    <ul>
      <li>Do not cut the Steel Strong-Wall® or enlarge existing holes. Doing so will compromise the performance of the wall.</li>
      <li>Do not use an impact wrench to tighten nuts on the anchor bolts.</li>
      <li> Maximum shim thickness between the Steel Strong-Wall and top plates or header is 7/8" using Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive&reg;  1/4" x 3 1/2" SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws. For top of wall height adjustment, see detail 5/SSW2 on <a href="">p. 69</a>.</li> 
      <li> Walls with 2x4 preattached studs may also be used in 2x6 or 2x8 wall framing. Install the wall flush to one face of the framing and add furring to the opposite side.</li> 
      <li> Walls may be installed with solid or multi-ply headers, see detail 11/SSW2 on <a href="">p. 70</a> for details.</li>
