  • EXPAMETSPH JOIST HANGERS

    Design Features Single-piece, non- welded construction.

    Wider masonry flange to increase loadings on masonry of

    compressive strength 2.8N/mm2 and greater.

    Manufactured from 2mm thick pre-galvanised mild steel to

    BS EN 10327 : 2004, DX51D + Z600.

    75mm load bearing surfaces.

    All hangers 150mm deep and over are manufactured 10mm less to

    allow for notching and regularisation of timber joists.

    Gusset nail holes are non coaxial.

    Standard available widths 38, 44, 47, 50, 63, 75, 100, 125, 150mm.

    Installation RequirementsThe back face of hanger must be flush against the wall.

    The timber joist should be square cut and butting to the back face of

    the hanger (maximum permitted gap 6mm).

    A minimum height of 675mm of set masonry must be in position

    above the supporting flange before any load is applied.

    Fixing: Nail to the joist through the nail holes in each side gusset with

    BAT 3.75 x 30mm long square twisted sherardised nails.

    It is recommended that joists are notched for the base of the hanger

    to achieve a level surface for plasterboarding.

    Type R and ST provide additional location and alignment during

    construction.

    HD Restraint Straps must be used with all types of SPH joist hangers

    to provide lateral restraint.

    How to Order/Specify BAT SPH Joist HangersTYPE S

    The BAT S.P.H. Joist Hanger is a single piece timber to

    masonry hanger for building into the inner leaf of external

    cavity walls and internal walls.

    Straddle Type ST

    (ST Type is two Standard Joist Hangers joined together with Jointing Plate).

    Return Type R

    (R Type is a Standard type S with Return Plate added).

    75mm

    Standard Type S

    Both the R and ST Type enables the hangers to be positioned accuratelywhilst the masonry is built above.

    The Maxi Speedy is a heavy duty hanger for the support of

    Timber to Timber or Timber to Masonry, Concrete, etc with

    provision for Nailing or Bolting.

    Design Features Manufactured from 1.5mm thick pre-galvanised mild steel to

    BS EN 10327 : 2004, DX51D + Z275.

    Available in 7 types: MS240; MS335; MS380; MS440; MS500;

    MS560 & MS620.

    Nail hole diameter: 4.5mm Bolt hole diameter: 14mm

    Available widths: 38, 47, 50, 63, 75, 100mm (122 + 150 for MS500,

    560 + 620 only

    Installation RequirementsFixing: use BAT 3.75 x 30mm long square twisted sherardised nails.

    M12 Bolts or Coach screws as specified by fixing manufacturer.

    How to Order/Specify Maxi Speedy Joist Hangers

    Steps to specify requirements:

    1. Joist dimensions:

    Double joist depth and add joist width, ie for joist 225 deep x 38mm

    wide then:

    225 (d) + 225 (d) + 38 (w) = 488mm.

    2. The Maxi Speedy blank

    length must be less than

    total calculated in step 1,

    therefore select MS44038

    (not MS500 as the joist

    hanger would stand

    proud).

    BAT straps are manufactured in two types. The Heavy Duty to

    provide horizontal restraint and Standard to provide vertical

    restraint against wind pressure and uplift forces.

    Design Features The straps are manufactured from pre-galvanised steel strips

    with zinc coated edges to BS EN 10327 : 2004, DX51D + Z275

    or stainless steel to BS EN 10088-1 : 1995 : 1.4301.

    Nominal Dimensions

    Heavy Duty - 27.5 x 5.0mm

    Standard - 27.5 x 2.5mm

    Hole diameters are 6mm and they are holed at 12.5mm

    grouped in threes, diagonally across the width of the strap.

    Floor level straps notched into paralleljoists. Note: Gaps between masonryand adjacent joists must be packed.

    Floor level straps. 150 x 650mm longonce bent and once twisted fixed toperpendicular joists.

    Note: Turn down of the strap mustbe in contact with the masonry.

    Installation RequirementsThe installation of restraint straps must comply with the current

    Building Regulations, British Standards BS 5628 : Part 1 and Part 3

    and BS 8103 : Part 1, as well as NHBC recommendations.

    When straps are being fixed across joists or trussed rafters which are

    parallel with the wall, and where there is a gap between the wall and

    the first joist or truss, the gap must be packed. Noggins must be

    provided between each joist or truss.

    Fixing for Heavy Duty and Standard Straps: use either No 12 x 50mm

    wood screws or 4.00 dia x 75mm corrosion resistant nails.

    For stainless steel straps, stainless steel fixings must be used.

    OrderingWhen ordering quote the overall length and distance of bend/twist from

    END of strap. eg. overall length, bent at 100mm, bent at 250mm, twisted at

    400mm. E.g. HD1000B100, ST1000T400

    If in doubt, provide sketch.

  • The Bat Truss Clip eliminates the disadvantages of skew

    nailing trussed rafters to timber wall plates; damaged

    connector plates; split rafters or wall plates.

    STAINLESS STEELSCREW-IN STARTERAND CAVITY TIES

    Movement joints are necessary in masonry wall panels to cater for the naturalmovement of buildings. Tensile and compressive forces can develop that lead to cracking and bowing of walls.

    BS5628-3 details the provision of movement joints in clay, calcium silicate, concrete and stone masonry.

    Power-Tie Movement Ties allow expansion and contraction at movement jointswhilst providing shear resistance between adjacent panels and supports.

    Placing the sleeve on the plain end of the movement tie with 10mm clearance,debonds the tie from the mortar joint, permitting longitudinal movement.

    WALL STARTERSCAVITY WALLS Brick & Block

    The left hand Wall Starter is fixed with its ties extending upwards ready

    for bending down into the mortar courses. The right hand Wall Starter is

    inverted and fixed with the ties extending downwards.

    They must then be bent upwards ready for setting into the mortar course

    as the wall is built.

    UNISTARTERSCAVITY WALLS Brick & Block

    UniStarters are fixed with their ties extending upwards ready for bending

    down into the mortar courses. The right hand UniStarter is higher to allow

    the tie to bed into the first blockwork mortar course.

    Wall Starter & UniStarter Installation

    Suitable for both metric and imperial brick/block sizes.

    Integral ties are designed to tie into every (225mm deep) block

    course or every third course of (75mm deep) bricks.

    Each pack contains two 1175mm lengths. Slotted holes at each end

    allow easy connection of one length to the next.

    Full fixing instructions and all necessary coach screws, washers

    and plugs are provided. Only 5 fixings are needed for the two

    lengths (Type 120 and 185 Wall Starters are supplied with

    10 fixings). The only tools you need are: spirit level, drill (with

    10mm masonry bit) and 10mm spanner.

    Miscoursing of up to 50mm can be solved by simply bending

    integral ties to suit. This will reduce the length of built-in tie, but

    it still meets relevant test criteria.

    All products are designed to allow up to 10mm vertical movement.

    If the upper end of the product extends past the top line of your

    wall, use tin-snips or a hacksaw to cut off the excess and attach

    using the remaining top fixing hole.

    Align the centreline of the UniStarter with the centre of the new

    wall. Align the flanged edge of the Wall Starter to the front or back

    of the new wall.

    For cavity walls, each leaf will require a separate starter.

    All external walls require a 10mm wide weather seal to be fitted

    between the product and the existing wall or applied to the

    raked-out vertical joint.

    In exposed locations (or to meet Local Authority specifications),

    a vertical DPC should be cut into the existing wall prior to fixing

    the product.

  • EXPAMET MULTI-STARTERS

    29

    Multi-StartersFeaturing a turn-n-slide tie to accommodate all sizes of

    brick/block.

    The Multi-Starter is suitable for all wall widths from 60mm-250mm.

    Installation The turn-n-slide ties enable the starter to be tied into any course

    the builder wishes, ideally every (225mm deep) block course or

    every third course of (75mm deep) bricks.

    Each pack contains two 1165mm lengths. Slots at each end allow

    easy connection of one length to the next.
