Interior Steel Stud

Interior partitions and demising walls finished with gypsum board, furring and liner walls against concrete or masonry, bulkheads, soffits and ceiling framing, chase walls and pipe or duct enclosures, and fire-rated or acoustic wall assemblies when the listed design calls for these studs.

Use track of the same width: standard track with a 1-1/4″ leg (for example 362T125-18 with a 362S125-18 stud), deep-leg track with a 2″ or 3″ leg where the head of the wall must allow deflection, or slotted track. Tracks have their own data sheets.

The designator gives web depth, member type, flange width and minimum base-steel thickness. In 362S125-18, 362 is a 3-5/8″ web, S means stud, 125 is a 1-1/4″ flange and 18 is the minimum thickness in mils (0.018″). Order by part number, length and quantity, for example 362S125-18 × 10′-0″.

When the wall is taller than the limiting height for this stud, carries ceramic tile, stone or other heavy finishes, frames heavy or frequently used door jambs, holds shelving, cabinets, TVs, handrails or grab bars, sits in high-impact areas, or takes wind or axial load. Use the Load-Bearing Stud Framing System for those walls.

No. A fire-resistance rating (CAN/ULC-S101, ASTM E119) or STC rating belongs to the whole tested or listed assembly, not to the stud. Match stud width, thickness and spacing, board, screws, insulation and sealant to the listed design.
