Note 1: These values are for short-time loads due to wind or earthquake and shall be reduced by 25 percent for normal loading.
Note 2: The pin shall be long enough to penetrate through the thickness of the steel a minimum of 6.4 mm.
Note 3: Minimum width of framing is 38.1 mm.
Note 4: These shear values also apply to framing made of thicker steel.
Note 5: Spacing of fasteners along intermediate framing members is 304.8 mm on center.
Note 6: The minimum panel edge distance is 9.5 mm.
Note 7: Values shown reflect a 5:1 safety factor.

Note 1: Values are for loads imposed by wind and shall be reduced by 25 percent for normal loading.
Note 2: The pin shall be long enough to penetrate through the metal framing a minimum of 6.4 mm.
Note 3: The minimum panel edge distance for pin placement is 9.5 mm.
Note 4: Spacing of fasteners along intermediate framing members is 152.4 mm on center for 9.5 mm and 11.1 mm panels when studs are 609.6 mm on center and 304.8 mm on center when studs are 406.4 mm on center. For other panel thickness, spacing along intermediate framing members is 304.8 mm from center.
Note 5: Framing to be spaced 609.6 mm on center or closer except as provided in Footnote 6.
Note 6: The values for 9.5 mm and 11.1 mm panels may be increased by 20 percent and 10 percent, respectively, for framing spaced 406.4 mm on center.
