Default maximum opening in a stud wall

allpurpose wrote:
i have a 19' X 11' wall in which i want to install a recessed showcase
in the size of 10' X 2.5'. The showcase will be 10" deep, i.e. 4"
recessed + 6" outside. This is an interior wall between two commercial
spaces and which has 1-3/4"X4" studs every 16".

Is the opening for the recessed showcase within the safe limits of how
much the reframing of the wall can bear?

thanks


Without knowing if it is a load bearing wall no one will be able to help
you. You also may have problems because it is an opening between two
commercial spaces. Those things are generally covered under different and
far more restrictive codes than residential.
