Stem heat is man heat,i want a new house with cast iron heat emiters in every room and a nice steam boiler,with a hartford loop.....for yous that dont know bout that,you just keep on bein a sally an listen to your wife. Leave the plumbing and heating to the manly men.   fyy 22 1/2 to center of T last loop i put in. Now,excuse me....its time for the high life,miller high life time. :)

    Look up the code

    And depends on the beam , but around here you cannot exceed 1/3 the W of the wooding beam and never notch them .. Laminated beams you cannot cut in at all unless you want to take the liability from the manufacture ..
