Simpson Strong-Tie LTB40 - Light Tension Bridging, 39" Long, 22 Ga. Galvanized
The Simpson Strong-Tie LTB provides bracing between floor joists as a critical contribution to the structural strength of a floor. Installed in pairs, this light tension-type bridging keeps joists in place and prevents them from rotating while distributing loads over more than one joist. The LTB features a staggered nail pattern to accommodate 2x8 and 2x10 joists and is designed for maximum nailing flexibility, with the option to use as few as two nail holes on each end, and as many as six.
