Heat Ducts through 2x10 on 16' span
I'm remodeling a walkout basement that is limited to 7' ceiling ht. Anyone seen a good trick for bringing 3 x 10 heat ducts across floor joists without ducking under them? While I'm sure the 3 x 10 cutout wouln't be kosher, I'd imagine a series of 2" pipes might work.
We're working with standard lumber, spf 2x10's from 1959.
