Before sprayed fire- resistive materials are applied, attach continuous angles, supplementary <br />framing, or tracks to structural members indicated to receive sprayed fire- resistive materials. <br />b. After applying sprayed fire- resistive materials, remove only as much of these materials as needed <br />to complete installation of cold - formed framing without reducing thickness of fire- resistive <br />materials below that are required to obtain fire - resistance rating indicated. Protect remaining <br />fire - resistive materials from damage. <br />C. Install load bearing shims or grout between the underside of wall bottom track or rim track and <br />the top of foundation wall or slab at stud or joist locations to ensure a uniform bearing surface on <br />supporting concrete or masonry construction. <br />d. Install sealer gaskets to isolate the underside of wall bottom track or rim track and the top of <br />foundation wall or slab at stud or joist locations. <br />INSTALLATION, GENERAL <br />a. Cold- formed metal framing may be shop or field fabricated for installation, or it may be field <br />assembled. <br />b. Install cold - formed metal framing according to AISI's "Standard for Cold - Formed Steel Framing <br />- General Provisions" and to manufacturer's written instructions unless more stringent <br />requirements are indicated. <br />C. Install shop- or field- fabricated, cold - formed framing and securely anchor to supporting <br />structure. <br />1). Screw, bolt, or weld wall panels at horizontal and vertical junctures to produce flush, <br />even, true -to -line joints with maximum variation in plane and true position between <br />fabricated panels not exceeding 1/16 inch. <br />d. Install cold - formed metal framing and accessories plumb, square, and true to line, and with <br />connections securely fastened. <br />1). Cut framing members by sawing or shearing; do not torch cut. <br />2). Fasten cold - formed metal framing members by welding, screw fastening, clinch fastening, <br />or riveting. Wire tying of framing members is not permitted. <br />a). Comply with AWS D1.3 requirements and procedures for welding, appearance and <br />quality of welds, and methods used in correcting welding work. <br />b). Locate mechanical fasteners and install according to Shop Drawings, and <br />complying with requirements for spacing, edge distances, and screw penetration. <br />e. Install framing members in one -piece lengths unless splice connections are indicated for track or <br />tension members. <br />COLD - FORMED METAL FRAMING 054000-8 <br />
