Wall and roof sheathing
Curious if there is a specific nailing pattern for installing 7/16" wall sheathing to steel studs and a pattern for installing 1/2" on a roof, I am quoting a job in Kalamazoo Michigan that is going to be a 2 story house, framed up completely out of metal studs and metal trusses. Not sure if it has to have some screws and nails or if all nails are adequate.

Hi Tom,
The fastening pattern is typically specified by the Engineer of Record (EOR) on the project as it is dependent on application specific parameters such as load values, span, etc.
If you have any further questions, please reach out to hnatechnicalservices@hilti.com.
Best,
