The TB provides bracing between floor joists as a critical contribution to the structural strength of a floor. Installed in pairs, this tension-type bridging keeps joists in place and prevents them from rotating while distributing loads over more than one joist. The TB model line is designed with flexibility to fit multiple joist sizes for each model depending on joist height and O.C. joist spacing.
