INSTALLATION TIPS<br />

■<br />

Subfloor adhesive will improve floor performance, but may<br />

not be required.<br />

■<br />

Squash blocks and blocking panels carry stacked vertical<br />

loads (details B1 and B2). Packing out the web of a TJI ®<br />

joist (with web stiffeners) is not a substitute for squash<br />

blocks or blocking panels.<br />

Shifted joist<br />

Plumbing drop<br />

Additional joist<br />

■<br />

When joists are doubled at non-load bearing parallel<br />

partitions, space joists apart the width of the wall for<br />

plumbing or HVAC.<br />

■<br />

Additional joist at plumbing drop (see detail above).
