Abstract:
A fire-rated head-of-wall assembly includes a header track having bendable tabs, a pair of which is configured to hold a wall stud in place relative to the header track. An upper wallboard piece abuts against the ceiling and a lower wallboard piece is spaced from the upper wallboard piece to form a gap. A fire-resistant material, such as mineral wool, is positioned within the gap. An outer wallboard piece spans across the gap.

Claim (Index 1):
A fire-rated wall assembly configured to seal a deflection gap in a head-of-wall joint, comprising:\n a footer track; a plurality of wall studs; an elongated sheet-metal header track configured to hold the plurality of wall studs in place relative to the header track, the header track comprising a web and a first leg and a second leg, the first and second legs extending in the same direction from opposite edges of the web in a general U-shape; a ceiling; an upper wallboard piece adjacent to the first leg and contacting the ceiling; a lower wallboard piece adjacent to the plurality of wall studs, the lower wallboard piece spaced from the upper wallboard piece; a gap formed between the upper and lower wallboard pieces; a fire-resistant material positioned within the gap; an outer wallboard piece spanning across the gap and positioned next to the upper and lower wallboard pieces; wherein during dynamic movement of the fire-rated wall assembly, the header track moves with the ceiling and the plurality of wall studs move with the footer track such that the gap lengthens and shortens.
