The Studco steel stud framing system ismanufactured in a range of various widths, lengths and material gauges from 0.50mmBMT to 1.5mm BMT. Thisrange of stud and track profiles not only offer greater span and performance, but also are accompanied by a rangeof accessories including noggings, nogging track and bracket joining systems. The design tables in this sectionhave been formulated to comply with the relevant Australian standards, accompanied by substantial laboratoryand field testing. Construction of fire-rated or sound rated wall systems can be achieved by using the Studco steelframing system and accessories.

1800 STUDCOSteel Stud Systems - StudsSteel Stud SystemsThe Studco lipped wall studs are manufacturedin various widths and gauges from 0.50BMT to1.15BMT. Bell mouth service holes are punchedat 500mm centres eliminating the need forcabling grommets. The knurled face along thestud flange provides a positive screw pointlocation. Studs can be boxed or spliced toextend the overall length or to providestrengthening if required.

The friction fit holds the studs in position until the lining boards are fixed; this friction fit also accommodates a slip joint to allow for any movementin the primary structure. To allow for this movement to occur it is not recommended that the lining board isfixed to the track sections unless specifically stated. Studco Track Sections are manufactured in two differentprofiles: a standard track with a nominal leg height of 32mm and the deflection head track with a nominal legheight of 50mm. The standard track is also available with a rolled hemmed edge. This safety hem along theentire length of the track section reduces the exposure to sharp edges whilst also enhancing the rigidity ofthe profile.Fixing CentresStuds should be orientated inthe same direction to makefitting of lining boards easierTrack fixings at600mm centresTrack sectionAcoustic sealant if required600mmFixing centres600mm100mm - Minimum end of track fixingNote:Use 2 fixings at 600mm centres for the 150mm track section,approximately 20mm in from either side of the track.Fig. 3Note:Where tracks are fastened to concrete minimum edgedistances for all fixings must be maintained.Fig. 4Friction FitDeflection HeadFixings at 600mm centresFixings at 600mm centres100mm max to first fixing5-10mmclearanceto stud20mmclearanceto stud100mm max to first fixingFasteners to liningboard as permanufacturer’sspecifications32mm track sectionFasteners to lining board as permanufacturers specificationsNote:Do not fix cornice to walls rigidlywhere friction joints are installed.Row of noggings100mm down requiredif wall lined one side.Note:Do not rigidly fix cornice to wallswhere deflection head is used.Volume 3.1PH: 1800 788 326sales@studcosystems.com.au37

1800 STUDCOSteel Stud Systems - NoggingsSteel Stud SystemsStudco noggings and nogging tracks are manufactured in a range of sizes to suit standard wall stud centres. Noggingtrack to suit custom centres and back to back studs is available. The use of noggings is to provide support and also toprevent twisting of the studs during the installation of the lining boards. Noggings also provide extra support to thewall construction, and in some instances a more cost effective design can be achieved by using noggings. Studcomanufactures two types of noggings, individual noggings or nogging track. Noggings are supplied as pre-cut individualnogging pieces to save cutting on site and can also be installed after the studs and tracks have been fitted. Noggingtrack is a continuous track that can be installed in stud framing in one length and requires only two screw fixings perstud connection. Timber noggings may be used, providing they are fixed as per diagram Fig. 3. Treated timber mustnot be used. The minimum number of noggings for different wall configurations can be established from Table 49. Thisis applicable for internal walls subjected to 0.25kPa. Walls connected to the underside of a concrete slab must beinstalled with deflection head track and an additional row of noggings 100mm down, if lined one side only.Fig. 3 Timber NoggingFig. 1 Nogging18mmFig. 2 Nogging TrackFix thru web of studsyTreated timbersmust not be usedx18mmxTable 57NOGGING 45N7675-60N9275-45N9275-60N1507-45N1507-60Nogging TrackCentres 0mm450mm600mmN/AN/AN/AN/AN/AN/AN/AN/ANoggingLength 12mm562mm412mm562mm412mm562mmxTable 58NOGGING REQUIREMENTSWall HeightWall LiningRows Of NoggingsRequired0 - 4.2m4.2m - 8.4m0 - 3.0m3.0m - 6.0m6.0m - 8.0mWall Lined Both Sides01123Wall Lined One SideNote: Walls connected to the underside of a concrete slab must beinstalled with deflection head track and additional row of noggins100mm down if unlined or lined one side only.
