an elongate metal profile comprising a vertical leg, an upper leg and a lower leg, the upper leg extending in a first direction from an upper edge of the vertical leg, the lower leg extending in the first direction from a lower edge of the vertical leg, and the upper leg spaced from the lower leg by a first vertical length, wherein the upper leg and the lower leg are configured to be oriented to extend in a direction away from a header track in use; and
a fire-rated board member nested within a space defined by the elongate metal profile between the upper leg and the lower leg, the fire-rated board member having a second vertical length from an upper end to a lower end of the fire-rated board member, the second vertical length being less than the first vertical length;
wherein the upper leg comprises a first portion, a second portion positioned along a same plane as the first portion, and a downward extending protrusion connecting the first portion to the second portion.
