Practice this question and more.

A water closet is located on an interior wall and the soil pipe must pass thru three I joists to reach the stack what procedure is used?

Notch the top chord of the joist.
Notch the bottom chord of the joist.
Drill holes as far from the bearing wall as possible.
Drill the holes as close to the bearing wall as possible.

The correct answer is: Notch the top chord of the joist.

To properly install a soil pipe through three I joists, the top chord of the joist should be notched. Notching the bottom chord or drilling holes may weaken the structural integrity of the joists and compromise the stability of the building. Drilling holes too close to the bearing wall can also cause potential structural issues. Therefore, notching the top chord of the joist is the safest and most efficient procedure for this scenario.
