Securing Floor joist to steel box lintel

46philh · 24 Apr 2014

We had to make an a small opening between a sleeper wall for access to a sump pump we needed fitting in the subfloor.

A box lintel has been placed across the sleeper wall.

How do you recommend a few of the floor joists are secured to the box lintel which is placed at the end of the joist ?

If it's only a small opening, can't you put a timber beam across instead? Much easier to fix the floor joists to that.
