J Track

The J-Track plays a crucial role in shaftwall assemblies, serving as the floor and ceiling component. CT/CH studs and gypsum shaft liner panels are snugly fitted between the top and bottom J-Track sections. These tracks feature unequal legs, with the longer leg (offered in 2-1/4″ and 3″) installed against the shaft. This longer leg acts as a backstop, simplifying the installation of the liner panel. The 3-inch leg track is commonly used as a jamb strut for various closure details, including duct and door openings, abutments, and intersections.
