    Default LVL15 same as LVL F17?

    Hello

    I have to replace an existing LVL15 beam which is a tilling product. Unfortunately LVL15 is very difficult to find, and my timber yard said I can use LVL F17. I have read a few places that LVL15 is the equivalent to F17 KD HW. So LVL F17 should be a substitute for LVL15 (assuming same width and depth)?

    Why are you replacing it?
    If it is because you are changing spans or additional load then the new load /span criteria has to be calculated to do the job.

    Not changing spans or loading. Had to take it down to rectify something and propped up the load temporarily.
