The 28NR Joist Repair Notch Reinforcer by Metwood Building Solutions is a great way to solve coding issues because without a joist reinforcer holes are only allowed in the center 1/3rd of a joist with no notches, holes in the outer 1/3rd’s of the joist span must be at least 2″ apart, the hole diameter cannot exceed 1/3rd of the depth of the joist, and finally, the hole for any utility can be no closer than 2″ from the joist edge.
The Metwood 28NR Joist Repair Notch Reinforcer solves all those problems.
