Product Description
Simpson engineered restraint straps are a direct replacement for traditional 2.5mm / 5mm thick straps. They have a formed edge which gives the strap additional strength on the bend. The innovative design of these straps allows easier installation & handling whilst still maintaining the structural strength of much heavier strap types. LES straps are less than 40% of the weight of traditional heavy straps and replaces traditional light duty straps in roof construction. Simpson engineered straps comply with BS EN 845-1.
Installation (for lateral restraint)
Fix LES strap to wall plate with 3 No. 3.75 x 30mm square twist nails and to masonry with 5 No. #12 x 50mm wood screws, plugged and screwed into masonry
The lowest fixing should be located within 150mm of the bottom of the vertical strap
