Simpson Strong-Tie NCA2X12-16 - 20-Gauge Galvanized Nail-less Bridging for 2x12
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.
