## Description

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.

• Nailless design eliminates squeaks and callbacks
• Stabilize joists and prevent rotation
• V-shaped prongs grip securely for easy install
