Overview Steel thickness Standards & specific ations The steel thickness of a product or component is referenced in terms of gauge or mils. The mil thickness measures the uncoated base metal material, and is a key contributor to the strength of the product. All structural properties are developed in accordance with the American Iron and Steel Institute’s “Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members.
8 Overview Cl ar kD i e t r ich LEED I n f o r m a ti o n a n d R e q u i r e m e n t s ® The future of building is all about the future of the environment. ClarkDietrich products are manufactured from 100% recyclable cold-formed steel and contain both pre- and post-consumer recycled content. Steel is infinitely durable, providing strength throughout the lifetime of the structure. Due to our nationwide manufacturing locations, our products are often within a 500 mile radius of your project.
9 Interior Framing The inherent properties of steel make it a superior alternative to wood for interior framing: it’s light, strong, versatile and noncombustible. With corrosion-resistant coatings, steel also adds durability and sustainability to your buildings. All of which means that steel is a perfect solution for a variety of nonload-bearing applications, such as partition walls, ceilings and column fireproofing in all types of low- to high-rise commercial structures—as well as residential dwellings.

Remove plastic tape (protects 1/4" opening x 7/16" deep reveal) after compound is applied and finished.
71 M e ta l L at h a n d Acc e s s o r i e s Whether using conventional or veneer plaster, having the right trims, control joints and corner reinforcements is an integral part of the wall system’s appearance and long-term performance. ClarkDietrich’s history in the manufacturing of metal lath and accessories gives us unique knowledge of this trade and the product quality it requires.
72 me tal l ath G a lv a n i z e d J u n i o r ™ M e s h L a t h ClarkDietrich Junior™ diamond mesh lath is used as a substrate for gypsum plaster or for Portland cement plaster stucco on either interior or exterior walls, ceilings, soffit and fascia surfaces, and can be used under ceramic tile in wall, ceiling and floor applications. It’s useful in all general-purpose applications and is the best lath available for ornamental work and contoured surfaces. Product code Weight (lbs/yard2) LAM (O) 1.
me tal l ath 73 3/8 " H i g h R i b L at h ClarkDietrich 3/8" high rib lath is the most rigid of all laths and provides the added support required when framing is more than 16" o.c. but does not exceed 24" o.c. Commonly used for soffits and ceilings under steel or wood joist construction and metal-reinforced concrete floors. 3/8" V-shaped ribs run the length of the sheet at 3-7/8" intervals and inverted 3/16" intermediate ribs. Product code Weight (lbs/yard2) LAR 3.
74 me tal l ath barrier mesh This tough, rigid heavy-gauge security mesh is used behind common-wall substrates to protect against break-ins and break-outs. Tough to smash or cut, it safeguards walls and ceilings in homes, apartments, offices, stores, vaults, storage areas and correctional facilities.

76 CORNER AND CASING BEADS # 1 A E x p a n d e d F l a n g e C o r n e r B ea d ClarkDietrich 1A expanded flange corner bead is used to provide strong corner reinforcement for conventional plaster applications. A solid metal nose provides a straight, rigid ground for screeding, and the 2-7/8" or 3" flanges can be flexed easily over irregular, uneven surfaces. Plaster keys near the solid nose provide increased reinforcement where needed and ensure straight corners.
CORNER AND CASING BEADS 77 Designed for use with select, tested and approved one-coat plaster systems, this version of the #66 expanded flange casing bead includes weep holes for moisture dissipation. Expanded flange is 3-1/8" wide to aid plaster keying. NOTE: It is important to remember that casing beads with weep holes punched in the ground flange are for tested and approved one-coat systems. No other applications are implied or suggested.
78 CONTROL and EXPANSION JOINT S D o u b l e-V Co n t r o l J o i n t Double-V expansion control joints relieve the stresses of basic expansion and contraction associated with inherent shrinkage during stucco curing and general thermal changes. Resists corrosion, plus expanded flanges allow for proper keying and easy installation. Ground heights include 3/8" for thin coat plaster and 1/2," 3/4" and 7/8" for conventional plaster.
