Study Notes
Materials and Tools for Stud Partition Systems
- Studs: Galvanized steel, available in various widths (2 1/2", 3 1/4", 3 5/8", 4", and 6"). Six-inch studs often used. Length depends on job requirements.
- Stud track: Galvanized steel channels, fabricated to match all stud sizes except 4" and 6".
- Spacer bars: Snap-in-place galvanized steel bars for accurate, automatic stud spacing (16" or 24" centers).
- Tie wire: 18-gauge galvanized steel wire for securing the studs.
- Furring channel: Electro-galvanized steel, used for attaching gypsum wallboard with special drywall screws.
- Gypsum wallboard: 1/2", 5/8" (regular), and Type X used for partitions. Double lamination may require backer board.
- Metal trim: Galvanized steel in various shapes (channel, angle edge) for finishing edges and corners.
- Fasteners: May be required or recommended by manufacturer, depending on floor and ceiling construction.
Tools for Stud Partition Systems
- Portable power saws: Metal-cutting blade for cutting studs to length.
- Levels/Leveling tools: For accurate placement.
- Layout equipment: For marking and measuring.
- Fastening Tools: Powder actuated tools, screw guns with Phillips heads.
