I would expect a RDP to readily sign off on your modification. Check with the truss manufacturer.R802.7.2 ...except where permitted by the manufacturer’s recommendations or where the effects of such alterations are specifically considered in the design of the member by a registered design professional.
Dead center of where I need to place 2 pulleys for the lift. I spent 4hrs there Tues trying to find an alternative for this craptacular design.fatboy said:Just curious why you must make the hole anyway?
Cable needs to pass through the hole without contacting the truss, just a hole, no load imposed.Sifu said:Question is the weight of the object and will it exceed the design load of the truss. Probably not but if it needs a steel cable to carry it that might be worth a quick double check.
Need wiggle room as the cable cannot contact the truss.ICE said:Why so big for a cable that's less than I/4"?
Knowing the nature of this project, I'm betting it's not going to be inspected nor a permit obtained for it. Something I normally don't agree with but in this case I certainly don't see a reason for a permit nor inspection.fatboy said:Props to you for asking the question ahead of time, instead asking forgiveness at the the time of inspection.
Wait until the week after.chris kennedy said:New home (McMansion) getting rough MEP's and framing inspections next week.
