Is TJI an I-joist?
TJI joists are the original engineered lumber I-joist, and are a brand of I-joists owned and manufactured by Weyerhaeuser. They resist shrinkage, twisting, bowing, and warping, are uniform in shape, use up to 50% less wood than dimensional lumber, and are thus lighter and easier to place.
Can you drill holes through TJI?
Big holes in the middle are fine. In fact, you can put holes that go almost all the way from the bottom to the top of the joist. TJI, for example, say you just need to leave 1/8″ of webbing remaining! For people used to looking at dimensional lumber, these holes look very, very wrong… but they’re actually fine.
What is the maximum hole size in joists?
3-3/4 in.
The hole cannot be larger than one-third the depth of the joist, so the maximum hole size for a 2×12 joist (actual size 1-1/2 x 11-1/4 in.) is 3-3/4 in. diameter—plenty big enough for running cable! You can drill the holes anywhere along the length of the joist (first photo).

How far from end of joist can you drill?
Holes up to 4 in. can be drilled in the middle of the I-joist, away from the ends and load-bearing wall. Keep the distance between adjacent holes at least twice the diameter of the largest hole. For holes larger than 4 in., consult the lumber supplier.
Where can you drill holes in a TJI?

Are TJI joists good?

Can I drill a 3 hole in a 2×10 floor joist?
Simply following building code, you’ll only be allowed to bore a 3-5/64″ hole through a 2×10 joist. A 2×10 is actually only 9-1/4″ deep, and building codes set the maximum hole size to 1/3 the depth of the member (9-1/4″ / 3 = 3.08333″).
Is it OK to notch a joist?
One rule of thumb is to provide twice the distance between holes as the diameter of the largest hole. Also, notching the top of a joist weakens it less than notching the bottom, and you should avoid locating holes (and notches) near loose knots.
Can you notch a TJI?
