ABSTRACT:
A metal stud having a central web between a pair of opposed flanges includes an opening in the web through which a channel can pass. The opening has at least one straight edge and a centrally disposed bendable tab extending into the opening. The width of the tab is substantially less than the width of the opening. Bending the tab to a position at right angles to the web of the stud provides a surface to which the channel can be attached. A framework is disclosed which comprises a plurality of such metal studs having openings in their webs through which the channel is passed and then attached to the bent tabs.
