Product Information

Full details

The TIMCO Heavy Duty Bent Restraint Strap is an essential structural component designed for builders and contractors needing to secure timber joists, roof structures, and masonry walls. It provides the key benefit of reliable lateral movement resistance and structural stability for timber-to-masonry connections, though its rigid pre-formed shape requires precise alignment during the planning phase of construction.

FAQs

Can I use this strap for external applications?

The strap is designed for internal and sheltered structural applications. If used in fully exposed outdoor environments, ensure the installation area is protected by appropriate building materials.

Is the bend angle adjustable?

No, the strap comes with a pre-formed bend. Attempting to modify the bend can weaken the structural integrity of the steel.

What is the thickness of the strap?

The strap is 2.5mm thick, making it suitable for heavy-duty structural restraint.

What fixings should I use?

Use appropriate heavy-duty masonry anchors for the brickwork end and structural coach screws or heavy-duty nails for the timber joist end.

Does the strap prevent roof uplift?

Yes, when installed correctly in accordance with structural calculations, these straps provide essential restraint against lateral movement and uplift caused by wind.

Troubleshooting

Strap does not lie flat against the joist

Check for debris under the strap or timber distortion; use packing shims if necessary to ensure the strap is flush.

Masonry fixings are stripping the brickwork

Ensure you are using the correct masonry anchor type for the specific substrate (e.g., solid brick vs. hollow block) and check that the hole diameter is accurate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High corrosion resistance due to galvanised coating
  • Pre-formed design significantly reduces installation time
  • Provides essential lateral restraint against wind loads
  • Heavy-duty 2.5mm thickness ensures structural integrity
  • Versatile for various timber-to-masonry applications

Cons

  • Rigid form may not suit non-standard structural angles
  • Requires precise measurement of masonry to ensure correct fit
  • Heavier than standard light-duty straps

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the masonry surface is clean and level before anchoring the bent end using appropriate heavy-duty masonry fixings. The timber end should be secured using high-quality coach screws or appropriate structural nails that fit the 36mm width profile. Do not modify or attempt to re-bend the strap on-site, as this may compromise the steel's structural properties. Inspect the straps periodically, especially in areas prone to dampness, to ensure the galvanised finish remains intact. If surface oxidation appears, clean the area and apply a suitable cold-galvanising paint to maintain its corrosion resistance.
