Simpson Strong-Tie NCA2X8-16 NCA 20-Gauge Galvanized Nailless Bridging for 2x8 and 2x14 (Pack of 6000)

Simpson Strong-Tie NCA2X8-16 NCA 20-Gauge Galvanized Nailless Bridging for 2x8 and 2x14 (Pack of 6000)

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.

This Simpson product is designed for construction, connector, fastening, anchoring, and structural applications where dependable performance, durability, and jobsite-ready installation matter.
