The new window, spanning 61 inches with a 3-2x8 header and single trimmers and single
king studs, that was added to the south facing master bedroom wall is adequate, as
framed; however, please note the following and educate the framers accordingly:
The IRC requires double trimmers for spans exceeding 48 inches. Double king studs
would normally be required to replace the continuous studs that the window omits. For
better serviceability, another king stud could be added to each side. The single trimmers
are only adequate because the opening is in a gable wall and the tributary roof loads are
less than if the trusses were bearing on the wall.
Please call with any questions,
Ernest Kollar
