Product Details

The NCA provides bracing between floor joists as a critical contribution to the structural strength of a floor. Installed in pairs, this nail less 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.

Key Features

Nail less bridging installation eliminates callbacks for nail squeaks
Precision-formed into a rigid "V" section
May be installed before or after sheathing, from the top or bottom
Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance
Keeps floor system continuity and prevents joist rotation
Installs with built-in prongs that eliminate nail squeaks
Support floor joists with a depth-to-thickness ratio of six or more with bridging at intervals not exceeding 8 ft, if span is greater than 8 ft, install on 2 x 8 or larger joists, if span is greater than 16 ft, use more than one pair
Tension bridging works only in tension, so must be used in cross pairs
Install bridging tightly; loose installation may allow floor movement
