Simpson Strong Tie LTB20 G90 Tension Bridging 200 Pack

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE LTB20 is a G90 galvanized tension bridging component designed to distribute loads and add lateral stability to framing systems. Installed between joists, studs, or truss members, tension bridging resists racking and helps maintain proper member spacing under load. The G90 zinc coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for standard interior framing applications. Each package contains 200 pieces, making it practical for larger framing crews working on multi-unit or production builds. Structural framers and general contractors are the primary installers of this product.

Tension bridging is used in residential and light commercial wood framing to brace floor joists, ceiling joists, and wall stud assemblies. It is particularly common in platform framing where long joist spans require mid-span lateral support to reduce bounce and prevent member rotation. The LTB20 is suited for repetitive production framing where high-volume quantities are needed on a single job.

Key Features

• G90 galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in standard framing environments
• Tension-based bridging design resists lateral racking and member rotation
• Package quantity of 200 pieces supports high-volume production framing workflows
• Compatible with standard joist and stud framing layouts in residential and light commercial construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard installation component for residential and light commercial wood framing systems requiring tension-style bridging between joists or stud members.

Installation Notes

Tension bridging is typically installed by structural framers in accordance with applicable building codes and engineered framing plans. Follow local building code requirements and any project-specific engineering specifications for bridging spacing and fastener schedules. Ensure framing members are plumb and properly spaced before installing bridging. Do not substitute bridging type or spacing without consulting the project engineer or inspector.
