New Construction Wall Details Install Instructions - 5

SPECIAL EAVE AND WALL DETAILS

The detail to the right shows how a conventional preengineered wall with normal sized girts can be well insulated using this system. Either hat channels or steel studs can be installed vertically on 16" or 24" centers and the drywall applied to them.
When using hat channels it might be necessary to specify an intermediate girt in the lower seven foot (or more) girt span when ordering the building to provide adequate support for the lighter channels.
All the electric, phone and computer wires can be placed in the open hat channel/steel stud cavity created along with the receptacle boxes. This allows the integrity of the vapor barrier to be mainteained, unlike a standard stud wall that is full of sub-contracters installations. (Note: Wires can be run horizontally between the vapor barrier and studs by simply pushing in on the vapor barrier.)
Limited holes can be drilled in the column webs (and in limited numbers) for the horizontal running wires. Contact your building manufacturer for limitations.

 

For use if a more finished look is desired where the roof and wall systems adjoin
each other. Recommended when roof and wall systems are different colors.
