I joined the union where I am after having moved 600 miles north and these idiots up here learned long ago the wrong way to turn studs and hang drywall so that the board is left protruding on one side because of this and starting the wrong direction with their hanging. I had to get it straight from Dietrich and print it for some of them to believe me...lost it, but need to get it in letter format again and tape it to every game box on every job. It's something so simple that so many get wrong too often up here in NY upstate.

The difference between a stud and a track is the "flange" on a stud which has a 90° leg of 1/4" at the end that adds rigidity, this usually comes after the leg which is called a flange in a stud and the flange is usually 1-1/4" on a non structural stud and 1-5/8" on a structural stud and a track has a 90° leg of 1-1/4". You can order an unpunched stud so you can't always go by the opening on a stud to say that it is a stud.

@oscarrobledo57274 жыл бұрын
Oscar robledo in areas with a lot bentonite in the soil, when the soil becomes wet it expands and will heave a concrete slab in a basement. In these areas (example, Colorado) it’s building code to have a gap of 1.5”-3” between a partition and the floor joists in a basement. You cannot pass inspection without this gap or “float”. Typically, a treated wooden 2”x4” is nailed to the floor and the wooden wall is attached to the overhead joists with a gap just above the treated 2”x4”. Then holes are drilled and spike nails inserted in the holes to keep the wall from swaying. I checked with out town’s engineer, and for steel studs, the wall is built and attached directly to the concrete floor of the basement. The wall needs to be 2” shorter than the height of the basement. Sliptrack (“U” snapped track with high sides) is attached to the joists above and the top of the wall sets into sliptrack. This allows the wall to slip up and down with movement of the concrete slab. Another iteration involves using a sliptrack with a series of elongated slots used to screw the wall to the sliptrack.
@ppainterco4 жыл бұрын
paul painter thank you for the information. I misunderstood the previous information (floating). I see that the expansion it has logic. But,If it’s seating on top of concrete, and expect that the concrete will move , that’s something interesting. I had worked on clay soil and understand the behavior of the water and clay, but we mixed with some regular soil, plus triturated stone, foam insulation and for moist barrier 4 mil poly sheating. (After study of soil) Thank you for the angle view, that’s info that come handy on different escenarios.

Mr. Ramirez, I was hoping you could help me with a question. We have a commercial building (restaurant) with metal stud walls. Because we wash the floor every night the bottom of the studs are beginning to rot due to the excessive water intrusion. Can I cut the bottom of the studs one at a time and replace just the bottom portion??

've seen on KZhead where metal stud walls are being put up in basements. The metal stud wall is just inches away from the basement cement wall. They only put one screw in the bootm of the metal stud and one screw in the top of the metal stud. With only one screw at the top and bottom of the studs, would the studs be strong enough to hold two sheets of 5/8 drywall. One sheet put on and the second one put on top of that one?

About to frame out a fireplace, and would love to know what screws are being used.
buen video rigo
Thank you 😊 Can we use extruded aluminum as studs or is that no it structurally sound
Thank you for showing this
good video.
Well done! I would like to share this video with my new apprenticeship instructors to give them an example of how to conduct a proper class.
Good job 👏 👍
Very helpful...Thanks.

This was an excellent training class. What does he say at 17:49 "cold rolled runner?" I'm seeing results for "Cold Rolled Channel"
Thanks for sharing
Thank you.
great job sir
Thank you Mr.Ramires for your training it was so good very easy to understand,I just have a question,what's the name of the part that hold the 2 metal studs in the hole where the plumbing or electric ?
Ulises Mora crc or black iron
@@ricardomontes4940 thank you!
buen maestro Good Teacher
Fantastic video Sir. can you show more? thank you
The difference between a stud and a track is the "flange" on a stud which has a 90° leg of 1/4" at the end that adds rigidity, this usually comes after the leg which is called a flange in a stud and the flange is usually 1-1/4" on a non structural stud and 1-5/8" on a structural stud and a track has a 90° leg of 1-1/4". You can order an unpunched stud so you can't always go by the opening on a stud to say that it is a stud.
Great video! What type of fasteners/screws are you using? Thx.
Typically it is a pan head self tapping metal stud screw, in the industry many people call them peanut screws I believe they are 1/4 in
Awesome
Thanks man!
Nice well done
Gracias, Rigo. I learned a lot in a short period. Now to see if you have a video for installing a floating steel stud wall, per code in expansive soil areas.
I don’t think that’s possible, metal track/studs have a coat of maximum of G90 making it strong against but not rust proof. Installing it on direct soil it’s not very think full. MHO.
Oscar robledo in areas with a lot bentonite in the soil, when the soil becomes wet it expands and will heave a concrete slab in a basement. In these areas (example, Colorado) it’s building code to have a gap of 1.5”-3” between a partition and the floor joists in a basement. You cannot pass inspection without this gap or “float”. Typically, a treated wooden 2”x4” is nailed to the floor and the wooden wall is attached to the overhead joists with a gap just above the treated 2”x4”. Then holes are drilled and spike nails inserted in the holes to keep the wall from swaying. I checked with out town’s engineer, and for steel studs, the wall is built and attached directly to the concrete floor of the basement. The wall needs to be 2” shorter than the height of the basement. Sliptrack (“U” snapped track with high sides) is attached to the joists above and the top of the wall sets into sliptrack. This allows the wall to slip up and down with movement of the concrete slab. Another iteration involves using a sliptrack with a series of elongated slots used to screw the wall to the sliptrack.
paul painter thank you for the information. I misunderstood the previous information (floating). I see that the expansion it has logic. But,If it’s seating on top of concrete, and expect that the concrete will move , that’s something interesting. I had worked on clay soil and understand the behavior of the water and clay, but we mixed with some regular soil, plus triturated stone, foam insulation and for moist barrier 4 mil poly sheating. (After study of soil) Thank you for the angle view, that’s info that come handy on different escenarios.
Nice
Do More videos, they r very useful
Great lessons, Union all day!
Informative for a beginner but for doorways you need to double up studs on either side and the header gets a center stud
Mr. Ramirez, I was hoping you could help me with a question. We have a commercial building (restaurant) with metal stud walls. Because we wash the floor every night the bottom of the studs are beginning to rot due to the excessive water intrusion. Can I cut the bottom of the studs one at a time and replace just the bottom portion?? NOTE: The damage covers approximately 8" up the bottom of the wall studs so I would want to cut and replace the bottom 8 " if possible.
Jeff Morton what happened to the caulking?
I would rebuild the studs top to bottom, then seal it with caulk.
Great video. Very Clear instruction..Thank you very much
:03 for a second there I thought he was going to blame someone for killing his father.
LMAO. No one got that. Good one.
've seen on KZhead where metal stud walls are being put up in basements. The metal stud wall is just inches away from the basement cement wall. They only put one screw in the bootm of the metal stud and one screw in the top of the metal stud. With only one screw at the top and bottom of the studs, would the studs be strong enough to hold two sheets of 5/8 drywall. One sheet put on and the second one put on top of that one?
Yes... actually screws are not needed, just the outer studs. The other studs what gives rigidity is the drywall.
Hello, Mr instructor looks like you know a thing or two. Here at Baptiste, we have 8yrs formal training and the proper use of instruments for our trade is vital to fellow manufactures spec. Too have a level upright is called plum not leveled to have it leveled is from left to right
Plumb, not plum...
Plumb is in vertical Level is horizontal
Make more videos! 👍
what does the hard hat do for you in this precise situation?
Overall a good video. The comments about "using a square" and all that other stuff is being too picky and some of it is actually incorrect. Maybe you guys should make a video to back him up? Just an idea. Maybe he'll make a pt 2 going into more detail for an advanced group. Good beginner video.
He doesn't know
9:25 If you're doing a long wall it may help to put the top channel on the ceiling first. Having that bottom track on the floor while you're putting the top track up really gets in the way and can catch a lot of damage.
How so
