Frequently Asked Questions
- How many nail holes does the TB27 have, and how many are required for installation?
- The TB27 features seven nail holes at each end, but only two fasteners per end are required for a proper installation - specifically two 10d x 1-1/2 in. fasteners per end. This design provides maximum nailing flexibility.
- What gauge steel is the TB27 made from, and what corrosion protection does it have?
- The TB27 is made with 20-gauge steel and features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides extra corrosion resistance for long-lasting performance in floor framing applications.
- How does tension bridging work, and why must it be installed in pairs?
- Tension bridging works only in tension, meaning it resists forces by pulling rather than pushing. Because of this, TB bridging must be installed in cross pairs so that each piece can handle tension forces in the appropriate direction, keeping joists in place and preventing rotation under load.
- Is the Simpson TB27 suitable for use on professional construction projects requiring code compliance?
- Yes. Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are engineered and tested to perform and are manufactured to the highest quality standards. They are suitable for projects that must comply with building codes and are the proven choice of engineers and contractors.
