Simpson Strong-Tie NCA2X10-16 NCA Nailless Compression Bridging - for 2x10 and 2x16 Joist Size, 20-Gauge Galvanized Steel, Features Precision-Formed V-Shaped Prongs

Key Features

• DESIGNED FOR FLOOR SYSTEMS: Ideal for bridging joists, such as 2x10 or larger at 16‑inch spacing, the NCA nailless compression bridging installs tightly to help support continuity and reduce movement in residential and light commercial floors.
• NAILLESS COMPRESSION BRIDGING: This precision‑formed steel bridging provides bracing between wood joists without nails, helping prevent squeaks and maintain floor system continuity by distributing load across adjacent joists in a rigid "V" design.
• REDUCES JOIST ROTATION: Helps keep floor joists in place and resist rotation under load, improving stability and distributing forces across joists to maintain proper alignment and long-term performance in residential and light commercial floor systems.
• BUILT‑IN PRONG INSTALLATION: Built-in prongs grip each joist before final seating, allowing faster installation from above or below sheathing while reducing nail squeaks and ensuring a secure connection for reliable floor support.
• SIMPSON STRONG-TIE RELIABILITY: At Simpson Strong-Tie, our mission is to provide solutions that help people design and build safer, stronger structures. As a pioneer in the building industry, we have an unmatched passion for problem solving through skillful engineering and thoughtful innovation.
