KFFRAMING SUPPLY

RESOURCE GUIDE · SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Read the whole steel-stud designation before you request material.

A designation helps a contractor identify a product family. The complete product page and approved project documents determine what is actually needed.

Start with the exact SKU, then verify profile, mil or gauge, length, quantity, and jobsite requirements before a quote or order.

THE BASIC IDEA

A designation is a useful shorthand—not an engineering submittal.

Common steel-framing designators often communicate a nominal web depth, member type, flange or leg family, mil designation, and length. Manufacturers and catalog systems can use different formats, so always compare the exact listing rather than matching only the first number.

The examples explain this catalog’s naming pattern. They do not establish member capacity, a product substitution, or project suitability.

QUOTE CHECKLIST

Five details that make a steel-framing request usable

  1. Exact SKU or full designationFor example, 362S125-33-10—not only “3-5/8 stud.”
  2. Quantity and lengthState pieces, bundles, or the takeoff quantity, and keep each length separate.
  3. Approved material requirementAttach the relevant schedule or project note when a specific designation is required.
  4. Jobsite ZIP and needed-by dateThese details let KF review the practical delivery or pickup route.
  5. Unloading methodInclude site-access and unloading needs for a delivery quote.

轻钢龙骨型号:先核对完整 SKU,再核对规格与工程要求

例如 362S125-33-10 是目录中的完整型号:`362`、`S`、`125`、`33` 和长度代码共同用于识别产品。不能只凭 “3-5/8” 或 “33 mil” 判断是否可替代。询价时请同时提供 SKU、数量、长度、工地 ZIP、需要日期和卸货方式;结构选型与法规符合性仍须以批准图纸、规范和设计工程师要求为准。

FAQ

Before matching a steel-framing SKU

Does a similar designation mean two steel framing products are interchangeable?

No. Compare the full product specification, including the exact profile, mil or gauge, length, coating, and project requirements. The approved drawings, specifications, and engineer of record control the selection.

Why should I send the full SKU with a quote request?

A full SKU distinguishes products that can share a web depth but differ in profile, flange or leg, thickness, or length. It lets the material desk check the right catalog page, current inventory, pickup, or delivery route.

Can I use this guide to select a structural member?

No. This guide explains catalog naming only. Structural design, code compliance, and installation requirements must be confirmed from approved project documents and by the responsible project professionals.
