Double Stud Wall Intersections

msalvo | Posted in Construction Techniques on

I am building a double stud wall house in the upcoming months and am looking for advice on how to handle a certain intersection. The main question being, how should the interior 2×6 wall (circled in red) join with the intersecting 2×4 walls? Im open for any ideas… 
Thanks,
Matt

    Looks like whoever drew that up had a good idea.

    will need to connect the framing together to provide a stable base for drywall.

    Why do you need a 2x6 interior wall?

      Thanks for the advice. It is a 2x6 to have the potential to hold plumbing down the road.
