and terminations in the work, and at locations required to support fixtures,
equipment, services, heavy trim and similar work which cannot be

located 2 inches from each end and 24 inches apart between, except top
runner parallel to, but not directly under, framing members will be
attached with 2 screws to headers provided at 48 inches on center.

supports, install to produce joints at tops of framing systems that prevent axial
loading of finished assemblies.
