Product Information

Full details

The TIMCO Heavy Duty Engineered Restraint Strap is designed for structural engineers, contractors, and DIYers looking to secure timber frames to masonry walls. Its key benefit is providing reliable lateral restraint against wind loads and structural movement while maintaining compliance with building regulations. One caveat to note is that it is rated for Corrosion Rating 2, meaning it is suited for occasionally damp environments but should be avoided in highly saline or continuously wet conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this strap meet building regulations?

Yes, it is compliant with BS EN 845-1 standards.

Can I use this for outdoor decking?

This strap is rated for Corrosion Rating 2 (occasionally damp), so it is not recommended for constant outdoor exposure or coastal areas.

What is the total length of the strap?

The total length is 800mm, which includes a 100mm bend and a 700mm strap section.

How thick is the steel?

The strap has a thickness of 1.4mm.

Is this product suitable for vertical restraint?

Yes, the design is engineered for both horizontal and vertical structural restraint applications.

Are the fixing screws included?

No, fixings are not provided as the choice of screw or anchor depends on the specific building material (timber or masonry) being used.

Troubleshooting

Strap does not align with existing joist spacing

The straps are designed for flexibility; if alignment is slightly off, ensure you are using the pre-drilled holes to stagger your fixings into the timber without compromising the wood structure.

Difficulty anchoring into masonry

Ensure you are using a masonry-specific drill bit and compatible wall anchors or resin fixings suitable for the wall density and the strap hole size.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets BS EN 845-1 regulatory standards
  • Easy to maneuver due to the lightweight design
  • Durable galvanised finish prevents premature rust
  • Versatile for both floor and roof structural applications

Cons

  • Not suitable for constant exposure to high moisture or saltwater environments
  • Requires specific masonry anchors which are not included
  • Limited to internal or sheltered external structural use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the masonry is cured and the timber is properly positioned. Use appropriate heavy-duty masonry fixings for the brickwork side and structural-grade screws or nails for the timber side. For care, avoid using abrasive cleaners that might strip the galvanised coating. If the strap is installed in an area prone to condensation, ensure the surrounding masonry is adequately ventilated to maintain the Corrosion Rating 2 performance lifespan. Always ensure that the strap is not bent or manipulated beyond its manufactured profile to avoid stress fractures.
