MANUAL
Yield Strength, Fy/(psi or ksi)
Yield strength is the property by which the strength of steel is typically defined. Dietrich 20 and 18-gauge products are manufactured with steel having a yield point of 33 ksi. 16, 14 and 12-gauge products are manufactured with steel having a yield point of 50 ksi. Ksi is short for kips per square inch. One kip is equal to 1,000 pounds.
This catalog is designed to help you select the right products or systems for your construction applications. It is the most comprehensive manual in the industry. This catalog is divided into ten major sections that are color coded for easy reference. A comprehensive index is also located at the back of the catalog for your convenience. Each product page includes an extensive product overview, benefits, features and product and application renderings. Reference charts contain size availability and packaging information. Each chart also includes metric sizing for your convenience. Structural properties and load tables are available on our website www.dietrichmetalframing.com.
Protective Coating
Dietrich Metal Framing offers a variety of galvanized products that can be selected to meet the specific requirements of a project. Non- structural products have a corrosion resistant galvanized coating that conforms to ASTM specification A1003 G40 coating weight or equivalent corrosion protection. This coating is in accordance with the industry standard coating requirements of ASTM C 645. These products can also be ordered with enhanced coatings for special applications. Structural Framing products are available with a variety of protective coatings. G60 zinc coatings meet the most widely applicable building codes and we are able to provide certified G60 product that meets the G60 coating weight provisions of ASTM C 955. Certified G90 coatings are an enhanced option that can be requested for highly corrosive environments. G60E coatings are an economical choice. G60E coatings for structural products will pass the 100-hour salt spray test applicable to "equivalent" coatings under ASTM A 1003, but cannot be certified by any supplier to meet the G60 minimum coating standard under ASTM C 955. The buyer is solely responsible to assure that products purchased properly satisfy any applicable code or specification.
Product Codes/Designators
Each Dietrich product or system component is identified by a 3-or 4-digit alphanumeric code for ease of ordering. Corresponding SSMA member designator, where applicable, is also provided for easy reference. The Steel Stud Manufacturers Association (SSMA) has established industry standard nomenclature for steel framing members and components. The SSMA reference is identified by an easy-to-understand alphanumeric code. The alpha designation is S, T, U, or F, where S = stud or joist, T = track, U = cold rolled channel, and F = furring channel. Product identification is simplified with the SSMA standard member designation. While the letters define the section type, the numbers identify web depth, flange width and minimum steel thickness as shown to the left. Dietrich products meet or exceed all SSMA requirements. Care should be taken, however, when substituting materials in place of Dietrich Metal Framing. There is a misconception within the construction industry regarding the substitution of one manufacturers products or materials for those of another manufacturer. The assumption is that all studs of a given size and steel thickness are interchangeable. It may be possible that the substitution can safely be made, but the decision should not be made until the structural properties of the products or materials involved are compared by a qualified engineer. Web
Product Labeling
Skids are clearly identified with master skid labels that display product, gauge, size, length, piece count, yield strength and any special skid markings specified at the time of order. Individual ink jet labeling (including company name, product, size, length, gauge, coating and yield strength) or embossing is also provided on many of our structural framing members. UPC bar coding is also available for certain products.

Note: All products comply with ASTM thickness standards and Federal specifications shown in the Certification of Materials in the back of this catalog. Minimum thickness is 95% of the design thickness per AISI code. The trend today is to refer to steel thickness in terms of mil rather than gauge. This catalog includes both for ease of use. One mil is equivalent to 1/1000, (.001) of an inch. The mil thickness measures the uncoated base metal material. A 20-gauge stud measuring the minimum uncoated base metal at 0.030 inches is 30 mils thick.

the
BENEFITS
of
STEEL BUILD with

What about Rust?
Steel framing members in wall cavities, attic spaces or crawl spaces that are not 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.
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. Steel is dimensionally stable and wont shrink like wood, eliminating nail popping, wall cracking or floor squeaking. Steel does not rot, promote mold or mildew and is impermeable to termites, vermin and 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 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.
What about Cost?

More economical than traditional masonry, concrete and other construction methods. Reduces or eliminates callback costs for nail pops, floor squeaks and wall cracks due to shrinkage. The NAHB estimates the average callback costs the builder over $350.00 per call.
STEEL today...
Lower costs for construction and homeowners insurance.
Fire Resistance
Steel framing is non-combustible and will not add fuel to a fire. It improves fire safety in compliance with local codes and regulations. Steel framing offers code approved increases in allowable floor area and/or allowable building heights compared to conventional wood framing. One-third of all fires start in the wall cavity. Actual case studies show steel houses perform very well in house fires, with little or no damage to the framing structure.
Termites
A few things you should know.
Over $1 billion is spent each year for prevention, control and repair. Steel framing provides a termite-proof solution for the structural integrity of your project. The most ferocious termite is the Formosan Subterranean Super Termite. An average colony consists of about 3 million termites, but can be as large as 10 million. A single colony normally survives 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 nutrient source and moisture to grow and flourish. Steel is inorganic and does not contain moisture like wood. Kiln dried lumber still has between 1114% residual water content. California has already passed moldrelated laws, and nine other states have legislation pending.
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.

Easy to Use
Interior nonload-bearing studs are cut easily with metal snips (aviator snips). They do not require the use of a circular saw. Simply twist metal studs into place and screw attach. Make a mistake and simply reverse the screw gun. Up to 50% lighter than wood. Pre-punched holes eliminate drilling for electrical and plumbing lines. Special order cut-to-length material eliminates field cutting and waste.
that will
LAST A LIFETIME.
Environmental Benefits
Steel offers builders an environmentally friendly alternative to wood. There is little waste when using steel framing materials. Builders can reduce their disposal costs and divert material from local landfills (2% steel vs. 20% lumber). Building an average wood-frame home generates approximately 50 cubic feet of landfill waste, while a comparable steel home generates about 1.5 cubic feet of waste.
Live and Breathe Easier

The Healthy House Institute recommends steel framing for good indoor air quality. Chemically sensitive homeowners and those susceptible to asthma are exposed to fewer toxins in a steelframed home. The American Lung Association encourages the use of steel framing with its Health House program. Steel resists mold spores that can lead to 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 wood construction. Better insulation values with EPS foam reduces outside noise pollution.
North Americas Most Recycled 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 a 2,500 square foot home, compared with 7 recycled automobiles for the same steel-framed home. 60 million tons of steel scrap are recycled each year: more than paper, aluminum, glass and plastic combined.

Interior Framing Overview
INTERIOR FRAMING OVERVIEW

Dietrich Metal Framing interior framing products are used in a variety of interior, nonload-bearing construction applications. The most common uses of nonload-bearing or nonstructural metal framing are partition walls, ceilings and column fireproofing in low-rise, mid-rise, high-rise, educational, institutional and multi-use commercial structures. Nonload-bearing framing is also used in residential applications including partition framing and basement finishing. Metal framing is required in most commercial structures because it is noncombustible and does not add fuel to the fire. Interior framing components are manufactured from corrosion resistant galvanized steel that offers significant protection from the elements. In addition these framing members are precision manufactured to exacting tolerances that provide the framework for superior construction. Dietrich Metal Framing offers an extensive selection of interior framing products including studs and tracks, furring and resilient channels, deflection products, corner angles and backing plates.
Interior (Drywall) Nonload-Bearing, Nonstructural Framing

Dietrich Metal Framings nonload-bearing, nonstructural or interior framing metal studs and tracks are C-shaped channels, roll-formed from corrosion resistant, galvanized steel. These channels are assembled to provide efficient, low cost framing for partition walls, ceilings and column fireproofing. Gypsum wallboard, veneer plaster or traditional lath and plaster is applied to the metal framing to complete the wall assembly. These assemblies are nonload-bearing, nonstructural wall systems that support gypsum panel construction. They are not designed to carry an axial load. Most nonload-bearing, nonstructural walls are constructed using 25 gauge equivalent (15 mils) UltraSTEEL (0.034" effective thickness), 20 DW gauge equivalent (25 mils) UltraSTEEL (0.055" effective thickness) or 20 STR* gauge equivalent (28 mils) UltraSTEEL (0.060" effective thickness) stud and track.
* Available in limited markets
All of Dietrichs interior, nonload-bearing stud and track products are manufactured utilizing a next-generation manufacturing technology called UltraSTEEL framing. UltraSTEEL technology is a manufacturing process that alters the characteristics of flat base strip steel, providing higher strength capacity from lighter gauge material. The process effectively work-hardens the steel with two mating rolls. During the process, the effective thickness of the material is increased to that of the original thickness, plus the depth of the ribbing. This process, in effect, dimples the entire stud or track member. UltraSTEEL technology significantly increases the product performance when compared to traditional interior metal stud framing. Some of the benefits include better acoustical performance, improved fire resistance, faster and easier installation, improved safety and better finish quality.

Overview
Dietrich UltraSTEEL Metal Studs are available in 1-5/8", 2-1/2", 3-1/2"*, 3-5/8", 4", 5-1/2"* and 6" widths or web depths. Studs are manufactured using the UltraSTEEL process. Studs may be spaced at 12", 16" or 24" on-center based on wall height. Wall height, stud spacing, framing condition, deflection limitations and lateral load are all factors that must be considered in determining the correct size and gauge of the applicable product.
Interior Framing Overview
Dietrich UltraSTEEL Metal Track (or runner) is available in corresponding sizes and is offered in a variety of leg 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 to match specific job requirements. This flexibility allows the end user to more efficiently control labor costs at the jobsite.

Enhances Screw Retention

Independent tests have shown improved screw retention characteristics The dimpled surface reduces screw spin out Dietrich UltraSTEEL Framing is made from 40 KSI steel combined with double helix work hardening process which increases strength of screw retention. The Dietrich UltraSTEEL Framing cross-section ensures every screw is in contact with a material thickness greater than the nominal gauge of the steel. Furthermore, the location of screws within Dietrich UltraSTEEL Framing material creates inward pressure around the point of contact as a pull-out force is applied.

*The term Effective Thickness was created by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to establish a minimum thickness measurement after the UltraSTEEL manufacturing 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. Yield Strength = 40 ksi

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. Yield Strength = 40 ksi

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.

Interior Contour Track
Hinged Support Leg

The other leg of the Dietrich Contour Track features pre-punched, easy-to-cut guide holes when contour track is used in arches or extreme radius conditions like column framing. In these conditions, the ribbons are quickly removed with snips and the trim holes are partially cut to provide maximum flexibility and versatility.
Interior (Drywall) Nonload-Bearing Contour Track
Interlocking Track
Contour Track flexible framing members bend both ways and easily form challenging compound curves. S-curves are easily made by overlapping and interlocking one two-inch web section. Screw attach, then hand bend to the desired effect.
UltraSTEEL Technology
Dietrich Contour Track features Dietrich UltraSTEEL framing technology. Unlike the smooth surface of other flexible track products, which tend to inhibit the grabbing of screws during installation, the dimpled surface of the CNTB actually helps to facilitate screw installation. The dimpled surface also makes the product much safer to handle. Dietrich UltraSTEEL Framing: Greatly reduced screw stripping Virtually eliminates screw riding or walking Stiffer, more rigid construction Improved safety by reducing sharp edges and lips
It all adds up to: Faster, Easier and Safer Installation

Interior (Drywall) Deflection Track Systems and Bridging Options
Interior (Drywall) Framing Products for Bridging/Bracing

Bridging and bracing of interior nonload-bearing framing can be achieved through various methods.
Spazzer 9200 Bridging and Spacing Bar

Eliminates stud spacing layout at deck Improves drywall installation speed Automatically positions and rigidly holds studs on 16 or 24 centers without fasteners Eliminates clip angles and the labor required to install them
Bridging/Bracing Options
Three of the more common methods are: Spazzer 9200 Bridging and Spacing Bar U-Channel and EasyClip Connectors (U-Series) Block and Strap
The purpose of bridging is to provide resistance to lateral and torsional movement of the stud assembly. Bridging is normally required when: Wall sheathing does not extend to the underside of the ceiling deck Walls are only sheathed on one side It is necessary to maintain the integrity of the framework during construction To brace studs when using Long Leg (Deflection) Track When required by certain fire-rated assemblies
U-Channel and EasyClip Connectors (U-Series)

Prevents twisting and lateral movement Traditional system EasyClip Connectors (U-Series) are prepunched for faster installation
Block and Strap

Used as bridging when framing members are unpunched Eliminates the need for connectors Provides alternative bridging when knockouts do not align
Bridging Recommendations
Lateral Bridging for Light-Gauge Steel Framed Walls (Interior Non-Axial Load Bearing) 1. For an interior non-axial load-bearing wall with gypsum board or other approved ASTM rigid facing material attached to both stud flanges for the entire height of the wall, no bridging is required. However, temporary bracing of the wall is required if one stud flange is temporarily unsheathed. 2. For an interior non-axial load-bearing wall with partial height gypsum board, continuous bridging is required at 5-ft. maximum vertical spacing above the elevation at which the board is terminated. 3. For an interior non-axial load bearing wall with sheathing on one side only, bridging is required at 5-ft. maximum vertical spacing. Note that for studs 6" wide and less in depth, bridging can be accomplished with the TradeReady Spazzer 9200 or 1-1/2" 16-gauge U-channel fastened to studs. For a stud with a depth greater than 8" wide, block and strap bridging or solid blocking is required.

SLP-TRK
Its a real challenge meeting head-of-wall codes for fire stop and life safety while maintaining the ability to absorb vertical movement in low-, mid- and high-rise buildings. SLP-TRK* slotted track is the solution. SLP-TRK slotted track provides a positive attachment for wall strength and allows for vertical movement. Movement caused by normal head-of-wall and floor extension or compression is absorbed by SLP-TRK slotted track to prevent damage to the wall assembly. SLP-TRK slotted track systems comply with the toughest code requirements in North America, if not the world. Its been tested with a variety of leading fire-stop products and has outperformed the requirements of stringent fire and hose stream testing ASTM E 119 and ASTM E 814. SLP-TRK also has met and exceeded the latest seismic cycling standards found in UL2079 and ASTM E 1966.

Resilient Channels (RC-Series) for Walls and Ceilings
One of the most efficient low-cost methods of reducing sound transmission in wood or steel-framed partition or ceiling assemblies.
Lab-certified STC-rated up to 61 Single and double leg channels RC Deluxe (RCSD) has extra-wide screw surface for easy attachment Available in 12 lengths
RCUR
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. Resilient channel is manufactured from 25- and 20-gauge 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 easier to install, but offers a lower STC rating.

Exterior Framing Overview
EXTERIOR FRAMING OVERVIEW

Exterior light gauge framing is used in a variety of construction applications including axial load-bearing walls, floors, roofs and curtain-wall assemblies in low-rise, mid-rise, high-rise, educational, institutional, multi-family and multi-use commercial and residential structures. Light-gauge framing products can be assembled to provide versatile, cost-effective, lightweight and noncombustible assemblies used as primary or secondary framing systems. When used as the primary frame, steel framing assemblies have been used up to nine stories. When used as a secondary frame with heavy structural steel or concrete structures, light-gauge framing provides low-cost, efficient framing that can accommodate almost any facing material. Light-gauge steel framing is commonly stick framed; however, it is highly suited for prefabricated panel construction that provides additional economy in todays highly competitive construction industry. Light-gauge steel framing is a superior building material. Its high strength-toweight ratio maximizes building design flexibility and provides rigid structural integrity. Light-gauge steel framing is easily insulated for high-energy conservation and provides noncombustible support for fire-rated construction. Dietrich Metal Framing offers the most comprehensive and widest selection of framing products, systems and services available in the industry. This wide selection of products, gauges, yield strengths, sizes and flange widths enables the designer to obtain optimal performance at economical costs.

Dietrich light-gauge C-studs for axial load-bearing and curtain-wall framing are prepunched with knockouts at regular intervals. These punchouts are specifically designed to allow for rapid installation of pipes, electrical conduit and wall bridging. Standard knockout sizing is 1-1/2" x 4" in members 3-1/2" and wider. Members smaller than 3-1/2" are unpunched unless otherwise specified at time of order. If specified, members will be punched with a 3/4" x 4" knockout. Knockouts are punched 12" from the lead edge with additional knockouts every 24" O.C. (on the West Coast the first knockout is punched 24" from the lead edge). Caution must be exercised when installing studs so knockouts align for bridging. Based on stud length, the distance the knockout falls from the tail end of the stud may not be the same from the lead end. To align punchouts, make sure to use the same end in the same direction consistently.

TS-Series System with Spazzer Bridging Bar (SPZS) and Spazzer Bar Guard Retaining Clip (SPBG)
Enhance productivity and reduce materials with the Spazzer 5400 prenotched, prespaced exterior deflection assembly.
Long Leg Deflection Track (TS-Series)
Eliminates high material cost of custom-made head tracks. Requires only a single generic Long Leg Track to provide deflection. Facilitates sprayable intumescent/elastomeric firestops. Eliminates stud spacing layout at deck. Automatically positions and holds studs rigidly on 12, 16 or 24 spacing.
The TradeReady Spazzer 5400 prenotched, 16-gauge, galvanized steel spacer and bridging bar is engineered to facilitate the rapid erection of exterior deflection wall framing. Before the Spazzer 5400 Bridging Bar, deflection at the head track was addressed with a variety of systems including double track, proprietary tracks, deep leg track with cold rolled channel, clip angles or welds, solid blocks and metal strap across the face of the studs or by fastening the studs to the top track and removing the screws prior to installing the wall sheathing. The prenotched slots and gripping power of the 50-inch
Spazzer 5400 bridging bar assembles steel studs into a rigid, accurate gridwork that allows for deflection and provides excellent resistance to stud rotation and displacement without the use of mechanical attachments and welding equipment. The Spazzer Bar Guard retaining clip, or screws must be installed in curtain-wall and axial load-bearing wall applications to prevent the Spazzer 5400 bridging bar from accidentally being disengaged.

Traditional, DoubleTrack or track-over-track curtain-wall 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 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.

The HDS Framing System is a new, high-performance, cost-effective, multipurpose, heavy-duty framing stud for headers, jambs, posts and built-up tube truss chords and webs. The superior strength and carrying capacity of the HDS means higher performance with fewer members. It means eliminating box beam headers, nesting track and stud for posts and jambs and eliminating multimember built-up truss chords and webs. It also means improved finish quality by eliminating excessive material and screw head buildup around doors and windows. The HDSC header bracket is the perfect complement to the HDS Framing system. This simple, yet innovative header bracket turns curtain-wall header installation from a two- man job into a one-person job. This unique, prepunched clip also eliminates surface head fastener buildup that can create finishing challenges. Let the lightgauge framing experts at Dietrich Design Group help you incorporate this new, cutting-edge, framing assembly into your next project.

For example, if a 16-gauge, 50 ksi jamb is used with a 3.625" HDS 18-gauge, 33 ksi head, the design value for F1 is the minimum value of 1680# for the jamb and 682# for the head. Therefore, the design value is 682#. For F1 and F2 occurring at the same time, use the squared interaction equation: (f1/F1)^2+(f2/F2)^2<1.0.

Table Notes
1) 2) The opening is centered vertically about the wall height. The assumed stud spacing adjacent to the opening is 16" O/C or less. For door openings, this table is conservative, and therefore valid. The tabulated values assume a single HDS member is used at each jamb stud.

Table Notes
1) 2) 3) The opening is centered vertically about the wall height. The assumed stud spacing adjacent to the opening is 16" O/C or less. The tabulated values assume a single stud is also attached to the HDS member. The assumed stud is a Dietrich CSJ of equal web size and gauge. Stud strength is assumed to be 33 ksi. Attach the stud to the HDS framing with (2) #10-16 screws at 24" O/C as shown in the diagram left. The tabulated values are limited to 16' for 3.625" walls, and 20' for 6" walls. For wider openings or other conditions, contact Dietrich Design Group at 1-800-873-2443. Depending on the actual window width versus the tabulated window width, cells marked with an asterisk may require an end connection that will prevent web crippling. Web crippling is computed in accordance with the AISI Standard for CFS Wall Stud Design 2004. End track must have a minimum thickness equal to the jamb stud. The tabulated values are based on an unbraced length of 6' for bending. Deflections are computed using 0.7 times the components and cladding wind load per Section B1 of the AISI Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing - Wall Design. Note that the 0.7 factor is not used for the interior 5 psf loading condition. HDS properties computed in accordance with the 2001 AISI NASPEC. Table not valid for openings in load-bearing walls.

Table Notes
1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) Studs are assumed to be simple span. Axial loads are assumed to pass through the geometric centroid of the section. Use 5 psf tables for interior walls. Cells marked with ** meet L/600; cells marked with * meet L/360; unmarked cells meet L/240; blank cells do not meet L/240. A 1/3 stress increase is not used. Provide bridging and or bracing at at 5' O/C max. Studs are assumed to be mechanically braced. Sheathing braced design has not been used for this table. Studs are assumed punched with a maximum 1.5" centered web knockout at 18" O/C min. Capacities are calculated according to the AISI NASPEC, 2002. 20- and 18-gauge members are 33 ksi. 16-gauge and heavier are 50 ksi. Deflections are computed using 0.7 times the components and cladding wind load per Section B1 of the AISI Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing - Wall Design. Note that the 0.7 factor is not used for the interior 5 psf loading condition.

Preformed L-header that slides into place quickly.

L-Header (LHDR)
Substantial labor savings. Lightweight and easy to handle. Available in stock and custom lengths.
Dietrich L-Headers are prefabricated light-gauge 90 L-sections that are used in load-bearing wall framing. L-headers slide easily into place and eliminate the labor-intensive process of built-up field-assembled headers. L-headers may not work in all loading situations. Proper loading comparisons should be examined, especially when considering uplift loads. L-headers may be installed as single, one header one side, or double, two headers, one on both sides.

Back-to-Back (C-Studs) (TS-Track) (S-Series Clips)
Traditional, field-fabricated, built-up back-to-back C-Stud Header used to distribute loads above door and window openings.
Assembled using traditional C-Stud and track members. I-shape permits easy installation of web stiffeners when required. Can be insulated after installation.
I-Header
Back-to-back or I-beam headers, consist of two C sections with the webs screwed back to back. The header takes the shape of an I. Headers are attached to the jamb stud with EasyClip Support Clips (S-Series). Jack studs are usually used to provide additional support. Many contractors prefer this method of building headers because they can be insulated after assembly. This type of header is sold as components and must be field fabricated. When C-studs are used in header applications, they should be ordered as unpunched.

Box beam headers are field or shop assembled by positioning two C-Stud sections with the open side of the webs or Cs facing each other. The Cs are capped with a top and bottom track and positioned over the door or window opening. For lighter load applications, a single piece of stud and track can be nested to form a capped header. In most cases, the connection at the jamb is made by nesting the boxed header into a track. Usually jack studs are used to add additional header support. Box beam headers must be insulated at time of fabrication. This type of header is sold as components and must be field fabricated. When C-Studs are used in header applications, they should be ordered as unpunched.

Slide Clip SD
Overnight Delivery!
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.

Spazzer Bar Guard
Spazzer 5400 (SPZS) Spazzer Snap-In Grommet (SPGR) and Spazzer Bar Guard (SPBG)
Dietrich TradeReady Spazzer 5400 Spacer Bar is a pre-notched, 16-gauge, galvanized steel spacer and bridging bar, engineered to facilitate the rapid erection of exterior curtain-wall framing, load-bearing walls and high interior partitions constructed of structural studs. Until now, most bridging in steel studs was accomplished with cold-rolled channel that required bridging clips or welding. The Spazzer bridging bar is equipped with proprietary pre-punched slots that reduce installation costs and provide excellent torsional and lateral stud restraint. The Spazzer Bar Guard retainer clip or the Spazzer Snap-In Grommet should be used to secure the Spazzer Bar when used in load-bearing applications.

Commonly used bracing for wall studs deeper than 6".

Provides horizontal bracing for studs deeper than 6. Blocking is field cut. Used if knockouts do not align.
Block (TSB) and Strap (DT Series)
Properly spaced horizontal steel bracing provides resistance to stud rotation and minor axis buckling under wind 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.
DT Strapping
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.

Light-gauge steel X-bracing for load-bearing framing to resist racking under wind and seismic loads.
Diagonal Tension Strapping/Shear Wall Bracing (DT)/Gusset Plates (GP) for Shear Wall Bracing
Strapping is available in flat lengths and coil form. Available widths are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. Gauges: 20 (33 mils), 18 (43 mils), 16 (54 mils), 14 (68 mils) and 12 (97 mils). Standard gusset plate sizes are 6x6, 6x12 and 12x12.
DT Strapping
Dietrich diagonal tension strapping and gusset plate components are used in combination to provide shearwall (racking restraint) for light-gauge load- bearing framing under wind and seismic 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 studs are positioned at ends of the X-brace to serve as compression studs. Straps are either attached directly to the compression studs or are attached via gusset plates. Compression studs must be anchored to the foundation, normally with Simpson* uplift anchors. For multi-story construction, the uplift loads are extremely high. It is not uncommon to require 20,000 to 40,000 pounds of uplift force at these connections. Since Simpson anchors are not designed to resist this magnitude of force, it is recommended
Gusset Plates
that embedded plates be installed prior to pouring the concrete foundation. A heavy steel assembly is then welded to the embedded plate and to the compression studs. Caution: Racking loads are first transferred to the roof or floor decking and then to the shearwalls (X-bracing). The Xbracing then relies on a proper foundation to resist uplift and shear forces. In order for the system to function properly, the load path from the roof or floor deck to the shearwalls to the foundation must be complete. This normally requires additional bracing, blocking, track and rim splices, drag struts, uplift anchors and heavy-duty foundations.

Floor Framing Overview
FLOOR FRAMING OVERVIEW

Light-gauge C-Studs/Joists are commonly used in floor framing assemblies. C-Joists are a cost-effective alternative to open web trusses, bar joists, engineered lumber, and cast-in-place or hollow-core floor assemblies. Light steel framing (C-Joists) are ideal for low- and mid-rise commercial applications such as hotels, motels, apartment complexes, condominiums, multi-family, and assisted living. Steel joists are also being used more extensively in residential structures. Steels high strength-to-weight ratio provides strong loading capacity and maximum spanning capability. Joists are commonly spaced at 12", 16", 19.2" or 24" intervals and are used in conjunction with all traditional flooring materials such as plywood, OSB, concrete filled steel deck, or one of the many varieties of fiber reinforced cement board. Dietrich offers a variety of floor framing systems including conventional C-Joist and the TradeReady Steel Joist System. The TradeReady Steel Joist System features large extruded openings in the joist to accommodate electrical, mechanical, plumbing and technology lines. The system also includes a tabbed rim track to strengthen the joist against web crippling loads, and to provide greater versatility and strength for ledger applications. This system, in conjunction with other floor sheathing products, provides one of the most cost-effective systems for non-combustible low and mid-rise structures.
Floor Joist Systems/ Components

Floor joist components are available in a variety of web sizes, flanges, gauges and yield strengths. This wide selection of webs, flanges, gauges and yield strengths (ksi) enable the designer to obtain optimal performance at economical prices. Dietrichs conventional C-Joist system is made up of joists, track, clips, web stiffeners, solid blocking and strapping to complete an entire assembly. The revolutionary TradeReady Floor System is comprised of the TradeReady Joist with large extruded holes, TradeReady Rim Joist with prepunched layout tabs and embedded stiffening ribs, and pre-cut structural blocking. The system is complemented with EasyClip S- and E-series clips and web stiffeners when necessary.

C-Joist
Dietrich C-Joist components provide an economical, lightweight alternative to open web trusses, bar joists, 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), usually in the same gauge as the joist, is used as rim or band enclosures. Joist to girder attachments are normally supported with joist hangers, EasyClip E-Series or S-Series support clips. Web stiffeners may be required at supports and other point loads. Solid blocking and strap bridging is required to properly brace the floor assembly.

Precut structural blocking that installs easily to the underside of the joists to prevent joist rotation.
TradeReady Structural Blocking (TDSB)
Pre-cut to fit 12, 16, 19.2 or 24 spacing. Pre-punched holes for quick attachment. Available in 18 gauge only.
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.

Block and strap bridging is used to prevent joist rotation and lateral movement.
Block (TS/CS), Strap (DTN) and EasyClip (E- and S-Series)
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.
Coil Strapping
Dietrich block and strap bridging is installed to prevent joist rotation and lateral movement. Solid blocking, a field-cut track or joist section, is welded or screwattached between the first and last two outer joist bays 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.

Truss Framing Overview
TRUSS FRAMING OVERVIEW

Light-gauge steel trusses are an economical, lightweight rigid roof framing system used in educational, assisted living, hotels/motels, military, industrial and countless other commercial and institutional structures when a residential look and feel is desired. Steel trusses are also used in residential roof and floor assemblies. They provide fully noncombustible assemblies that meet required fire codes. They are the ideal, cost-effective alternative to structural steel, bar joist and fire-retardant wood trusses. Steel trusses are compatible with almost every construction type, method or system including lightgauge steel, structural steel, CMU, concrete and wood framing. Light-gauge steel trusses have the design flexibility to accommodate almost any roof line including complex roof geometries. Some of the more common truss styles include fink, fan, pratt, king, flat, gable, hip, mansard, mono, cantilever, overhang and scissor trusses. Light-gauge components can also be assembled to provide open web floor trusses.
Advantages
Light-gauge steel trusses offer many advantages over traditional roof framing components. Because of steels incredible strength, light-gauge trusses can be designed for clear spans over 100'. They can eliminate intermediate bearing walls and create large open spaces. Steel trusses not only span farther, they permit wider on-center spacing that results in additional labor and material savings. One of steels greatest benefits is noncombustibility. Steel will not burn, and does not add fuel to a burning fire. Steel trusses are fully noncombustible and meet even the most stringent fire codes. In many cases they reduce insurance premiums and possibly eliminate expensive sprinkler systems. In general, steel provides straighter, tighter and truer framing, resulting in better, long term performance. Steel isnt susceptible to rot, insects or mold. It doesnt warp, twist, bow, shrink or swell like its wood counterpart. Ceilings remain flat, even and virtually free from unsightly cracks and nail pops. Light-gauge trusses can be field assembled using conventional C-studs, or they can be prefabricated in controlled factory environments and delivered directly to your jobsite. Prefabricated trusses offer many advantages over field assembled trusses including shorter construction cycles, higher quality and consistency.

Fire-Rated Assemblies Overview
FIRE-RATED ASSEMBLIES OVERVIEW

Fire-rated assemblies provide critical, life safety fire-resistant protection in a variety of wall assemblies in many different building types. These assemblies can be constructed from a myriad of different building materials. Some of the most common include masonry and a combination of steel and gypsum. Steel and gypsum assemblies have become the preferred and most widely used fire-rated assemblies. They are lightweight, low-cost, high-performance systems that significantly reduce overall building weight and construction time. Two of the most common fire-rated assemblies are Area Separation Walls and Cavity Shaftwalls. Area Separation Walls are typically used to provide two-hour fire-rated protection between adjacent living units in apartment buildings, condominiums, townhouses and multifamily construction. Cavity Shaftwalls are commonly used to provide fire-resistant protection for elevator shafts, stairwells, vertical chases and mechanical enclosures in most multi-story structures. Cavity shaftwall systems are widely used in lowrise, mid-rise and high-rise buildings. Dietrich Metal Framing provides fully tested and approved assemblies for both area separation wall and cavity shaftwall construction. What makes the Dietrich system unique is that it has been tested with almost every gypsum board and shaft liner manufacturer in the country. Unlike competing systems, the Dietrich CT Cavity Shaftwall and H-Stud Systems provide maximum flexibility to choose from a variety of board manufacturers. Other systems are only tested with one company. This unprecedented flexibility means quick availability of product at economical costs. It provides you with a choice and peace of mind knowing youre using a tested and approved assembly.
Shaftwall/Stairwell
Cavity shaftwall systems are nonload-bearing fire rated wall assemblies that provide critical, life safety, fire-resistant protection for elevator shafts, stairwells, vertical chases and mechanical enclosures. Shaftwalls in elevators and stairwells are one of the most important wall assemblies in a building. They provide the only means of human egress from the building in an emergency. Vertical chases and mechanical enclosures keep vital communication, power, water, fresh air and exhaust systems intact when a fire occurs. Cavity shaftwalls are constructed utilizing one of two methods: masonry/CMU or light-gauge steel and gypsum. Gypsum drywall shaftwall construction has become the preferred and most widely used shaftwall assembly. These shaftwalls are lightweight, install faster, and provide lower inplace costs. They also significantly reduce structural framing and foundation costs. Masonry shaftwalls in high-rise buildings historically weigh between 20 and 45 lbs. per square foot compared to gypsum assemblies that weigh between 10 and 13 lbs. per square foot. In addition to substantial weight reduction, gypsum shaftwall assemblies can be installed from the exterior of the shaft at each floor, eliminating the need for scaffolding. Shaftwall installation is easy, quick and clean. Light-gauge steel and gypsum assemblies provide fast, lightweight, low-cost and high-performance assemblies.

Overview
Area Separation Wall

Area Separation Walls are nonload-bearing 2hour rated vertical wall assemblies that provide fire-resistant protection between adjacent living units in apartment buildings, condominiums and townhouses. Area Separation Walls are also referred to as party walls, firewalls, multi-family walls and H-Stud assemblies. Area Separation Walls are assembled between two independent walls to form a commonly shared party wall that extends from the foundation through the roofline. The walls are assembled with two 1" thick gypsum panel liners vertically installed between 2" H-Studs spaced 24" O.C. C-Runners or H-Tracks are installed at the top and bottom of the walls and back-to-back between vertically stacked panels. Overall stacked area separation wall assembly cannot exceed 50'. Aluminum Breakaway Clips are used to secure the Area Separation Wall in place to both sides of the floor, roof and truss line. The clips on the fire side are intended to melt under the intense heat during a fire, thus enabling a firedamaged structure to collapse while keeping the fire wall barrier in place to protect the adjacent unit. This is commonly referred to as a controlled collapse. Area Separation Wall assemblies are a great alternative to masonry construction. The H-stud system is at least 50% lighter than masonry walls, installs faster, is STC sound rated and increases valuable floor space compared to 8" 12" wide masonry walls.
Head of Wall
Its a real challenge these days meeting head-of-wall codes for fire stop and life safety while maintaining the ability to absorb vertical movement in high-rise buildings. SLP-TRK slotted track is the solution. SLP-TRK slotted track provides a positive attachment for wall strength and allows for vertical movement. SLP-TRK Systems comply with the toughest fire code requirements in North America, if not the world. It has been tested with a variety of leading fire-stop products, and has outperformed the requirements of stringent fire and hose stream testing ASTM E 119, ASTM E 814. SLP-TRK slotted track also has met and exceeded the latest seismic cycling standards found in UL2079 and ASTM E 1966. SLP-TRK currently has over 100 UL listings.

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. Dietrich CT Cavity Shaftwall System is tested with the following manufacturers: United States Gypsum; James Hardie; CertainTeed; National Gypsum; American; Eagle; Georgia-Pacific; Standard; Lafarge Gypsum; Temple; PABCO

J-Tabbed Track
Dietrich J-Tabbed Track is used at the floor and ceiling in shaftwall assemblies. CT studs and gypsum shaftliner panels are friction fit between the top and bottom J-Tabbed Track. 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.

Vinyl Beads & Trims Overview
VINYL BEADS & TRIMS OVERVIEW

Vinyl beads and trims are designed to provide superior, long-lasting interior finishes for drywall and veneer plaster. These beads and trims are used to provide durable, corrosionand impact-resistant edges, corners, arches, curvatures and numerous other finishing applications. Vinyl beads and trims continue to grow in popularity because they give architects, interior designers and contractors much more flexibility to create dramatic, sweeping arches, curvatures and distinctive architectural details.
Advantages
DurabilityVinyl accessories are impervious to corrosion when coated with veneer plaster, 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 ResistanceDue to superior impact resistance, rigid vinyl accessories are resistant to dents and kinks of corners and edges, during and after construction. Corrosion ResistanceVinyl accessories are impervious to rust, corrosion, galvanic 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 support 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 substrate 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.

Overview
Styles & Types

Vinyl Corner Bead is a rigid, easy-to-apply corner reinforcement that may be nail or staple applied. Flanges are 1-1/4" wide and are perforated to aid joint compound bond. Rigid vinyl resists dents, thermal transmission and will not corrode. Vinyl Splayed Bullnose Corner Bead fits off-angle corners that typically are 120135. 1-1/4" Archway Corner Bead has the same properties as regular 1-1/4" vinyl corner bead, plus its manufactured with notched tabs on one flange to permit flexible forming of archway edges. Available in 8' and 10' lengths. All Dietrich vinyl products readily accept finish treatments such as paint and spray or roll-on textures. 90 Bullnose Corner Bead comes in a choice of 3/4" or more dramatic 1-1/2" radius to make rounded, more contemporary corners. Fits 90 corners. Vinyl 90 Bullnose Archway Corner Bead provides a bullnose treatment around arched openings. Tabs enable bead to be arched to a 10" inside radius or 18" outside radius. 3/4" Vinyl Bullnose Kerfed is the same as regular 3/4" radius bead, except it is kerfed so that the leg fits the channel of door and window jambs for smooth, rounded encasement. Vinyl J-Trim provides a finished edge at gypsum board stops around door and window openings and at ceiling intersections. Requires no joint compound. Rigid vinyl is not a thermal transmitter and helps stop condensation where board terminates at exterior metal surfaces, such as window frames and mullions. Its rustproof and dent resistant. Rip Bead vinyl beads produce an exceptional finish at the intersection of gypsum board and ceiling grid. Once joint compound is applied, the tear-away strip is removed, producing a crisp, clean edge. Vinyl L-Stop Bead is a convenient finished termination for gypsum panel surfaces. Bead may be nail or staple attached to the stud through the bead flange. The flange is 1-1/4" wide and is perforated to aid joint compound bond. Rigid vinyl is rust proof and dent resistant. Surface is treated with an alkyd texture to help joint compound and paint adhere.

Paper-Faced Beads & Trims Overview
PAPER-FACED BEADS & TRIMS OVERVIEW

Paper-faced metal beads and trims combine galvanized metal corner and edge protection with high-grade paper tape to provide cost-effective, problem-free, compound-embedded drywall finishing. Paper-faced beads virtually eliminate any potential for corner and edge cracking by moving or floating with the gypsum independent of framing movement or settling. The result is a precise, highquality, straight and smooth finish, free from unsightly cracks, chips and nail pops. Tape-on paper-faced beads and trims are not fastened directly to the framing like conventional nail-on bead. Joint compound is applied to the underside of the paper flanges, aligned and pressed into place. Joint compound seeps through perforated holes in the paper to provide superior adhesion and bonding to the gypsum paper. Nail-on paper-faced beads and trims are also available. Nail-on trims are used when nailing or mechanical fastening is desired or required, but paper facing is preferred for application at joint treatment.
Advantages
Goldline* paper-faced products are recognized as the premier paper-faced finishing products. 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 papers 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.

Overview
Goldline* paper-faced metal products are available in a wide variety of profiles. The 90 outside corners have a number of different metal and paper widths that reflect the demand of a specific market or application. Wide flanged beads are used when finishers want a product that will cover an imperfect drywall corner (drywall stops short of corner, crooked house wall, etc.). Splayed angle outside corners are available to accommodate 120/135 corners. Inside metal corners are available for both 90 and 120/135. The same profile angles for both outside and inside corners are available in 3/4" radius bullnose as well. L-trims are also available in a wide range of sizes. These products are used to trim wallboard where it abuts with other building components such as suspended ceilings, beams, concrete or untrimmed door and window jambs.
Laramie Drywall has builders that demand paper-faced corner bead. Dietrichs Goldline bead is our product of choice. Goldline doesn't ball, nap or fuzz when sanded. Goldline means a better job for the owner and less call backs for us. The bottom line is a winwin for everyone.

Superior 90 outside corner drywall finishing tape-on bead eliminates unsightly corner cracks, chips and nail pops.
Paper-Faced Metal Outside Corner, Tape-On Bead (G1WO, G1UO, G1XW, G1XU, G1SU)
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. Will not be damaged by sanding. Superior adhesion, bonding and paintability. Does not require nose coating.
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.

Veneer, Stucco & Plaster Beads & Trims Overview
VENEER, STUCCO & PLASTER BEADS & TRIMS OVERVIEW

Veneer plaster continues to grow in popularity as a wall finishing system. The speed of application for one-coat systems makes it competitive with drywall, and the added smoothness of two-coat veneer provides a look of luxury and adds ease to decorating. In either case, the toughness of veneer plaster makes walls more durable and resistant to scuffs, gouges and impact damage. Having the right metal trims, control joints and corner reinforcements is an integral part of the wall systems appearance and long-term performance. Thats why Dietrich Metal Framing takes such care in the manufacturing of these components. Our history in the manufacturing of metal lath and accessories for conventional plaster gives us unique knowledge of this growing trade and the product quality that is required to do the job right.
Advantages
StrengthVeneer and plaster are used to create strong, durable finishes resistant to scuffs, gouges, dents and abrasions. Superior FinishExpanded mesh and rigid pronounced edges provide excellent keying and exacting grounds for superior bonding and finishing to minimize cracks and shadowing. Corrosion ResistantGalvanized or zinc for maximum corrosion protection. Zinc products should 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 to coast, L&W Supply looks to Dietrich Metal Framing as a key vendor to supply a broad metal framing and accessory product offering, satisfying our customers job requirements in a timely manner. And, they have been doing that for over 20 years.

Overview
Styles & Types

Veneer Corner Beads are designed to protect interior corners and to establish suitable grounds for veneer finishes. Veneer Trims 701A and 801A are J-shaped trims that come in different depths and grounds to accommodate veneer finishes. Sized to fit 1/2" and 5/8" gypsum plaster base, 701A grounds are 3/32" for two-coat veneer and 801A grounds are 1/16" for one-coat veneer plaster. Also available in zinc for cement board applications. Veneer Trims 701B and 801B are L-shaped trims designed for use at the junction of veneer gypsum board base with rough 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-coat veneer plaster. Use zinc finish for exterior applications. Expanded Corner Beads are designed to protect outside corners and to establish suitable grounds for plaster and stucco finishes. Cornerite should be used on interior corner angles where the lath has been spliced or where additional reinforcement is desired. It should be wire tied to the lath using 18-gauge wire. Strip Lath is a flat expanded metal strip used as plaster reinforcement over joints of non-metallic lathing bases and where dissimilar bases join. Its commonly attached diagonally at the corners of doors, windows or areas prone to cracks. Expanded Flange Casing Beads are used to ensure the proper stucco thickness. They are recommended for use with metal lath and masonry units.
Dietrich #66 Short Flange Casing Beads are used as a universal plaster stop at door and window openings, wall terminations and intersections. Control & Expansion Joints are used in large uninterrupted plastered areas to relieve stress and minimize cracking. Fo u n d a t i o n We e p Screeds protect the stop edges of stucco at the sill plate line. Holes in the flange allow some weeping, but the angular surface of the bead is designed to facilitate the egress of moisture behind the cementitious membrane. 1-3/8" J-Weep is primarily used as a starter track at the bottom of the wall for 3/8" one-coat stucco over 1" foam. Mini-Bead 900 Zinc is a zinc bead used for external corner reinforcements. It has 1-1/4" wide fine-mesh expanded flanges tapered along outer edges for improved concealment and easier finishing with E.I.F.S. basecoats and finishes. NOTE: Dietrich Metal Framing recommends the use of zinc or vinyl for all exterior applications. CAUTION: Joints and corners are a potential point of water intrusion. Dietrich strongly recommends building paper be placed behind all joints and corners. Also, a bead of high-quality caulking should be applied under the joints prior to the attachment of the materials.

Dietrich Mini-Bead 800/900 are fine-mesh corner beads used to provide corner reinforcement for one- and twocoat veneer plaster systems. 1-1/4" wide fine-mesh flanges are tapered along the outer edges to enhance veneer plaster concealment. MB80 has 1/16" grounds for one-coat veneer plaster and 90 keys per linear foot for excellent bonding and strong, secure corners. MB90 has 3/32" grounds associated with two-coat veneer plaster systems. Zinc Mini-Bead (ZB80/ZB90) corner beads should be used in exterior finish systems. Flange attachments can be accomplished by nailing, stapling or clinching.

F.H.A.7. Foundation Weep Screed (FHA7)
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 waterresistant 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.

Metal Lath Overview
METAL LATH OVERVIEW

Metal lath and plaster systems have been used for many years in both residential and commercial applications. Plaster finishes provide a smooth, high-quality wall surface, resistant to high impact and abrasion. Metal lath is used as a substrate to create a strong mechanical bond with plaster and stucco, and is used on interior and exterior walls, ceilings, soffits, fascia and ceramic tile underlayment.
Advantages
StrengthMetal lath embedded with the plaster provides superior strength and reinforcement. FlexibilityReadily shaped to ornamental contours to a degree not possible with other plaster bases. Fire ResistanceWhen used with gypsum plaster, metal lath provides excellent fireresistant construction: up to two hours for partitions and four hours for ceilings and column fireproofing. SecurityMetal lath and plaster surfaces are extremely difficult to penetrate. They provide excellent protection against break-through.
Weight per Square Yard

Metal lath is commonly referred to in weight per square yard. Each nominally sized 27" x 96" sheet equates to 2 square yards or 18 square feet per sheet. Lath is available in three different weights: 1.75 lbs./sq. yd.commonly used as an underlayment in interior ceramic tile applications and also with selected proprietary one-coat stucco systems. 2.5 lbs./sq. yd.commonly used as a substrate for ornamental and contour gypsum plaster or portland cement stucco. 3.4 lbs./sq. yd.commonly used for two- and three-coat exterior stucco applications. NOTE: Not all weights are recommended for all applications. Contact your Dietrich Customer Care Representative for assistance.
Styles
Metal lath is available in a variety of different styles for various applications. Dietrich uses a lettering system incorporated into the product code to indicate available styles. MFlat Diamond Mesh DDimpled Self Furring VV-Groove Self Furring R3/8" High Rib for Maximum Rigidity
226
Overview
Paper-Backed Offset Options

Metal lath is available backed with asphalt saturated paper for applications requiring a moisture barrier. Paper conforms to U.S. Federal Specification UU-B-790a, type 1, grade D, style 2. Dietrich uses a lettering system incorporated into the product code to indicate available offsets.
Self-Furring Junior Diamond Mesh Lath-Asphalt Paper Backed is used where a moisture barrier is required. Its attached in the same manner, but care should be taken to make sure paper overlaps paper during application. 3/8" Riblath is the most rigid of all and provides the added support required when framing is more than 16" O.C. but less 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 mesh used behind common wall substrates to protect against breakins and break-outs. This high-strength security mesh is tough to smash or cut and safeguards walls and ceilings in homes, apartments, offices, stores, storage areas and correctional facilities.
Metal Lath Overview
PPaper is offset by 1" on one side and one end.*
Installation
Lath should be applied with the long dimension across supports and with end joints staggered between courses. The ends of the mesh lath should be lapped 1", and the sides should be lapped at least 1/2". Check lap minimums required by local code. Nail, screw or staple-attach mesh lath on walls, so that the lower sheets overlap the upper sheets. Lath also may be wire tied to the furring channel for ceiling applications. If an end lap should occur between supports, the two sheets should be laced or tied using 18-gauge tie wire. Secure lath to all supports at intervals not exceeding 6". Mesh lath should be formed into corners and carried out onto an abutting surface. Where this is not possible, Cornerite, an internal plaster angle reinforcement should be used.
OPaper is offset by 2" on one side and one end.
*Available for non-code work. The International Building Code (IBC) requires a 2" paper lap per ASTM C 1063-99.
Types
Junior Diamond Mesh Lath is used as a substrate for gypsum plaster or for Portland cement plaster stucco on either interior or exterior wall, ceiling, soffit and fascia surfaces, and can be used under ceramic tile in wall ceiling and floor applications. Its useful in all general-purpose applications, and is the best lath available for ornamental work and contoured surfaces. Junior Diamond Mesh LathAsphalt Paper Backed is used in applications where a moisture barrier is required. Care should be taken to make sure paper overlaps paper and metal overlaps metal in a shingle-like manner during application. Dietrichs paper backing extends beyond the mesh to accommodate shingling application. For external application, 3.4 lb./sq. yd. lath is recommended. Self-Furring Junior Diamond Mesh Lath is attached to substrate through the dimple that furs the lath surface away from a solid substrate. This lath is especially useful as a stucco base or for column fireproofing or replastering over old surfaces. Self-furred lath is required over all solid surfaces.
Paper-Back Installation
Installation of paper-backed lath is best accomplished when metal-to-metal and paper-to-paper contact is maintained. Dietrich Metal Framing uses asphalt-saturated paper meeting U.S. Federal Spec. UU-B-790a as backing on metal lath products. This paper provides a waterresistant barrier that is a vapor-permeable backing consistent with grade D, style 2 paper (other grades and styles are available upon request). Minimum lap requirement for Jr. Diamond Mesh, SelfFurring can be easily attained with P (paper offset 1" on one side and one end). ASTM C-1063, requires a 2" minimum paper lap on all sides. Dietrichs paper offset option O conforms to this specification. Make sure to consult your local building code to ensure proper compliance.

Yield Strength, Fy/(psi or ksi)

Yield strength is the property by which the strength of steel is typically defined. Dietrich 20 and 18-gauge products are manufactured with steel having a yield point of 33 ksi. 16, 14 and 12 gauge products are manufactured with steel having a yield point of 50 ksi. Ksi is short for kips per square inch. One kip is equal to 1,000 pounds.

*Not available in all locations **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.

Minimum thickness is 95% of the design thickness per AISI code
Recycled Content
Light-gauge steel framing is recognized as a recycled content product with the LEED Green Building Rating System**. Dietrich Metal Framing products contain a high content of recycled steel.
** LEED and LEED Green Building Rating System are service marks of the U.S. Green Building Council.

LEED CERTIFICATION
Build Green with Dietrich Metal Framing
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design. LEED Green Building Rating System, as promulgated by the U.S. Green Building Council, is to improve environmental and economic performance of commercial buildings using established or advanced industry principles, practices, materials and standards. Dietrich recognizes the importance and growing agenda of LEED. We are members of the U.S. Green Building Council and have LEED Accredited Professionals on staff. Dietrich Metal Framing can contribute toward LEED credits in several areas. In addition to recycled content, the environmental impacts resulting from transportation can be reduced as our sales and manufacturing facilities are located within 300 miles of 85% of the U.S. population. Contact your Dietrich representative. Ask how our metal framing products and accessories can contribute toward achieving LEED credits on your next project.
Materials and Resources

Materials & Resources Credit 4: Recycled Content intends to increase demand for building products that incorporate recycled content materials, therefore reducing impacts resulting from extraction and processing of new virgin materials. As discussed and demonstrated below, steel building products contribute positively toward earning points under Credit 4.1 and Credit 4.2. The following is required by LEED Version 2.2: Credit 4.1 (1 point) "Use materials with recycled content such that the sum of post-consumer recycled content plus one-half of the pre-consumer content constitutes at least 10% of the total value of the materials in the project." Credit 4.2 (1 point) "Use materials with recycled content such that the sum of post-consumer recycled content plus one-half of the pre-consumer content constitutes at least 20% of the total value of the materials in the project." "The value of the recycled content portion of a material or furnishing shall be determined by dividing the weight of recycled content in the item by the total weight of all material in the item, then multiplying the resulting percentage by the total value of the item." Since steel (the material) and steel (the building product) are the same, the value of the steel building product is directly multiplied by steel's recycled content, or:
Steel Recycled Content Value = (Value of Steel Product) (Post-Consumer % + 1/2 Pre-Consumer %)
The formula above calculates the post-consumer and pre-consumer recycled content percentages for North American steel building products. These percentages and values of steel building products are easily entered into the LEED Letter Template spreadsheet for calculation. To illustrate the application of these steel recycled content values to LEED, manual calculations are shown below for typical Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) and Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steel building products with nominal $10,000 purchases, using 2005 data. Steel building products include light gauge steel framing, structural steel framing (wide flange beams, channels, angles, etc.), rebar, roofing, siding, decking, doors and sashes, windows, ductwork, pipe, fixtures, hardware (hinges, handles, braces, screws, nails), culverts, storm drains, and manhole covers. BOF Steel Recycled Content Value for Typical Product:
Light Gauge Steel Framing Value = ($10,000) (24.6% + 1/2 6.6%) = ($10,000) (27.9%) = $2,790 (Exceeds 10% and 20% goals)
EAF Steel Recycled Content Value for Typical Product:
Wide Flange Structural Steel Framing Value = ($10,000) (56.6% + 1/2 32.7%) = ($10,000) (72.95%) = $7,295 (Exceeds 10% and 20% goals) Information courtesy of The Steel Recycling Institute
