Shaftwall Studs

Installation Instructions and Details  |  Fire Resistance Ratings  |  Shaftwall Detail Book

Shaftwall studs are quickly becoming the preferred alternative to traditional masonry shafts. Shaftwall is less expensive and lighter than concrete shafts, in addition the product can easily be installed from the exterior of the shaft which eliminates the expense of using scaffolding.

Shaft walls are used to enclose elevator shafts, duct shafts, stairways, and other non-protected floor openings in hotels, office buildings, hospitals and similar non-residential applications.

(1) UBC requires current ICBO-AC86 test information.
(2) Allowable heights are based on transverse load tests complying with ICBO AC86, with studs spaced a maximum of 24 inches on center.
(3) Limiting height is based on the lesser height of deflection or strength.
(4) Limiting heights with deflection greater than 14 feet are based on strength results of 14-foot assemblies
