The F3 Flange can be used several ways. It can replace the standard F1 Flange on our Hole Reinforcer when additional strength is needed, such as extremely high loads. The F3 Flange is very strong and combined with the special fasteners we use, each with 1400 lbs of shear, it cab used as a stiffened.foe any member that has been cut or damaged. The channel of the F3 is 1.5 inches and designed to wrap around a 2x, and can be fastened both from the side and bottom. In older homes lumber is most commonly found to have true dimension rather than nominal. So a 2x8, is actually 2x8, rather than 1.5x7.25. So the F3 would not be able to wrap around, but could be used effectively along side the member. Please take a look at the Hole and Notch. Reinforcers and feel free to text or call 540-589-9669
