Drywall Furring Channel is a very versatile hat-shaped metal channel,designed for furring out any surface for application of your final finish (ie.metal siding, drywall, etc.). In addition, furring channel, used in conjunction with cold rolled channels, is the ideal system for construction of a drywall ceiling.We have published span tables available for 18 mils (25ga) 33 mils (20ga).

Install 1 1/2 cold rolled galvanized channel at 4" o.c. suspended from floorjoists or deck using the specified hanger wire. (Lighter than #9 [gauge] wire should not be used). Drywall furring channel is installed perpendicular to the cold rolled channel at 16" o.c. Steel stud or D-700 1" x 2" angle may be used for perimeter connection of gypsum board, as shown in Soffit Construction Details.
