Description

• Galvanized (G90)

Installation

• Use all specified fasteners.
• Use STC or DTC depending on required loads. STC, installed with DS drywall stop, helps prevent fasteners tearing through the ceiling drywall (see installation illustration).

• Install slot nails in the middle of the slot.
• Products not intended for floor applications due to the frequency of floor joist deflections and potential for squeaks.
