Homeowner Forum / Construction / January 2007flitch beam installation
I have to install a flitch beam to accomodate a 16' span. The engineer called for it to sit on two 4x4's on each end. What type of hardware do I need to tie the beam to the 4x4? Is there some kind of boot or sleeve that I am supposed to use? Thanks, Kevin Depends on the situation, but a shoe is pretty common.

A phone cal from him or a faxed hand sketch is better than guessing. cheers Bob > In a previous post kevinjweber@gmail.com wrote... >> I have to install a flitch beam to accomodate a 16' span.

I don't know how that didn't occur to me <hangs head and skulks off> SignatureMichaelB www.michaelbulatovich.ca I absolutely agree that the engineer that sized the beam should also be able to design the connection. But if that isn't possible, you are looking at something on the order of: http://www.strongtie.com/ products/connectors/CCPC_APG.html. |
