spans the width of the windows and transfers loads to adjacent studs. The header size is based on the calculated
loads.

vertical support for the header. Jack studs are installed on each side of the opening to transfer loads from the
header to the bottom plate.

framing is according to the code ( Utah Residencial Code 2015).
