Framing around a gas line

[Makoto]

Hey guys I've reached the point in my build where I need to do stub joists around this gas line. I know of several ways i could do it and have framed one of them below. Its basically a strongback wrapped around the pipe. I know I can use stud shoes but I have plenty of lumber. I have lots of 2x4's, some 2x6's and a few 2x8's. Don't mind the 2x6, that's just for what may be an access panel later.

Please gimme any advice that comes to mind. thanks!

Why not reroute the gas line?

because that is more difficult and costly than framing around it.

That looks more than adequate to hold drywall or osb. Id just keep building those. A notched 2x6 joist should be fine as well as long as you aren't storing stuff on it.

Looks good to me. The only thing I might think about is adding those thin metal plates like you use to protect wiring going through a hole in a stud. You know it's there but maybe forget, or a new owner, decides for whatever reason to use a 3.5 inch screw to hold something up.

It's a steel pipe so I think it'll be safe. Thanks guys!
