IntroductionThe pioneering USG Boral Partiwall® system is one of the most widely used separating wall systems in the Australian market.

Excellent acoustic performance, ease of construction and design flexibility has made USG Boral Partiwall® the system of choice on many multi-residential townhouse projects.

Continuous innovation of the Partiwall® system has kept it in step with the changing regulatory and market requirements over the years. Some of the Partiwall® innovations that can be found in this brochure and at www.usgboral.com are as follows:

• Compliance with New Zealand Building Code (NZBC). Refer to USG Boral Partiwall® System Technical Statement (STS200/3).

• New cost-effective configuration to achieve up to Fire Resistant Rating (FRR) 90/90/90.

• Staggered aluminium clips on opposite sides of Partiwall® stud for offset floors.

• Services penetrations through Shaftliner™ barrier allowed in the roof space.

USG Boral Partiwall® is an innovative solution for separating walls between attached dwellings:

• that are designed with timber framing within the scope of NZS 3604:2011, or

• are to a specific engineering design using NZS 3603:1993 and AS/NZS 1170:2002.

Material substitution in the Partiwall® system and non-compliance with the instructions in this brochure will void all manufacturer’s warranties and claims of code compliance.

What is Partiwall®?The Partiwall® system is a twin wall system that will provide fire rated and acoustical performance when it is specified and installed in accordance with this document.

USG Boral Partiwall® has been tested to meet Fire Resistance Ratings (FRR) of 60/60/60 and 90/90/90 as outlined in Table 1 on this page.

USG Boral Partiwall® has been shown, when specified with appropriate insulation, to meet acoustical performance of no less than Sound Transmission Class (STC) 59 (See acoustic ratings tables on pages 9-11).

Partiwall® was developed to suit the normal pattern of construction and follow-up trades. The fire-resistant Shaftliner™ panels are held in position by lightweight steel H or I section studs and track. No plasterboard fixing, jointing or finishing is required at this stage.

GENERAL

This installation procedure is easily carried out during the framing stage. The internal wall linings are installed at the plastering stage using conventional installation methods.

USG Boral Partiwall® has been tested and certified to meet FRR’s of 60/60/60 and 90/90/90 and acoustic performance exceeding STC 55 under NZBC Clause G6.3.1.

This brochure covers timber-framed Partiwall® systems. USG Boral can also advise on using the IntRwall™ system in steel-framed walls.

Features and Benefits • Cost effective and fast to construct.

• No wet trades are required.

• Modular construction of Shaftliner™ fire barrier permits easy installation at framing stage - no additional trades are required.

• Permits easy inclusion of service penetrations, such as switches, power points, light fittings and pipes within the partition.

• Internal wall linings are installed at the plastering stage as per normal construction sequence.

The building on the other side is protected by the Shaftliner fire barrier

If the building on the fire side of the Shaftliner fire barrier collapses, the fire barrier is held in place by Partiwall clips on the other side

» General

Partiwall® Design conceptWhile in a conventional fire rated wall system fire-resistant outer linings provide protection to the wall substrate, in the Partiwall® system the main fire barrier is located within the wall cavity and is designed to protect the structure on the side opposite to the fire.

At the same time, the Shaftliner™ fire barrier relies on this structure for support as the structure on the fire side loses stability or collapses.

In order to ensure that the Shaftliner™ fire barrier is not damaged by the collapse of the structure on the fire side, Partiwall® aluminium clips are utilised to attach the fire barrier to the timber frames on both sides. As the clips on the fire side melt, the Shaftliner™ fire barrier is disconnected from the collapsing structure and is supported by the clips and the structure on the protected side for the specified fire rating period.

Steel clips must not be used in the Partiwall® system as their use compromises the integrity of the Shaftliner™ fire barrier during the fire.

For other penetrations contact USG Boral 0800 USGBORAL (0800 874 267).

AcousticsThe Partiwall® system has been the subject of laboratory testing at the CSIRO Acoustic Laboratory at Highett, Victoria.

Acoustical opinions have been determined by Renzo Tonin and Associates Pty Ltd, a member firm of the Association of Australian Acoustical Consultants (AAAC).

Small penetrations of linings in occupancy areas (i.e., switches, power points, light fittings and pipes) do not need to be acoustically sealed (see page 27, Figure 23).

The base junction of the Shaftliner™ fire barrier and floors must be sealed with Firesound™ sealant. Outer layer linings do not require acoustic sealing; however, it is good industry practice to maintain acoustic performance.

Partiwall® allows services such as soil, waste and water supply pipes to be located in the cavities on one or both sides. These pipes emanate noise whilst in use and consideration should be given to providing adequate acoustic separation to the room in the adjacent dwelling.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Fire ResistanceThe Partiwall® system has been fire tested at CSIRO’s laboratory at North Ryde in Sydney. The performance of the various systems has been assessed in CSIRO’s assessment numbers FSV-0381, FCO-2256, FCO-2713, FCO-2016 and FCO-1446.

Partiwall® system provides FRR of 60/60/60 and 90/90/90. In the case of a fire, the structural adequacy and load-bearing capacity is provided by the wall frame on the other side of Shaftliner™ fire barrier.

As the primary fire barrier, the Shaftliner™ is located in the cavity between the frames. The system permits easy inclusion of services such as water and waste pipes and electrical and communication cables, as long as the primary Shaftliner™ fire barrier is not penetrated. Service penetrations are allowed through Shaftliner™ fire barrier in the roof space.

The following penetrations, individually or in combinations, or back-to-back, are allowed in the outer linings and are not required to be fire rated:

• normal residential electrical switches and power points

• data, communications or electrical cables passing through the linings into the cavity

• copper, galvanized steel, or plastic water or wastewater pipes of up to 50mm nominal diameter passing through the linings into the cavity

• cabinets, baths, shower bases or vanities.

An additional layer of fire-resistant plasterboard is required at mid-floor level, subject to the floor design or construction. This extra layer must be used in the roof space construction regardless of the floor design requirements. USG Boral 16mm Firestop® plasterboard is the minimum requirement. For wet or winter conditions, we recommend 16mm Multistop™ 4 due to its additional moisture-resistant properties.

The following requirements are essential to maintain the fire-rating integrity and acoustic performance of the Partiwall® Shaftliner™ fire barrier: • Use only the specified Partiwall® clips to attach the Partiwall® studs to framing members. In the event of a fire, the aluminium clips are designed to melt to allow the framing members on the fireside to fall away, leaving the Shaftliner™ fire barrier intact.

• Other than the clips, there should be no attachments to the Shaftliner™ fire barrier.

• There should be no penetrations through the Shaftliner™ fire barrier. Where a penetration in the roof space is required it must be specified by a Fire Engineer.

• For design and installation requirements of internal plasterboard wall linings, refer to USG Boral Plasterboard Installation Manual NZ.

• To maintain acoustic performance, service pipes must not be in contact with the Shaftliner™ fire barrier.

• All services should run through the framing.

• Insulation thicker than the stud framing is allowed.

• The clear distance between the Shaftliner™ fire barrier and wall framing on both sides should not be less than 20mm nor more than 40mm.

• The 16mm Firestop®/Multistop™ 4 plasterboard laminated to the Shaftliner™ fire barrier should not come into contact with the stud or floor framing. To ensure adequate clearance, it is recommended the gap between the Shaftliner™ fire barrier and the timber framing is increased to a minimum 25mm on the Firestop®/Multistop™ 4 side.

Post-fire StrengthThe exposed Shaftliner™ is designed to resist a 0.5kPa wind load after a fire, in accordance with NZBC Verification Method B1/VM1 Section 2.2.4.

Support Clip SeparationClips on each side of the Shaftliner™ fire barrier H-stud must be spaced at no more than 2700mm vertically and 600mm horizontally unless noted otherwise. For clips spaced between 2700mm and 3000mm, please contact USG Boral for installation details.

FramingTimber framing is to be designed in accordance with NZS 3604 or specifically engineered in accordance with AS/NZS 1170 by a suitably qualified structural engineer to meet NZBC requirements and relevant New Zealand Standards.

Note: Stud spacing is not to exceed 600mm centres.

BracingIf the Partiwall® is required to provide structural bracing values, please contact USG Boral.

Wet AreasIn wet areas USG Boral recommends the use of moisture-resistant internal lining plasterboards such as Multistop 4 or Fiberock® Aqua-Tough™ in order to achieve required fire and acoustic ratings.

For installation details of USG Boral Wet Area Systems refer to USG Boral Plasterboard or Wet Area Installation Manuals NZ.

Linings for Occupancy AreasLinings in the occupancy areas (including Wet Areas specified in some Partiwall® Wet Area Systems) do not need to be fire rated and are constructed using the normal installation and finishing methods outlined in the USG Boral Plasterboard and Wet Area Installation Manuals.

The acoustic separation provided by Partiwall® can range from STC 59 to STC 71 depending on the fire rated Partiwall® system selected, the inclusion of cavity insulation and the type of lining on the outer layer.

Isolated Support for StairsIn order to reduce the likelihood of stair footfall noise passing through the wall into the attached dwelling, it is recommended that stairs should be isolated from the separating wall as follows:

• Use the stringers to support the stairs, at each floor level, without intermediate support from the separating wall in between, i.e., free standing, or alternatively

• Use newel posts, or an alternative structure rather than the separating wall to support the stair structure

• Keep the treads clear of the separating wall.

StructuralMaximum Permissible HeightThe height of the Shaftliner™ fire barrier should not exceed 12 metres.

Wind Speed and Seismic ConditionsThe Partiwall® system is suitable for use in all NZS 3604:2011 Wind and Earthquake Zones. The Partiwall® system may also be specifically engineered for other designs using AS/NZS 1170.

Set Out and Fixing Installation of the Shaftliner™ fire barrier requires the attachment of the Partiwall® H-studs and end tracks to timber framing members using aluminium clips. Set out timber framing to allow for the required clearances on both sides of the Shaftliner fire barrier and later fixing of the Partiwall clips to wall plates and roof frame.

After the timber framing on one side has been completed, the Shaftliner fire barrier is installed and attached to the completed frame with Partiwall aluminium clips. When the framing on the other side is completed, the Shaftliner fire barrier is attached with Partiwall aluminium clips to that side.

The sequence of construction should be planned to accommodate progressive erection of the Shaftliner fire barrier.

Note: The base track of the Shaftliner fire barrier must be fixed with approved steel only anchors spaced at 600mm max centres. Plastic-sleeved fasteners are not permitted (see Table 2, page 8).

INSTALLATION OF SHAFTLINER™ FIRE BARRIER

Do • Do use Partiwall® clips at every Partiwall® stud and

not more than 2700mm above lower clip line or base track.

• Do locate and fix down bottom track adequately.

• Do seal at bottom track.

• Do install USG Boral Firepack™ at wall ends and top, as specified, foil side to Partiwall framing.

• Do cut Partiwall® stud and Shaftliner™ panels to the same length.

• Do insert Partiwall® stud and Shaftliner™ fully into the base track.

• Do insert Shaftliner™ panels fully into the Partiwall® studs.

• Do use the specified fasteners for the aluminium Partiwall® clips.

• Do ensure where Firestop®/Multistop™ 4 is used, it is installed with the recessed edge up.

Don’t • Don’t use damaged materials.

• Don’t penetrate the Shaftliner™ other than in the roof space as per USG Boral’s details.

• Don’t exceed specified clip spacing.

• Don’t use steel clips.

• Don’t position the track 6mm gap under Partiwall® studs. Tracks should be used in full lengths.

• Don’t run services in the gap between the Shaftliner™ fire barrier and the framework.

• Don’t use Partiwall® H-stud in lieu of Partiwall® track as edge capping, nor as a horizontal joint in the Shaftliner™ fire barrier.

Protection from WeatherTo prevent damage from the weather, all materials must be suitably protected during construction.

USG Boral recommends that exposure of the Shaftliner fire barrier to the elements should be minimised, and that it should be protected if exposure is likely to exceed one month or when periods of intense inclement weather, such as heavy rain or high winds, are expected. Internal lining must not take place until the Shaftliner™ is dry and framing moisture content is less than 18%.

Temporary exposure of Shaftliner panels to moisture should not downgrade their fire resisting properties as long as there is no physical damage to the panels in a wet state.

USG Boral also recommends that the concrete slabs on which the Shaftliner fire barrier is erected should be level, free draining and free of depressions where water can collect, removing the possibility of the panel standing in the water for any length of time. The specified 6mm gap between the adjacent bottom track sections will facilitate drainage of water from the track.

When installing Firestop®/Multistop™ 4 at mid-floor or in roof areas, position it with the recessed edge facing the roof to minimise moisture entering the plasterboard core.


• Ensure that Shaftliner™ panels, Partiwall® studs and end tracks are the same length. Cut to length if required.

• In a multi-level Shaftliner fire barrier, Partiwall studs at upper levels must align with the studs below.

• Partiwall aluminium clips must be installed progressively as the Shaftliner fire barrier is erected.

• Partiwall aluminium clips must be spaced at maximum 600mm horizontally and 2700mm vertically.

• For aligned floors, Partiwall aluminium clips must be directly opposite on both sides of the Partiwall studs.

• For offset floors, Partiwall aluminium clips can be staggered in line with the floors on each side of the wall (see Figure 8).

• Fix Partiwall aluminium clips to Partiwall studs with 2 x 10g x 16mm Type 'D' drill point wafer head screws (2 x 10g x 30mm Type 'D' drill point wafer head screws if fixing through 16mm Firestop®/Multistop™ 4 plasterboard).

• Fix Partiwall aluminium clips to the timber frame with 2 x 6g x 25mm Type 'W' timber screws or 2 x 2mm x 30mm galvanised nails.

• Shaftliner fire barrier must be adequately braced against wind forces until the building is enclosed.



Installation Procedure (PWT60.1)

INSTALLATION OF SHAFTLINER™ FIRE BARRIER

Step 2: Install first Shaftliner panel • To enable fixing of the aluminium clip, cut the first Shaftliner panel to width

so that its edge falls not less than 50mm from the timber stud.

• Fit the Shaftliner panel fully down into the Partiwall base track and align with the end of track.

• Fit the Partiwall end track tightly over the outer edge of the Shaftliner panel and screw fix end and base tracks junction with 10g x 16mm Type ‘D’ drill point wafer head screws.

• Fix the Partiwall end track to the timber frame with a Partiwall aluminium clip.

Step 4: Continue installing Shaftliner panels and Partiwall studs • Continue to install Shaftliner panels and Partiwall studs until reaching end of the

wall.

• As framing progresses fix the Partiwall studs to the timber framing with Partiwall aluminium clips.

• Cut the last Shaftliner panel in line with the end of the Partiwall base track. Fit the Partiwall end track tightly over the edge of the panel and screw fix end and base tracks junction with 10g x 16mm drill point wafer head screws on both sides.

• Fix end track to the timber frame with a Partiwall aluminium clip.

Step 3: Install first Partiwall stud and clip • Fit the Partiwall stud fully down into the Partiwall base track and move tight

over the edge of the Shaftliner panel. Tap lightly to give a snug fit.

• Fit the second Shaftliner panel into the Partiwall base track and push tight into the Partiwall stud.

• Fix the Partiwall stud to the timber frame top plate with a Partiwall aluminium clip.

Step 1: Install base track • Use full track lengths, spaced 6mm apart.

• Position Partiwall track at min 20mm clearance along the full length of the timber frame, starting and ending in line with the timber frame.

• Fix each track length to the foundation with approved all-steel fasteners at 600mm maximum spacing and at both ends.

Partiwall studs on upper levels must

align with studs below

INSERT DETAIL

Step 10: Seal for fire • Install continuous USG Boral Firepack® mineral fibre packer at external wall

junctions (brick veneer construction only) and under the roofing.

• Fill cavities between the roof battens with compressed USG Boral Firepack mineral fibre packer.

• Ensure the foil side of the Firepack is to the Partiwall frame.

Step 9: At roof • Measure and cut Shaftliner panels and Partiwall studs to the pitch of the roof.

• Allow a 25mm gap at the top of Shaftliner panels for frame shrinkage and roof movement in pitched roof, flat metal roof, parapet and box gutter applications.

• Fix Partiwall track on rake and fix Partiwall studs to the roof frame on one side with Partiwall aluminium clips.

• Screw-fix top and end track junctions with 10g x 16mm Type 'D' drill point wafer head screws.

• Screw-laminate 16mm Firestop®/Multistop™ 4, recessed edge towards roof, to one side of the Shaftliner with 10g x 40mm Type ‘L’ laminating screws at 400mm max centres (both directions) and nominal 10mm from edges. Plasterboard joints do not need to be set with compounds. Ensure joints are tight.

• Screw-fix Partiwall aluminium clips through 16mm Firestop®/Multistop™ 4 into Partiwall studs and end tracks and fix Partiwall aluminium clips to timber frame.

Step 8: Next level of Shaftliner fire barrier • Using full track lengths, install Partiwall bottom track for

the upper level of the Shaftliner fire barrier back-to-back with the top track below and leaving a 6mm gap between track lengths. Screw-fix each track length with 10g x 16mm wafer head screws at 600mm maximum centres and at each end.

• Install Shaftliner panels, Partiwall studs and clips as per level below. Partiwall studs must align with studs below.

Step 6: At mid-floors • Screw laminate 16mm Firestop®/Multistop™ 4 recessed edge towards roof, to one

side of the Shaftliner™ fire barrier with 10g x 40mm Type ‘L’ laminating screws at max 400mm centres (both directions) and nominal 10mm from the edges. Ensure a minimum 150mm overlap above the floor and below the ceiling level. Plasterboard joints do not need to be set with compounds. Ensure joints are tight.

• Screw-fix Partiwall aluminium clips through 16mm Firestop®/Multistop™ 4 into the Partiwall studs and end tracks and fix Partiwall aluminium clips to the timber frame.

Step 7: Install top rail • Using full track lengths, fit Partiwall top track over the

installed Shaftliner panels and Partiwall studs.

• Push top track fully down over the top of the Partiwall studs.

• Screw-fix top and end track junctions with 10g x 16mm Type ‘D’ drill point wafer head screws.

Step 5: Seal base track • Apply continuous Firesound™ sealant along the Partiwall® base track/floor

junction on one side only.

Note: Vertical support of Shaftliner™ fire barrier must not exceed 3000mm in any case.
