The TIMCO 1600mm Heavy Duty Bent Restraint Strap is an essential structural component for contractors and builders seeking to secure timber joists and roof structures to masonry walls. Its primary benefit is providing robust lateral restraint against wind loads and structural movement through its durable 2.5mm galvanised steel construction. While highly effective for structural integrity, users should note that it is intended specifically for internal or sheltered environments rather than direct, unprotected exterior exposure.

This strap is 2.5mm thick, providing heavy-duty structural support.
It is designed for internal and sheltered structural applications; it should not be used in fully exposed exterior environments without additional protective measures.
No, fixings for both the timber and masonry are sold separately to ensure you choose the correct fasteners for your specific substrate.
The 100mm bend is pre-formed for standard applications and should not be modified, as bending and re-bending steel can weaken its structural integrity.
The strap is manufactured from galvanised carbon steel.
The strap features multiple pre-drilled holes designed to allow for flexible positioning during installation.
Check the masonry surface for uneven mortar or protruding bricks; level the surface before installation.
Ensure you are using the correct diameter and type of wall anchor for the specific masonry material, such as brick or concrete blocks.
Installation requires ensuring the masonry wall is structurally sound and capable of accepting fixings. Position the strap so the 100mm bend sits flush against the timber, then mark the fixing positions on the masonry. Use appropriate masonry anchors such as sleeve anchors or frame fixings to attach the strap to the brickwork, ensuring all holes are utilized for maximum load distribution. For the timber side, use high-quality coach screws or structural timber screws. Periodic inspection of the connection points is recommended every few years to ensure no loosening has occurred due to building settlement. Keep the straps free of excessive moisture build-up to maintain the integrity of the galvanised coating.
