The Timco Heavy Duty Bent Restraint Strap is an essential structural component designed for builders, roofers, and contractors who need to secure timber joists or roof trusses to masonry walls. Its primary benefit is providing reliable lateral restraint, ensuring buildings remain structurally sound under various load conditions. While the 1200mm length offers extensive reach for complex connections, users should ensure they have adequate space for the specified fixing pattern, as its robust design requires precise placement for maximum effectiveness.

Yes, the A2 stainless steel construction is highly resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for exterior or exposed structural applications.
The strap is pre-formed for specific structural applications. Avoid repetitive bending, as this can fatigue the metal and compromise the structural integrity.
Use fixings that match the diameter of the pre-drilled holes, typically high-quality stainless steel coach screws or appropriate masonry bolts.
The strap is engineered to meet building standards for horizontal restraint, but you should always consult your local building inspector regarding the specific requirements for your build.
You should follow the fixing pattern specified in your structural design drawings to ensure the load is distributed correctly across the masonry and timber.
1200mm is the nominal length of the strap. Remember to account for the pre-formed bend when measuring your total required coverage.
Check for mortar protrusions or uneven brickwork. Use a masonry chisel to level the surface before securing.
Ensure you are using the correct diameter masonry anchor recommended for the brick or block type and that holes are drilled to the precise depth.
Verify that no carbon steel tools or fasteners have been in contact with the strap, as these can cause surface staining (tea staining) on stainless steel.
Installation requires matching the strap to the specific framing layout. Ensure the surface of the masonry is clear of debris before fixing. It is recommended to use high-quality stainless steel fixings (such as coach screws or masonry anchors) that match the corrosion rating of the strap itself, as using inferior fasteners will cause a bimetallic reaction. To maintain the life of the product, avoid damaging the protective surface during installation. If the strap must be cut to length, use a cold-cutting method to ensure the stainless steel edge remains protected from surface oxidation.
