No welding required—self-drilling fasteners install with hand tools

Install steel joist bridging quickly, easily, and more cost-effectively using the NewBay™ bridging system. NewBay™ can be used for steel joist spans of up to 60 feet with Steel Joist Institute-approved steel joists. The NewBay™ advantage comes from the accompanying self-drilling screws that allow it to be installed in seconds using standard hand tools.

How much faster and cost-effective is NewBay™ bridging vs. clamp-and-weld bridging? By eliminating the expenses of skilled welders, bridging can be installed in half the man-hours and at a significantly lower hourly rate.

A steel joist bridging solution whose time has come

The NewBay™ bridging system adapts to designs accommodating all loading conditions – including rooftop loading – and construction needs. As a means for reducing erection costs for metal buildings, the NewBay™ bridging system eliminates the need for welded-termination bridging.
