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.

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.

STANDARD STRAP HEAVY DUTY STRAP

Dimensions

Anchorage of gable end to roofstructure.

Fixing to wall plate and wall with onebend.

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.

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.

BAT Safe Edge Frame Cramps provide positive location of

window and door frames to inner leaf of masonry.

Manufactured from pre-galvanised steel strip with zinc

coated edges to BS EN 10327:2004 : DX51D + Z275.

Fixing: use 2 No 4.5mm nails or No. 8 screws, galvanised or

sherardised.

A cost effective way of securing buildings or internal spaces by

sandwiching a layer of steel mesh into the walls and ceilings

during construction.

Available in a range of gauges this high quality security mesh

is suitable for internal walls, ceilings, partitions and external

brickwork. It can also be provided in galvanised steel, where

damp conditions are expected.

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.

easy connection of one length to the next.
