A plumbing wall with water-resistant board, deep studs for the pipes, and batt insulation.
Layers, in order
| # | Layer | Thickness | Spacing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5/8 in water-resistant FC60 gypsum board, side A | 5/8 in | |
| 2 | 6 in metal studs | 6 in | at 16 in o.c. |
| 3 | Batt insulation | 3 1/2 in | |
| 4 | 5/8 in water-resistant FC60 gypsum board, side B | 5/8 in |
Build steps
- Frame the studs (Framer). Tracks, then studs at 16 in.
- Board side A (Drywall). Board on one side of the studs.
- Insulate the cavity (Insulator). Insulation fitted between the studs.
- Board side B (Drywall). Board on the other side.
Materials per 100 sf of wall
From the takeoff of Setout's sample building, across every wall of this type on the typical floors, after doors and windows are cut out. Use it to sanity-check a bid, not as a substitute for a takeoff.
| Material | Per 100 sf |
|---|---|
| 5/8 in water-resistant FC60 gypsum | 200 sf |
| R10 batt | 100 sf |
| 6 in main tracks | 24.6 lf |
| 6 in regular stud layout positions | 12.3 ea |
