(1) All dimensions are inches or mils, uncoated.

(2) U.S. standard gauge for uncoated hot- and cold-rolled

sheets. Gauge numbers are only provided as a reference

and should not be used to order, design or specify steel

studs or joists.

(3) Minimum thickness of material delivered to the job site.

(4) Design thickness of steel studs / joists shall not exceed

the minimum thickness divided by 0.95.

The Max. Drilling Capacity = the

Length of the Unthreaded Section

from the Point to the First Thread

(Point Size).
