Details:
Skyline iJoist Notch Reinforcers when installed according to instructions are designed to restore the full strength of iJoists assuming the following:
- Maximum floor dead load is 12psf and maximum live load is 40psf (PSF = Pounds per square foot).
- The Flange and Web substrate removed does not exceed the opening provided by the iJoist Reinforcer.
- The iJoist spacing is 16″ on center or less (if greater that 16″ o.c. the iJoist Notch Reinforcer is still beneficial and may restore full strength to the iJoist depending on the length of the iJoist span (Please contact us for further information).
- The iJoist sizing and span is in accordance with good engineering practices and/or tables provided in the buiding code.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
a) Reinforcer may be installed with the notch either up, or down.
b) Construction adhesive is not required but can be used.
c) Fasteners will protrude through the web substrate – this is
acceptible, however wood may be used on the opposite side for fastener
penetration.
d) For installation with Flange against the underside of the floor,
though not required, fasteners may be installed to secure the flange to the
floor above for additional compression support. Fasteners are not provided for
this.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-
Postion the steel iJoist Flange on the joist flange centered on the opening. Install one fastener on each end of the steel Flange leaving the fasteners loose enough to allow a small amount of play. (see page 2)
-
Place the Web Plate against the substrate and slide it behind the Flange. Use one fastener at each end of the Web Plate and attach it the through the steel Flange. Install a fastener at each outside lower corner of the Web Plate. Leave the fasteners loose enough to allow a small amount of play.
