Things to Consider
- For use in new sheet rock walls
- For use during wall construction
- Anchor installs in jambs and is connected via screws to steel stud wall framing
- Ships welded into throat of frame
- Minimum 5/8” gap between each return and edge of anchor for sheet rock to pass
- 1 anchor needed for each 30” of jamb (not used in head on 3-sided frames)
- 16 gauge “Z” shaped anchor
- Flat backside of anchor is even with back of frame profile
- Approved for use in fire rated walls up to 3 hours (180 minutes)
- Can not be lost in transit or on job sites
- Also uses standard base anchor for fastening to floor before wall construction
Red Flags
- Must be noted if anchor needs to be recessed in frame
- Not intended for use in wood stud framed walls
- Framed walls are rarely 100% plumb, square, and level. JD = wall thickness + 1/8” for best results.
