Simpson Strong Tie NCA2X10-16 Tension Bridging 2x10

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE NCA2X10-16 is a tension bridging component fabricated from G90 galvanized steel, designed to stabilize wood framing members in floor and roof assemblies. It works by distributing lateral loads across joists or rafters, resisting the twisting and warping forces that develop under live and dead loads. The G90 galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited to treated-lumber contact and damp installation environments. Carpenters, framing contractors, and structural trades install this bridging as part of standard floor and roof framing details in both residential and commercial construction.

This bridging is applied in 2x10 joist bays where code or engineering documents require tension bridging at mid-span or third-point intervals. It is well-suited for floor systems, flat roof framing, and other applications where lateral stability of dimensional lumber members is required. The package contains 100 pieces per unit of measure, making it appropriate for production framing work and larger commercial framing projects where consistent, repeatable installation is expected.

Key Features

• G90 galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in treated-lumber and damp environments
• Tension-style design maintains joist alignment and resists rotation under load
• Sized for 2x10 framing members for consistent fit across standard dimensional lumber
• Sold in 100-piece packages to support production framing workflows
• Supports both residential and commercial framing applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction component for use with standard 2x10 dimensional lumber in wood-framed floor and roof joist assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by framing carpenters or structural contractors following applicable building code requirements, including IBC and IRC framing provisions. Fasten bridging according to the manufacturer's installation instructions and the project's structural drawings or engineer-of-record specifications. Ensure joist spacing and lumber dimensions are confirmed before installation to achieve proper fit and engagement. Do not substitute bridging size for different joist dimensions without consulting the project engineer.
