The 2x8 DNR Joist Notch Repair Kit (Patent Pending) is a structural steel plate designed to restore the strength of Floor Joists that have been compromised due to over cut notches from the top down (Compression). Notch size is 6" wide and 5.25" deep, allowing for the custom installation of plumbing, electrical, or other utilities. The 2x8 DNR is the perfect solution to offset toilet flange that may be required where toilet drains set to close to a Joist. Fasteners to connect the flange plate to floor are not included. This is because floor type and thickness is not known. Driver tip and drill bit for drilling pilot holes are included. Recommend using oval head wood screw equal to floor thickness.
