| knockout | A hole cut in steel stud, usually in an oval or square shape, that allows for wires to be run between studs |
| nested double joint | A horizontal framework member that extends between king studs in a rough opening to support the structure above, This component is made of three steel channels |
| nested header plate | An opening header created by stacking three steel channels in which the lower two channels face each other, with their flanges overlapping, creating a hollow, rectangular shape |
| nonbearing wall | A wall that acts as a space divider and does not bear the weight of the roof or upper levels. Also referred to as a partition |

| Rated Partition | A wall constructed with fire-rated materials spanning from slab-to-slab |
| rough opening | An opening created in the wall to allow for doors or windows to be placed. This opening measures 2" wider and taller than the door or window to be place in to the wall |
| shim space | The 1/4" -1/2" gap created between a structural component and a finishing element for the placement of shims to aid in the leveling process |
| shim | A wood or metal strip used to aid in leveling plates and frames between structural components and finishing elements |
| sill | A horizontal member at the bottom of an elevated opening, such as a window |
| single rabbet | A door frame featuring one rabbet that contains a door |
| soffit | The perpendicular edge to the stop on a door frame. This element can extend from the face to the stop (single rabbet) or can be sandwiched between rabbets (double rabbet). |
| sole plate | A horizontal member along the bottom of a stud wall. This element joins the studs for the wall and acts as a support for floor joists. Also called the sill plate |
| steel channel | c shaped metal runner |
| stop | An element of the door frame that extends into the path of the doorway to provide a closing point between the elements |
| stud | A vertical framing member that has been mill cut to a specific size. See appendix G for common sizes |
| throat | The open portion of a frame, which fits onto a wall. The size of the throat is dependent on the thickness of the wall |
| top plate | A horizontal member along the top of a stud wall. This element joins the studs for the wall and acts as a support for ceiling joists |
