DESCRIPTION

SOLID TYPE AREASEPARATION WALLThe H-Stud Area Separation

Wall consists of 2" light-gauge steel H-Studs whichsecure two layers of 1" Fire-Shield Shaftliner or 1" Fire-Shield Shaftliner XP boardbetween adjacent studs.

Shaftliner board is faced withgreen moisture-resistantpaper and Shaftliner XPboard is faced with purplemoisture/mold/mildew-resistant paper on bothsides for protection againstweather during installation.Shaftliner panels have abeveled edge configurationallowing for simpleinstallation into the H-Studs.

The H-Studs are secured at thefoundation floor by theflanges of H-Stud Track.The same track is usedback-to-back atintermediate floors toprovide a splicing meansso that the System can beerected one floor at a time.H-Stud Track is also used atthe roof line or at theparapet and at wall ends.

For a fire-rated assemblywithout the need forbattens, a minimum 3/4"air space shall bemaintained between the H-Stud assembly and

Steel framing and XPGypsum Board productspermit temporary exposureto inclement weatherduring construction, butthe constructed AreaSeparation Wall should beprotected from inclementweather as soon aspossible. Materialssupplied to the job siteshould be stored properly,supported off the groundand protected frominclement weather.

TECHNICAL DATA

H-STUD AREA SEPARATION WALL SYSTEM

The fire-protection of gypsum-based Area Separation Walls is demonstrated in dramatic fashionby the results of this actual townhouse fire in which the two-hour fire-rated assembly performedas expected in protecting adjacent properties. Break-away feature allowed collapse of fire-sidestructural framing without pulling down the entire wall.

RECOMMENDATION

*When a 3/4" air space cannot be maintained between the H-Stud assembly and adjacent framing members, 1/2" Fire-Shield C Gypsum battens arerequired to cover H-Studs and H-Stud Track.

Order H-Studs and 1" Fire-Shield Shaftlineraccording to the followingoutline:

Basement wall section –length equal to distancefrom foundation floor toapproximately 3" abovefloor line of first floor.

Intermediate floors – lengthequal to distance betweenfloor lines.

Topmost floor – length toextend to top of parapetwall or to roof inter-section, depending on detail.

BASEMENT WALLINSTALLATION1. Beginning at foundation

floor, attach 2" H-StudTrack to concrete withpower-driven fastenersspaced 24" o.c. Applyacoustical sealant alongedges of track at floor line.

2. Install H-Stud Track onfoundation walls whereArea Separation Wallintersects, if applicable.Fasten with power-drivenfasteners 24" o.c. Caulkedges as with floor track.

3. At intersection offoundation or exterior walland Area Separation Wallbegin erecting by insertingfirst layer of 1" Shaftlinerinto floor and wall track.Insert second layer back-to-back with first and seatinto floor and wall track.Shaftliner and studs may

be set into position fromthe basement floor or feddown through the spaceprovided in the woodframing from the floorabove.

4. Making sure that bothpieces of Shaftliner areseated all the way into thefloor and wall tracks andthat their edges are flush,insert an H-Stud into thefloor track and engage theH-Stud legs over the longedges of the Shaftlinerboards. Seat the H-Studfully so the board edgescontact the stud web.

5. Continue in this manner,erecting two thicknessesof Shaftliner, and installingthe legs of the H-Stud overthe Shaftliner edges untilwall is completed. Again,make sure all studs andboards are tightly pushedtogether. Floor track maybe screw fastened to H-Studs with 3/8" Type Span head screws to assistwith installation.

6. If the Area SeparationWall terminates at afoundation wall, the lasttwo Shaftliner boards willhave to be inserted fromthe floor above. Boardsare pushed down into thechannel formed by theprevious H-Stud’s legs andthe legs of the wall track.

7. If the Area SeparationWall terminates at or pasta framed wall, insert thelast boards conventionallyand cap the end of theArea Separation Wall with

2" H-Stud Track. Fasten H-Stud track flanges at allcorners on both sides with3/8" Type S pan headscrews.

8. The top edge of theerected wall is thencapped off by placing 2"H-Stud Track over studsand boards. Track may bescrew fastened to H-Studswith 3/8" Type S pan headscrews to assist withinstallation.

9. Attach studs to adjacentwood framing with ASWClips. Secure the clips tothe studs with one 3/8"Type S Pan Head Screwthrough the short leg ofthe clip. The ASW Clipsmay be attached directlyto the steel studs orthrough the gypsum boardbatten face into the studs.

10. A minimum 3/4" air spaceshall be maintainedbetween the H-Studassembly and anyadjacent framingmembers.* When a 3/4" air space cannot bemaintained, gypsum boardbatten strips are installedover H-Studs and H-StudTrack on both sides of thewall. 3" wide battens areinstalled over H-StudTrack at foundation androof. 6" battens are screw-attached to H-Studs with1" Type S screws spaced12" o.c. screwed intoalternate legs of H-Stud.Battens are cut from sheetsof 1/2" Fire-Shield CGypsum Board.

INTERMEDIATE FLOORSAND ROOF INSTALLATION1. Attach 2" H-Stud Track to

the already installedcapping track of the lowerfloor’s wall. This back-to-back track installationallows the Area SeparationWall to be erected onefloor at a time. Secure thetwo tracks together withtwo 3/8" Type S pan headScrews 24" o.c. Staggerback-to-back track joints a minimum of 12".

2. Erect Shaftliner and H-Studsin the same manner as forthe basement wall, steps 4-10, except that starting andending procedures varydepending on the exteriorwall intersection detail. Seedrawing details.

3. At roof intersection thewalls are capped-off withH-Stud track. Track may befastened to H-Stud with3/8" Type S pan headscrews to assist withinstallation. H-Studs arefastened to wood framingwith ASW Clips. Thespecific framing procedurevaries according to roofjunction drawing details.

4. Fire blocking must beprovided at intermediatefloors and roof locations asshown in drawing details.Mineral wool or gypsumboard filler may be used.

*Refer to UL Design U347.NOTE: ICC Es, Inc. Legacy

Report 90-26.01 requiresa 1" minimum air space.
