Steel Strong-Wall®: Installation Information: Standard Application on Concrete Foundations

Do not cut the Steel Strong-Wall® or enlarge existing holes. Doing so will compromise the performance of the wall.
Do not use an impact wrench to tighten nuts on the anchor bolts.
Maximum shim thickness between the Steel Strong-Wall and top plates or header is 7/8" using Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® 1/4" x 3 1/2" screws (SDS). For additional shim thicknesses, see detail 5/SSW2 (PDF).
Walls with 2x4 pre-attached studs may also be used in 2x6 wall framing. Install the wall flush to one face of the framing and add furring to the opposite side.
Walls may be installed with solid or multi-ply headers, see detail 11/SSW2 (PDF).

See detail 11/SSW2 (PDF) for multi-ply header option.
