Starting at one end of the wall, staple THE NAILER above every stud, up to 24″ on center
Place 2 or 3 staples or 1 tek screw through the beveled face of the stem of THE NAILER
Attach drywall by screwing any conventional drywall screw through drywall into the anti-skate grid surface
FASTENING NAILER TO WOOD FRAMING
The Nailers are attached to the end stud on the bisecting walls or top plate 16″ on center. When fastening the galvanized steel Nailer to a wood framing member us one 1-1/4″ – #6 or #8 course threaded drywall screw.

When fastening the galvanized steel Nailer to a steel framing member, use a Tex or component screw. The recommended placement of the screw in the galvanized Nailer is the center hole.
