The Timco 1000mm Light Duty Twisted Restraint Strap is an essential structural component for builders and contractors needing to provide robust restraint between timber floor joists and masonry walls. Its core benefit is the integrated twist, which allows for seamless transitions between different mounting planes, ensuring structural integrity where traditional flat straps fail to align. While it provides excellent stability for internal and sheltered applications, it is not recommended for use in highly corrosive or exposed external environments without additional protective coatings.

These straps are intended for internal or sheltered environments. They are not recommended for direct exposure to the elements.
Use high-quality, load-rated masonry screws for the wall and appropriate wood screws or coach bolts for the timber joist.
This specific model is 1000mm in length.
The strap is pre-twisted for specific structural applications. Attempting to bend or straighten it further can weaken the steel integrity.
The strap is designed for 'restraint' purposes to keep components in place, rather than as a primary load-bearing support for floor joists.
Ensure the twist is positioned correctly in the gap between the joist and masonry. If the gap is too narrow, check that no mortar snots or debris are obstructing the strap path.
Small amounts of surface rust on cut edges are common; however, if widespread, inspect the environment for high humidity and apply a galvanised-compatible rust inhibitor.
Installation requires selecting the correct gauge of masonry screws or rawl bolts to match the existing brick or blockwork. Ensure the strap is taut during installation to avoid any play in the connection. For care, keep the straps dry and free of debris during installation to maintain the galvanised coating. If the coating is scratched or drilled during the fixing process, it is recommended to apply a cold-galvanising spray or touch-up paint to prevent future oxidation.
