Metal stud

摘要

An insert is provided for a metal stud, the insert being sized and configured to be snugly but slidably received within the stud. The insert further includes an elongate slot in each side wall, located so as to allow fasteners to secure a sheet of covering material to the stud without interfering with the ability of the insert to move longitudinally with respect to the stud, in the event of overloading, earthquake, etc.
