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 ?

When the insulation goes in between joists risk of air flow being blocked. could the insulation just be left away from the air brick or does it still need to have a telescopic vent attached somehow.
