H-Stud
ClarkDietrich H-studs are 2" wide
vertical members used to secure two
1" thick pieces of gypsum shaftliner
in area separation wall assemblies.
H-studs are inserted into C-runners
and slid over gypsum panel liner
edges, repeating until the desired
wall length is achieved. Once the
wall is plumbed, it is secured with
aluminum burn clips.

ClarkDietrich C-runner (or

and gypsum shaftliner panels in
area separation wall assemblies.
Attached to the foundation
with powder-actuated fasteners,
C-runner is also used as top track
to cap the H-stud and gypsum
shaftliner panels, with a second
track screwed back-to-back to
the lower runner, to hold the next
assembly level.

Aluminum BuRn Clip
ClarkDietrich aluminum burn clips
are used as part of the H-stud area
separation wall assembly and are
designed to melt when exposed
to fire. The clips hold the area
separation wall assemblies in place
at the floor, roof and truss line
between adjacent units. In a fire,
the aluminum burn clips on the
fire-ridden side of the wall will melt,
allowing the wall structure for that
side to collapse.
