TradeReady Blocking features a large extruded hole to accommodate HVAC, mechanical, plumbing and sprinkler runs.
TradeReady Blocking is pre-cut and formed to fit securely between the floor joists to prevent joist rotation. Pre-punched holes in the connection legs are added for quick attachment to each floor joist. Structural blocking is an economical alternative to Tension Bracing (CDTB) or Flat Strapping.
- Pre-cut to fit 12", 16", or 24" joist spacing
- Pre-punched holes for quick attachment to floor joists
- Available in 7-1/4”, 8”, 9-1/4”, 10”, 11-1/4”, 12" and 14” deep members
- Extruded hole sizes range based on member depth:
- 4-1/2” x 7” hole for 7-1/4” and 8” blocking systems
- 6-1/2” x 9” hole for 9-1/4”, 10”, 11-1/4”,12" and 14” blocking systems
Floor Joist Blocking is typically used in conjunction with a continuous row of TradeReady Structural Bridging (TDSB) that ties the floor system to the structure allowing bracing against lateral movement.
