from 4-1/4" oval to 10" round, based
on member depth.
They oer consistent quality,
predictable performance and high

TradeReady Joist
TradeReady R I M
Another major component of the
TradeReady floor system, the
standard 16'-long rim drastically
reduces framing time and eort.
Rims have pre-formed, prepunched
attachment tabs at 12", 16", 19.2"
or 24" o.c. spacing to eliminate
layout time—and ensure fast,
proper fastener placement.
Embossed stiening ribs on each
side of the tabs provide additional
reinforcement, for a significant
reduction of web stieners (squash
blocks) and support clips in a
majority of applications.
