Product Information

Full details

The TIMCO 600mm Engineered Restraint Strap is an essential structural component designed for builders and contractors needing to provide reliable lateral restraint between timber elements and masonry walls. Its primary benefit is providing robust structural integrity against wind pressure and building movement while remaining lightweight for easy handling. A key caveat to note is that this strap requires precise installation according to structural specifications to ensure it meets the necessary load-bearing requirements for your specific building project.

FAQs

What is the total length of the strap?

The strap has a total length of 600mm, with a 500mm straight section and a 100mm bend.

Is this strap suitable for external use?

Yes, it is made of galvanised carbon steel, which provides corrosion resistance for standard external building environments.

Can I trim the strap if it is too long?

It is not recommended to trim the strap as this may affect its structural integrity and compliance with BS 5268.

What is the thickness of the steel?

The strap is 1.4mm thick.

Does this meet UK building regulations?

Yes, it is designed to be compliant with BS 5268 Part 3.

Can I use this for vertical restraint?

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

Troubleshooting

Strap does not reach the required fixing point on the timber

Verify that the masonry wall position is within the tolerance specified by the project plans. Do not attempt to weld extensions onto the strap.

Difficulty driving fixings through the holes

Ensure the pilot holes drilled into the masonry are of the correct diameter and depth for the fasteners being used.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality galvanised finish prevents early rusting
  • Versatile design for both roof and floor restraint
  • Lightweight yet compliant with professional building standards
  • Easy to secure using standard construction fasteners

Cons

  • Requires specific placement to maintain structural rating
  • Length is fixed at 600mm, limiting use in wide gaps
  • Cannot be bent or modified without compromising structural integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal installation, ensure the masonry surface is level and the timber members are properly aligned. The 100mm bend should be set firmly into the mortar joint or masonry wall structure. To maintain the life of the strap, avoid using it in highly corrosive environments (such as near the coast) without additional protective measures. Periodic inspection is recommended during the building phase to ensure all fixings remain tight and the strap has not shifted due to thermal expansion or building settlement. Always consult your structural engineer’s drawings to determine the exact spacing requirements for your specific site.
