* indicates ultimate load divided by 3 for the design capacity.

In all cases where a concentrated load is placed over on opening or the design loads exceed the capacity of a panel header, Premier Insul-Beam II should be used if possible or an engineered header assembly is required. More information on this chart can be found in Technical Bulletin #10 (www.pbssips.com).
