AB Tools Horizontal X Restraint Strap - 1000mm Length - 100mm Bend - Galvanised - 5Pk

The strap has a total length of 1000 mm, with a bend section measuring 900 mm by 100 mm. The fixing holes are 6mm in diameter and are positioned at 25mm offset centres.

The strap is pre-drilled for use with standard wood screws for timber connections and metal nails or screws suitable for masonry applications. Ensure your chosen fixings are appropriate for the load and materials.

This strap is specifically designed for *horizontal* connections between timber and masonry. For vertical applications, a different type of restraint or bracing would be more appropriate.

Yes, the galvanised steel finish provides good corrosion resistance and is suitable for most external building applications. However, avoid prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments.

No, the pack contains 5 x Horizontal X Restraint Straps only. Fixings such as wood screws and masonry fasteners are sold separately.

The 'X' reinforcement refers to a specific design pattern in the bend of the strap that enhances its strength and ability to withstand stress compared to a simple bend.

Check the measurements of the timber and masonry. The fixed 900mm x 100mm bend may require repositioning or alternative connection methods if the gap or angle is outside its range.

The 6mm holes are designed for common screws and nails. If a specific or oversized fixing is required, consider alternative methods or drilling larger holes carefully, ensuring the structural integrity is maintained.

Minor abrasions can occur. For significant damage, consider applying a cold galvanising compound to the affected area to prevent rust.
