How close from joist hanger is it ok to drill a hole?
How close from joist hanger is it ok to drill a hole?
(OP)
I can't find any guidelines on this. How close from a joist hanger is it ok to drill a hole? Or is it irrelevant?
(joists are 2x12, hole 3.5")
The answer I'd like is anywhere between 1-5" ha.

The 3.5" hole will be about 1/3 through the joist, so nowhere near the ends of the joists.

My only worry is the nearby joist hanger. Ideally, I'd drill it as close as possible to the hanger (1" or so. But it feels like there has to be a minimum clearance rule somewhere...)

Of course! That makes sense. Why didn't I see that? My grand-kids would say "old and slow".
A distance 'd' away from hanger would be desirable, but it probably is not critical.
