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 Framing 

Dietrich Metal Framing’s 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 (18 mils) or 20 gauge (30 mils) stud and track. In addition, 

22 gauge (27 mils) while less common, is also available. 

Dietrich 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 depth. All interior studs have flanges or faces that are knurled for 

quick screw attachment of drywall or plaster facing materials. Knurling grabs the 

screw point to prevent riding (walking) or paper tears. 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. 

Dietrich Metal Track (or runner) is available in corresponding sizes and is offered in 

a variety of leg heights including 1", 1-1/4", 2" and 3" legs. The 1-1/4" leg track is the 

industry standard. Additionally, 25 gauge drywall track is available with a hemmed or 

safety edge in certain regions. This product (referred to as hemmed track) has a 180˚ 

bend rolled into the exposed edge of the leg to create a smooth, burr-free edge for 

safer handling. 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.

Deflection 

Track Systems 

Deflection products and 

systems are used in wall 

assemblies that are subjected 

to deflection 

including seismic disturbances, 

foundation settling, and normal head-of-wall 

compression. Deflection products allow for vertical movement 

while maintaining wall integrity and fire protection. 

A variety of deflection products can be used including: 

■ SLP-TRK* Slotted Track. 

■ Long Leg Deflection Track with Spazzer ® 

bridging bar. 

■ Long Leg Track with U-Channel and 

EasyClip U-Series Clips. 

■ Double Track (Overtrack) System. 

■ Fast Top Clip with Long Leg Deflection Track. 

A special benefit of the SLP-TRK ® slotted track is that it 

attaches directly to the under side of roof decks or floor/ceiling 

assemblies, eliminating the need for special cutting or 

ship laps. Firestop caulking or spray applied fireproofing is 

required to achieve fire-rated performance. The SLP-TRK ® ‚ 

system has been approved for use by ICBO, the City of Los 

Angeles, the Office of State Wide Health Planning and 

Development (OSHPD) for California, and New York City. 



Framing 

Products 

for various 

Drywall 

Framing 

Assemblies 

Dietrich Metal Framing offers an extensive array of drywall 

framing products used in various framing conditions and 

assemblies. Some of the more common applications include 

wall furring, ceiling and soffit construction, sound control 

and a host of other supporting partition wall products. 

All of these components are manufactured to the highest 

quality standards. They complement the core stud and track 

product lines providing the most effective means to a finished 

assembly.

Overview 



Framing 

Products for 

bridging/ 

bracing 

Bridging and bracing of 

interior nonload-bearing 

framing can be achieved through various methods. 

Three of the more common methods are: 

■ 9200 Spazzer ® Bar 

■ U-Channel and EasyClip U-Series Support Clips 

■ 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.

Drywall Nonload-Bearing Studs (ST-Series ) 

24 

Low-cost, noncombustible framing for partition 

walls, ceilings and column fireproofing. 

Drywall or (Interior) studs are used 

in nonload-, nonstructural-bearing 

wall systems that support gypsum 

panel construction. Drywall metal 

studs are available in 25, 22 and 20 

gauge. Wall height, stud spacing, 

deflection limitations and lateral load are all criteria used to 

determine the proper gauge. Studs are available in stock and 

Drywall (Nonstructural) Studs (ST-Series ) 

custom lengths. Metal studs are twisted into top and bottom 

track and either friction fit, crimped or screw attached at 12", 

16" or 24" on center spacing. 

In contrast to wood studs, metal studs will not warp, twist 

or bow, resulting in straighter walls free from cracks and 

nail pops. Metal studs are impervious to insects, mold 

and rot. They are noncombustible and will not add fuel 

to a fire.

Limiting Heights 

30 

Interior, Nonstructural, Composite Limiting Heights 

Interior nonload-bearing partitions are not designed to carry axial loads. Limiting heights are based on stress or deflection limits for 

given lateral loads. Height limitations depend on the gauge of the steel used, dimensions of the stud, stud spacing and the allowable 

deflection limit. The composite limiting heights include the contribution of the gypsum wallboard sheathing on both sides of the wall.

Most cost-effective, positively attached 

fire-rated deflection system. 

It’s 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 integrates smoothly with a variety of wall 

installation systems and is extremely user-friendly, as well as 

economical. The simple design and easy installation reduces the 

cost of materials and labor. 

SLP-TRK ® slotted track systems comply with the toughest code 

requirements in the country, if not the world. It’s 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 also has met and exceeded the latest 

seismic cycling standards found in UL2079 and ASTM 1966.

• OSHPD R#0371 

• NY City MEA 285-01-M

Rapidly installed prenotched, prespaced 

interior deflection system that saves time 

and eliminates materials. 

■ Eliminates high material cost of custom-made head tracks. 

■ Requires only a single generic Deep Leg track to provide deflection. 

■ Facilitates sprayable Intumescent/Elastomeric firestops. 

■ Eliminates stud spacing layout at deck. 

■ Improves drywall hanging since bow is removed from tall studs. 

■ Automatically positions and rigidly holds studs on 16” 

or 24” centers without fasteners in the head track. 

Dietrich TradeReady ® Spazzer ® 9200 is a prenotched, 20-gauge, galvanized 

steel spacer bar engineered to handle deflection at the head track of 

interior nonstructural stud walls. The prenotched slots and gripping power 

of the 50-inch bar holds studs into a rigid, accurately laid out gridwork that 

has excellent resistance to stud rotation and displacement. 

The Spazzer ® 9200 spacer bar saves time and materials by eliminating the 

cost of custom head tracks and the time required to fasten and remove 

screws or layout stud spacing at the deck. Hanging drywall is also faster 

and easier because the Spazzer ® 9200 spacer bar eliminates the bow that 

often occurs in tall interior studs.

Long Leg (Deflection) Track (TR-Series ) with U-Channel (CHN-Series ), EasyClip Clip Angles (U-Series ) and Screws 

34 

Traditional, single-track deflection system. 

■ Nonproprietary system. 

■ Traditional framing components. 

■ Requires U-Channel 

and EasyClip U-Series Support Clips. 

This traditional assembly 

allows for the deflection of 

floor beams or floor decks 

above interior partitions. 

The single, deep leg track 

assembly requires 1-1/2" 

cold-rolled channel (CHN2) 

and 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" 16-gauge 

(EasyClip U-Series ) clip 

angles, installed continuously 

throughout the upper most 

punchouts (must be a 

maximum of 12" from the top track) to align the studs vertically 

within the plane of the wall. Deflection track details must be 

designed for the specific conditions of a building to accommodate 

the required deflection and end reactions of the studs.

Deep Leg Track 

U-Channel 

EasyClip U-Series Clip 


Traditional, double track 

or track-over-track system. 

■ Eliminates bridging at the top row of knockouts. 

■ Requires custom top track/longer lead times. 

Dietrich DoubleTrack system is a two-piece top track 

assembly that allows for the deflection of floor beam or 

floor decks along interior partitions. A custom-made deep 

leg outer track is installed to the underside of the floor 

deck. A wall assembly is constructed on the floor then slid 

into place. The wall assembly is designed 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 32) has significantly improved 

and streamlined the assembly process.

Spazzer ® 9200 Bridging and Spacing Bar (SPZD) 

36 

Save up to 40% in combined 

labor and materials costs! 

■ 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. 

The TradeReady ® Spazzer ® 9200 bar is a prenotched, 20-gauge, 

galvanized steel spacer and bridging bar. The Spazzer 9200 bar 

facilitates rapid erection of studs into a rigid, accurately laid out 

gridwork that has excellent resistance to stud rotation and 

displacement. Hanging drywall is also faster and easier because 

the Spazzer ® 9200 bar 

eliminates the bow 

that often occurs in tall 

interior studs. 

TradeReady ® Spazzer ® 

9200 bar is a 20-gauge 

bar that is 50" long and 

prenotched to hold 

studs rigidly on 16" or 

24" centers. The slots 

have been preengineered 

to hold 

studs in place by 

utilizing “shear” 

to bridge studs into 

a rigid gridwork.

Interior (Drywall) Framing Products for Bridging/Bracing 

Traditional bridging system that 

provides rigidity and lateral support 

to the constructed framework. 

■ Prevents twisting and lateral movement. 

■ Traditional system. 

■ EasyClip U-Series clips are prepunched for faster 

installation. 

Dietrich U-Channel is available in 16-gauge corrosionresistant 

galvanized steel. The product is available in four 

widths of 3/4", 1-1/2" and 2". For bridging, 1-1/2" and 3/4" 

are utilized with the 1-1/2" channel as the predominant size 

used in bridging 

applications. Standard 

lengths are 10', 16' and 

20'. Custom lengths are 

available on request. 

To brace steel studs 

laterally, the channel is 

inserted through the 

punched knockouts of 

the framing members at 

specified vertical 

spacing. An EasyClip 

U-Series clip is then 

screw attached to both 

the U-Channel and the 

framing member. The U- 

Channel must be 

secured with clips to 

provide resistance and 

proper bracing.

Full-depth bracing that restricts 

rotation and movement. 

■ Used as bridging when framing members 

are unpunched. 

■ Eliminates the need for clips. 

■ Provides alternative bridging when knockouts 

do not align. 

Blocking is field cut from the same size excess track. Solid 

blocking is made by cutting the flanges of the material and 

bending the web to form a 4" overlap on the wall member. 

Solid blocking is installed in the first and last two bays of 

each wall section, with one additional block every 8' of wall. 

Continuous strapping, 2" x 20 gauge or heavier as specified, 

is then installed on both stud faces, or one face if the 

opposite side is fully sheathed. 

Block (TR/ST) 

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 U- or S-Series clip angles. Blocking should be installed in the first two bays, the last two bays and every 8 feet.

assemblies. 

■ Commonly used non-combustible ceiling assembly. 

■ Rigid framework for high-quality finish. 

■ Furring clips easily snap into place for fast assembly. 

In a ceiling assembly 1-1/2" or larger, U-Channel is 

suspended from the overhead structure using hanger wire. 

Drywall furring channel is commonly clipped or wire-tied 

perpendicular to the underside of the U-Channel at 

appropriate intervals for screw-attaching drywall. 

Assemblies are installed per the project specification 

or ASTM C754 requirements. 

Furring channel can 

also be attached 

directly to the 

underside of bar joists. 

The furring is installed 

perpendicular to the 

joists and wire-tied at 

appropriate intervals. 

Wire ties are required 

for fire-rated and 

multilayer assemblies.

Interior (Drywall) Framing Products for Various Drywall Framing Assemblies 

Economical hat-shaped framing 

component used to “furr” out 

ceilings and masonry walls. 

■ Provides noncombustible furring for interior 

and exterior walls. 

■ Wide knurled face prevents screw “ride” and 

facilitates easy installation. 

■ Use to level uneven surfaces. 

■ Available in 7/8” and 1-1/2” depths and 

25, 20, 18 and 16 gauge. 

■ Standard lengths are 10’ and 12’. 

Other lengths available. 

Dietrich furring channel is a hat-shaped corrosion-resistant framing 

component used to furr out masonry walls and ceiling assemblies. In 

concrete wall applications, furring channel is installed vertically to the 

wall surface using concrete nails or power-driven fasteners. Gypsum 

panels are then screw-attached to the furring channels. In ceiling 

applications, furring channels can be attached directly to the 

underside of the building structure using tie wire, screws or powerdriven 

fasteners. Furring 

channel is also used in 

conjunction with U-Channel, 

hanger wire and furring 

channel clips to form 

a rigid suspended ceiling 

framework. Gypsum panels, 

veneers or metal lath for 

plaster finishes are attached 

to the furring. Heavier-gauge 

furring enables greater spans 

and loading capacity. 18- 

or 16-gauge furring is 

commonly used for purlins 

in exterior applications.

Resilient Channels (RC-Series ) for Walls and Ceilings 

46 

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 54. 

■ Single and double leg channels. 

■ Knurled face to prevent screw ride. 

■ RC Deluxe (RCSD) has extra-wide screw 

surface for easy attachment. 

■ Available in 12’ lengths. 

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/RCSE) 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/RCSE) 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.
