Steel Lintel/Angle size question for those in the know

[RR 314]

I removed the exterior wall and had the new window/door unit installed. I now need to get the limestone replaced. Figured someone here would have good advice on red-iron lintel size. Span (opening) is about 21' feet with only about 24" of stone on top. One story house. Load is supported by 3 20" LVLs. I was planning on screwing the lintel to the LVLs 2' on center so think I need at 6" leg on top. I looked at span tables; however, wanted to check with the braintrust. I know Dale M (and others) likely know the answer in their sleep. Thank you.

Just outside Austin. Metropolis of Bee Cave, Tx, America. I bet Westbrook Metals has it. Will check this afternoon.

Any masonry supply should have it with holes already in it, and can cut to length. They will have the lag bolts, as well.

Thanks again. Holes punched already will be a time/life/wrist saver.
