A structural connection between wide-flange beams sized per plan integrates a supported beam with a cope flange as required. The supported member ties into the supporting member using a 3/8-inch plate, with dimensions and bolt sizes referenced in the schedule. A 1/4-inch fillet weld secures the connection plate. Dimension X is determined by the larger K dimension of the two connected beams, following the provided sizing table.
