Product Details
The TB is a cost-effective solution for bracing between floor joists compared with field-fabricated blocking and clip angles. Installed in pairs, this tension-type bridging keeps joists in place and prevents them from rotating or locally buckling.
Key Features
- Galvanized for corrosion resistance
- Keeps floor system continuity and prevents joist rotation
- Installation flexibility, with multiple fastener holes on each end
Material
- 20 gauge
Finish
- Galvanized
Installation
- Can be utilized with 6", 8", 10", 12" and 14" joists at 12" or 16" o.c. spacing and 10", 12" and 14" joists for 24" o.c. spacing
- Tension bridging works only in tension, so must be used in cross pairs
- Install bridging tightly; loose installation may allow floor movement
- Requires two #10 screws at each end
