You're plumbing for a customer? Are you a plumber?:whistling2:
Ah- but a bad state to be a plumber? :jester:Believe it or not--in Pennsylvania--a plumber is not needed if the work is up to code----
A good state for the remodeling contractor---Ben will correct me if I heard this one wrong---
sorry ur wrong. I have the paperwork on the joists it specifies that you can drill as long as you are at least 1/8 inch away from top and bottom flanges...also the largest hole for these is 6 and 1/4 inch. there are actually different sizes and models of these beams. Another fact on these particular joints for example is on 2 inch holes you have to be at least a foot away from any load bearing wall where the joist meets it.Plumbing? How about those holes through the engineered joists? If I recall, you can't be larger than 40% of the height of the joist....and there are limitations on where the hole can be...1st 3rd or middle 3rd (should be spelled out by the joist manuf)

Yes geez its not done yet. BTW that wall is NOT a load bearing wall the two outside walls of the bathroom ARE. Do you think im amateur? We have actual licensed carpenters there and asked about cutting and notching before I did so. Straps and plates will be installed when im done piping in.Ok....
How about that gap in the top plate of that load bearing wall? It's my understanding that you have to strap that with MST37's or something like that.

If your not an amateur what are you doing asking for ADVISE on a DIY site.?
ddawg16 was just pointing out things that the average DIY may not know how is he to know that your a professional asking for advise.
I was asking more of a design opinion bc I was fuzzy on the kind of shape I used thought I woukf get a few opinions im sure theres other pros on here. Two if that was the case that he was just "pointing things out" then maybe he shoulda specified such. Anyway this is all offtopic my issue is resolved thanksYes geez its not done yet.
