CFS (Cold-Formed Steel) Header Shoulder Studs
CFS (Cold-Formed Steel) Header Shoulder Studs
(OP)
For CFS headers, can shoulder studs be doubled and be effective?
Will the majority of the header reaction bear primarily and ONLY on the web of the first shoulder and virtually no reaction imposed / transferred to the second shoulder?
Will tying the 2-ply shoulders together with track each side create a composite-enough unity for the 2-ply shoulders to act as one?
Thank you!

I don't use shoulder studs anymore--I use side plates which connect the header directly to the king studs (like the Dietrich H Series Universal Header Hanger).

If he needs two jack studs then a header hanger may not have enough capacity.
