1. The height of the garage curb above the garage slab
is critical for rough header opening at garage return walls.
2. See Garage Header Rough Opening Height table.
3. Templates are recommended and are required in
some jurisdictions.
4. Foundation design by others.
5. Templates are the same for 4" or 6" thick walls.
*SSWT templates are reversible.Use the same
template for interior or exterior applications.
An additional nut for template installation
is provided with each SSWAB. May also
be used for SSW installation.

Compression Capacity (lbs)
ALLOWABLE OUT OF PLANE LOADS (PSF)
AXIAL CAPACITIES
1. Compression capacity is lesser of wall buckling capacity or 2500 psi concrete bearing limit.
2. Compression capacity of wall assumes no lateral loads present. See allowable in-plane shear load
tables for combined lateral and 4000 lb axial loading condition.
3. Values do not include the 1/3 steel stress increase and therefore are applicable to either the ASD Basic
or Alternate Basic load combinations of the 97 UBC, 2000 IBC or 2003 IBC.
4. See Simpson catalog C-CFS06 for S/SSW models for Cold Form Steel Construction.
1. Loads shown are at ASD level in pounds per square foot (psf)
of wall with no further increase in load.
2. Axial load denotes maximum gravity load permitted on entire
panel acting in combination with the out-of-plane load.
3. Load considers a deflection limit of h/240.
4. Values do not include the 1/3 steel stress increase and
therefore are applicable to either the ASD Basic or Alternate
Basic load combinations of the 97 UBC, 2000 IBC or 2003 IBC.
5. Allowable out-of plane loads for the 12 15 inch walls may
be linearly interpolated between the axial loads shown.
6. See Simpson catalog C-CFS06 for S/SSW models for
Cold Form Steel Construction.
