical alternative to cross bracing, X-bracing orstrapping. A continuous row of blocking should be installedevery 8' O.C. maximum and staggered for easy attachment.

Caution: In order to prevent joist rolling, the TDSBblocking must be tied into the structure or otherwise bracedagainst lateral movement.

Note: TDSB blocking is not required if sheathing is appliedto the joists top and bottom.

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.

The two-pieceweb stiffenerenables easierinstallation whenpositionedbetween joistflanges. Theparts are simplyrotated intoplace, as

opposed to sliding them in from the end of the joist. Asingle screw is used to attached the stiffener pieces to thejoist web. One half of the two-piece stiffener can be usedfor lighter loads. When installing between the joist flanges,the one-piece web stiffeners must be installed by sliding itin from the end of the joist. As a result, the one-piece isbetter suited for installation on the backside of the joist inlieu of installation between the joist flanges. Web stiffenersmust be ordered to fit specific joist web dimensions.

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** nationalfabrication network uses state-of-the-art Aegis™

software to accurately bid and fabricate a complete truss system. Aegis™ fabricators alsoprovide sealed truss design drawings. Depending on the job requirements, your Aegis™

fabricator can also provide certified permanent bracing and connection design. ManyAegis™ fabricators can also provide truss installation.

C-stud field-cut and field-assembled trusses provide another option for light-gaugetrusses. C-stud assemblies require independent design drawings by engineering compa-nies like Dietrich Design Group. Dietrich Design Group can also provide fabricationdrawings for an additional fee.

Cavity Shaftwall

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 shaft constructionhas become the preferred and most widely usedshaftwall assembly. These shafts are lightweight,install faster, and provide lower in-place costs.They also significantly reduce structural framingand foundation costs. Masonry shafts in high-risebuildings historically weigh between 20 and 45lbs. per square foot compared to gypsum assem-blies that weigh between 10 and 13 lbs. persquare foot.

In addition to substantial weight reduction, gypsum shaft assemblies can be installedfrom the exterior of the shaft at each floor, eliminating the need for scaffolding. Shaftinstallation is easy, quick and clean. Light-gauge steel and gypsum assemblies providefast, 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 hasbeen tested with almost every gypsumboard and shaft liner manufacturer inthe country. Unlike competing systems,the Dietrich™ CT Cavity Shaftwall andH-Stud Systems provide maximum flexi-bility to choose from a variety of boardmanufacturers. Other systems are onlytested with one company.

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

OverviewFire-Rated Assem

blies 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 area sep-aration wall in place to both sides of the floor, roof and trussline. The clips on the fire side are intended to melt underthe intense heat during a fire, thus enabling a fire-damagedstructure to collapse while keeping the fire wall barrier inplace to protect the adjacent unit. This is commonlyreferred 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.

SLP-TRK* Slotted Track

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 the country, 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 1966. SLP-TRK® cur-rently has over 100 UL™ listings.

Dietrich™ CT Cavity Shaftwall Studs are rigid high-performance members engineered to maintain shaftwallintegrity. CT studs are available in 2-1/2", 4" and 6" widemembers. CT studs are punched with 1" circular knockoutsat 12" O.C. for easy installation of conduit or othermechanical 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 bottomJ tracks. 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 andachieve the designated fire rating.

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 Corner Bead is the same asregular 3/4" radius bead, except it is kerfed so that the legfits the channel of door and window jambs for smooth,rounded encasement.

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.

Paper-Faced MetalOutside Corner,Tape-On Bead

Superior 90˚ outside corner drywall finishing tape-on beadeliminates unsightly corner cracks, chips and nail pops.■ Virtually eliminates costly callbacks.

■ Substantially reduces joint compound consumption and eliminates one finish coat.

■ Does not require mechanical fastening (no nails, staples, screws or crimps).

■ Impervious to “scuffing” and “fluffing-up.”


■ 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 Brads & 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 EIFS basecoats and finishes.

NOTE: Dietrich Metal Framing recommends the use of zincor vinyl for all exterior applications.

CAUTION: Joints and corners are a potential point of waterintrusion. Dietrich strongly recommends building paper beplaced behind all joints and corners. Also, a bead of high-quality caulking should be applied under the joints prior tothe attachment of the materials.

Deep-V E.I.F.S.Expansion Jointsprovide the samefeatures as their Shallow-V companions with the added benefit of a 3/4"extension to the reveal depth. This addition enables stress relief in areaswhere extreme wall expansion and contraction will occur and when thesheathing and lath must be broken behind the joint area. A factory-appliedtape keeps seams unclogged and is easily removed for a clean finish after thesurface is completed. It’s commonly used in soffit areas.

Deep-V is superior to plastic or caulk joints because it will not fail due tofreeze/thaw changes or exposure to UV rays.

Dietrich™ expansion joint #40 is a two-piece, slip joint thatfinishes butt ends of adjacent panels in wide or tall walls and ceilings to allow for multi-directional movement. Panelsare attached to parallel studs through the expansion jointflanges, enabling the finished surface to expand or contractnaturally without cracking. These are ideal for joiningdissimilar wall types such as wood framing to CMU and at construction joints.

Two-piece slip joint that accommodatesmovement in two directions.■ Allows for wall movement in multiple directions.

■ Adjusts from 1/4” to 5/8”.


■ Available with numerous modifications.Expansion Joint #40

#40 Expansion Joints should be used where excessivehorizontal and vertical movement may occur. They give better results than J-Trim when used as a feature strip or as a wall-to-ceiling joint. Atrium walls, wide wall areas andstructural column-through ceiling areas are some of their special applications. These offer broad functional and aesthetic opportunities. Adjustable expansion opening or reveal is 1/4" to 5/8". Ground heights are 1/2", 3/4" and 7/8".

*Zinc.

Caution: Additional weather shields should be installed behind the jointto enhance the weather resistance of this system.

Dietrich™ F.H.A.7. foundation weep screed protects the stop edges of stucco and exteriorinsulated finish system materials at the sill plate. It’s commonly referred to as F.H.A. Screedbecause it meets all pertinent F.H.A. requirements as part of a drainage system for exteriorstucco applications. The 3-1/2" nailing flange serves as a straight-edge stop at the sill plate lineand 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 sillplate or the bottom of the shear panel. This will ensure a tight connection between thebottom 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 angularbead. Also available without bonding holes and in 28 gauge (FHAE) for non-code work.

The Uniform Building Code (UBC)* requires that all foundation screeds have a 3-1/2"nailing flange, weep holes and a minimum 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

Z—1/8" Ribs for Rigidity

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 FederalSpecification UU-B-790a, type 1, grade D,

style 2. Dietrich uses a lettering system incorporated intothe 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.

4-Mesh Z-Riblath is used wherever sound, flat surfaces arerequired. Nail, staple or screw-attach lath to framing withribs perpendicular to wall studs. Z-Riblath is tied to sus-pended ceilings but can be nailed, stapled or screwed to theceiling joists for direct applications. Flat rib lath shouldnever be used over solid surfaces.

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 be

wire tied to the furring channel for ceiling applications. If anend lap should occur between supports, the two sheetsshould be laced or tied using 18-gauge tie wire. Secure lath toall supports 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 plaster anglereinforcement 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 Federal Spec. UU-B-790a as backing on metal lath prod-ucts. This paper provides a water- resistant barrier that is avapor-permeable backing consistent with grade D, style 2paper (other grades and styles are available upon request).Minimum lap requirement for Jr. Diamond Mesh, Self-Furring and 1/8" Flat Rib Laths is 1/2" at the sides and 1" onthe ends which can be easily attained with either “P” (paperoffset 1" on one side and one end) or “S” (paper flush onsides and offset 1" on ends) applications. ASTM C-1063,requires a 2" minimum paper lap on all sides. Dietrich’spaper offset option “O” conforms tothis specification. Make sure to con-sult your local building code toensure proper compliance.

*Available for non-code work. The Uniform Building Code(UBC) requires a 2" paper lap per ASTM C 1063-99.
