• Installs with built-in prongs that eliminate nail squeaks
• Precision-formed into a rigid “V” section
• May be installed before or after sheathing, from the top or bottom
• Nominal joist size: 2×10, 2×16 with 16-in. spacing
• Bridging length: 15-13/16 in.
• Made from 20-gauge steel
• Galvanized (G90) for corrosion resistance

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.
