Engineered for outstanding durability and performance, this nailless bridging solution from Simpson Strong-Tie is designed specifically for 2×8 and 2×14 floor joists. Crafted from 20-gauge galvanized steel, it features a precision-formed rigid “V” shape that enhances structural integrity while preventing joist rotation and ensuring continuity within the floor system. The innovative design includes built-in prongs, allowing for easy installation either before or after sheathing and effectively eliminating nail squeaks. With its G90 galvanization, this bridging material offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it a reliable choice for a variety of construction applications.
Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie® NCA provides bracing between floor joists as a critical contribution to the structural strength of a floor. Installed in pairs, this nailless compression bridging keeps joists in place and prevents them from rotating while distributing loads over more than one joist. The NCA features precision-formed v-shaped prongs, in place of nails, to provide a secure grip before the drive-home blow for deeper prong penetration.
