The plate has tongues on one edge engaging an inwardly directed lip on the Z-stud flange, and means on the opposite edge to affix the plate to the angled web of the Z-stud, such as by tabs which fit into slots on the web. The Z-stud has two rows of slots for use in mounting the plates or for suspending the Z-stud from a ceiling.
