I have to install a flitch beam to accomodate a 16' span. The engineer
called for it to sit on two 4x4's on each end. What type of hardware
do I need to tie the beam to the 4x4? Is there some kind of boot or
sleeve that I am supposed to use?

Thanks,
Kevin

Depends on the situation, but a shoe is pretty common.

Why not ask the engineer?

Per Bob M's comment............if the engineer spec'd it, let him
detail it. A phone cal from him or a faxed hand sketch is better
than guessing.

cheers
