Fewer Connections. Less Labor. Reliable Interlock, Every Time.
With CrossBite, CSC delivers a high-strength, pneumatic side lap connection tool engineered specifically for speed, safety, and structural integrity. By combining a proprietary punch mechanism with ergonomic mobility, CrossBite gives installation crews a faster, safer way to fasten deck side laps – allowing CSC to take care of your entire joist and deck package from start to finish.
Strength Meets Usability
STRUCTURAL CONSISTENCY
- Engineered for steel deck installation where shear and stiffness demands are highest. No variability, no weak points — consistent quality throughout the project.
STRENGTH
- Delivers higher strength than most standard attachment methods while remaining light and agile enough for everyday job site use. Built for diaphragm performance under seismic and lateral wind forces, where side lap integrity matters most.
LABOR & TIME SAVINGS
- Fewer connections than screws or welds means faster installation, lower labor costs, and less material waste on site.
DECK PRODUCTS
- Suitable for use with these interlocking deck types:
- BI
- BLI
- NI32
- NI32-XS
- LF2
- LF3
Technical details, code compliance reports (including ICC-ES), and additional information will be available soon. For more information, contact your Sales Representative.
Build with Confidence
TECHNICAL BENEFITS
- A. Proprietary Punch: Maximizes shear strength and stiffness at every diaphragm connection (Not Pictured)
- B. Dual-Direction Crimp: Four symmetrical penetrations lock deck panels in both directions for a tighter, more secure seam
ERGONOMICS & MOBILITY
- C. Transport Handle: Centered at the tool’s center of gravity to make carrying the tool easy
- D. Integrated Wheel: Rolls along the deck side lap so crews aren’t lifting and carrying between connections
- E. Carrying Case: Built for quick transport and easy rental returns (Not Pictured)
SAFETY-FIRST OPERATION
- F. Safety Trigger: Guards against accidental activation
- G. Hard Stop: Limits over-travel and ensures a consistent connection
LOW-MAINTENANCE
- H. Forever Bushings: Polymer bushings, virtually no upkeep (Not Pictured)
- I. Replaceable dies: Swap in seconds, no downtime
