Simpson Strong-Tie® Connectors for Timber and Masonry Construction
Design Methods
Performance values for both design methods (Permissible and Limit State) are listed and have been determined as
follows:
The calculations in Annex G, of BS5268-2, have been used to determine the performance tables in section 6 of the
same standard. They can also be used to determine the other lateral loads of varying connections, which are listed in
the following pages.
Joints should be designed so that the permissible loads applied to the fasteners or timbers do not exceed the design
loads of the structure.
The guidelines laid out in Section 8 of EN1995-1-1, are to be used to determine the withdrawal and lateral performance
of a connection when using the Limit State Design method.
Connections should be designed so that the design reactions applied to the structure do not exceed the design
capacity of the connection.
Spacings and Edge / End Distances should be complied with as laid out within the relevant standard to ensure
full capacity of the connection is achieved. Any reduction in the recommendations will result in a reduction of the
connection performance and should be verified by the engineer responsible for the design of the building.

The SFJC is designed to be used where timber joists are built into a
masonry external wall and eliminates the air leakage problems associated
with shrinkage of timber joists. It also provides resistance to fire for up to 60
minutes when gaps are filled with mineral wool.
The SFJC does not provide any lateral stability to the joists during
construction phase. It is therefore necessary to install temporary bracing SFJC
in accordance with the joist manufacturers instructions and/or standard PATENT GB2392928, GB2393459
construction practice, to ensure temporary stability of the floor joists.
• Place floor joist onto wall and adjust to ensure correct bearing at each
end.

Step 1: Build the masonry to the required level and leave to cure.
Step 4: Install the joist into the hanger. The joist should be tight
into the back of the hanger where possible. A maximum gap of
6mm is permitted.
Step 5: Fix the joist to the hanger using all specified fasteners.
Step 6: If installing I-joist, web stiffeners are required. Web 90˚ Skew Example
stiffeners should be installed in accordance with I-Joist
manufacturers recommendations.
Step 7: Where the 90˚ skewed variant is used to frame around soil
vent pipes, a solid blocking piece is to be fitted between the joist
and hanger back flange so the joist is positioned 50mm from the
face of the masonry wall.
The blocking piece must be fitted to the joist prior to installing into
the hanger. The blocking piece must be the same depth as the
joist, width to suit the remaining gap and be at least 100mm long.

Simpson Strong-Tie® Connectors for Timber and Masonry Construction
The SFJC is designed to be used where timber joists are built into a
masonry external wall and eliminates the air leakage problems associated
with shrinkage of timber joists. It also provides resistance to fire for up to 60
minutes when gaps are filled with mineral wool.
The SFJC does not provide any lateral stability to the joists during
construction phase. It is therefore necessary to install temporary bracing
in accordance with the joist manufacturers instructions and/or standard
construction practice, to ensure temporary stability of the floor joists. SFJC

• Place the I-joist onto wall and adjust to ensure correct bearing at each
end. Installation Sequence
• Lift the floor joist and install SFJC over the end of the joist, ensuring
the SFJC face flanges are tight against the inner face on the masonry
wall.
• Nail in place with 2 No 3.75 x 30mm square twist nails per plate.
• Install horizontal restraint straps at maximum 2m centres and nail to
the timber joists with 8 No 3.75 x 30 square twist nails.
• Build up masonry between SFJC and continue with wall construction.
• Ensure all joints between the masonry and SFJC are fully filled with
mortar.
• With the SFJC305/50 check the tightness of the wedges once wall is
completed. If necessary, hammer wedges in tight.
• Also if necessary, fill the void around the joist with mineral wool or
expanding foam.

The SES is a cost effective way to help comply with the requirements of Part L (reduced air
leakage) and Part E (reduced sound transference).
The SES allows for a full 100mm bearing of joist onto masonry walls.
• Air leakage - reduces air leakage without the need for mastic sealant.
• Sound - meets the sound requirements of a proprietary joist cap as specified by
Appendix A, Robust Details Part E Handbook.
• Fire - provides 1 hour of fire resistance (in compliance with Approved Document B).
• Can be used on external and party walls.
• Meets the NHBC Technical requirements.
• Secure fixing - provided by 30mm Square Twist Nails.

General Installation Notes
• The floor decking may be stored on the joists provided the load is
uniformly distributed between the several joists and does not exceed
the hanger or joist capacities. Refer to joist manufacturer or supplier
for joist capacity and maximum construction loads.
• The floor decking must be securely attached to each joist before
additional loads can be placed on the system.
• Floor decking and block work is to be cut where necessary to fit
Mini Strap (included with Safety Fast Hanger)
around the upstand stiffeners.
• Pallets of blocks or other construction materials should be placed onto
the scaffolding and NOT directly onto the floor. The materials can then
be evenly distributed around the floor manually, ensuring hanger or
joist capacities are not exceeded.

With the Construction Industry becoming
ever more conscious of environmental issues,
companies are taking a fresh look at building
structures and carbon emissions. As a
more sustainable material than steel, Glulam
contributes to this goal.

Material: Pre-Galvanised Mild Steel. Dowels: Mild Steel Electroplated Zinc coating.
Installation:
• Dowels aligned across the grain may cause splitting if the wood shrinks excessively.
Use only in glulam, composite timber or well dried timber. Verify that the header can
take the required fasteners specified in the table.
• Attach to the supporting beam with 5.0 x 40mm screws (supplied).
• Specify dowel length and TU size to fit the application.
• Preparation of carried beam is best done off-site with cutting and boring tools.
• Holes in beam should be same diameter as dowel to ensure tight fit.
• Centre the TU within height of carried beam.
• Centre dowels within the width of the carried member
• For a sloped installation the TU hanger remains as standard and the timber is cut and
angled to suit the slope.
• Recommended for internal dry environments (service class 1 & 2) only.

Simpson Strong-Tie® Connectors for Timber and Masonry Construction
Skew Angle
• Position the connector at the pre determined height and screw the connector to the header or post.
• Fill all holes with screws supplied.
• Cut the slot 3mm deeper than the TU and short of the beam height for concealed connector. This allows the connector to be hidden
from below. Otherwise cut the slot 3mm deeper than the TU and through the entire beam height.
• Fully Concealed Only: Rout a pocket into the beam end. The pocket should be 6mm deep. Enough to hide the thickness of the TU and
the screw heads. This eliminates the gap between the beam & header (see Pocket Installation Illustration).
• Position drill guide to provide the proper dowel end distance & height. Clamp in place (Drill guide available from Simpson Strong-Tie).
• Drill the dowel holes to the required diameter. Dowel hole diameter for the TU12 is 8mm and 12mm for all others.
INSTALL BEAMS
• Install top dowel into the carried beam first. Slip beam into place and install the remaining dowels working from the top downwards.
• Fully Concealed Only: To hide exposed dowel holes when the installation is complete, glue and plug the holes.

IHS INSTALLATION:
• Each IHS consists of 2 sets of 2 interlocking plates with one set required for each side of the I-joist.
• The outer edge of the holes cut into the web of the I-joist can be a minimum of 50mm from the inner face of the
blockwork.
• Holes can be cut into the web of the I-joist before or after installation of the IHS.
• Holes must fit within the internal aperture of the IHS.
• Place the IHS onto the I-joist so that the top and bottom sliding flanges are aligned vertically central onto the top
and bottom chords of the I-joist.
• Open or close the IHS to the required width, ensuring that the two sections overlap by at least one row of nails
(minimum overlap of 45mm).
• Install 3.75x30mm square twist nails through all round holes into the top and bottom chords of the I-joist.
• Repeat the above steps to install plates on the other side of the I-joist, completing the installation.

Installation:
• Use all specified fasteners. See "General Notes" (page 12). Verify that
the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table.
• Web stiffeners are required for use with the BI hanger style and
sloped or skewed LBV hangers.
• The LBV and B/BI hangers may be used for weld on applications.
The minimum required weld for the top flanges is a 3.0 x 50mm
fillet weld on each side of the top flange tabs. Weld-on applications
produce maximum allowable loads listed. Uplift loads do not apply
for this application. Special considerations should be taken when
welding galvanised steel.
Options:
• Other widths and heights are available as a special order, contact Typical LBV Installation
Simpson Strong-Tie for details.
• LBV and B/BI series hangers can be skewed and sloped to a
maximum of 45°. See table for load adjustment factors.
• To order specials, use model number SPEC LBV or SPEC B and add
required dimensions and directions: D=seat sloped down, U=seat
sloped up, R=skewed right, L=skewed left. Example: SPEC LBV H =
220, W = 91. D30 R45 is an LBV220/91 with a sloped down seat 30°
and skewed right 45°.

It’s manufactured using minimum material section for optimum sound performance. This allows the tie to meet the
requirements of Part E of the Building Regulations (Resistance to the Passage of Sound), whilst incorporating a unique
stiffening rib for maximum structural capacity. The Party Wall Tie has cavity widths of 50, 62 and 75mm stamped on the
upper surface to help check for a consistent cavity width up through the building.
As it has been designed specifically for purpose, the nail holes (just four 3.75 x 30mm at each end) are positioned to
ensure the minimum edge distances are always achieved.
• Meets the requirements of Part E of The Building Regulations (Resistance to the Passage of Sound).
• Suits timber frame party wall cavities from 50 to 75mm.
• Can be used on Closed Panel Construction – where 50mm stiffening rib helps to check that minimum 50mm cavity
width has been achieved.
• Minimum material section for optimum sound performance.
Installation:
• Quick and easy installation using only 8 No. 3.75 x 30mm square twist nails – 4 per side.
• Nails holes positioned to ensure Minimum Nail Edge Distances are always achieved.
• In order to minimise the risk of sound transfer, it is recommended that the PWT200 is installed at 1200mm centres,
unless otherwise specified by the building designer or engineer.
• The PWT200 is to be installed at, or near ceiling level.

The characteristic values (Fk) have been determined in accordance with Eurocode 5 and ETAG 015, which are defined
by the relevant European Technical Approval. The design values are obtained from the following formula:
Fdesign = Fk x kmod

Where: Kmod - modification factor, dependent on the service class, the duration of load and the type of material used.
ᵧ m
- partial safety factor.

The above is only valid if the application is in accordance with the diagrams shown above.
All units are in kilo Newtons (kN).
F1 - Tensile Force
When application is with 2 brackets the tensile force occurs in the central axis of the joint.
If the structure prevents rotation or failure of the supported member, the tensile resistance is equal to half of the
value for 2 brackets - otherwise:
The tensile resistance of the assembly depends on the distance << f >> between the vertical contact surface
and the point of load application.
When application is with 1 bracket only: the value of resistance is equal half of that given for two brackets.

Type of Application
The characteristic values published are dependent on the type of application and material to which they are fixed.
There are three main categories as shown below.
For each of these types of application, full nailing conditions apply, ie. every nail hole is filled.
The values correspond to the the use of timber class C24 for structural applications.

Restraint Straps
HES/LES
Heavy/Light Engineered Restraint Straps
A direct replacement for traditional 2.5mm and 5mm thick restraint straps,
the innovative design of these lightweight straps allows ease of handling and HES
(inc. Mortar Key)
installation whilst maintaining the structural strength and robustness of much
heavier weight types.
L1
The HES (heavy engineered strap) & LES (light engineered strap) replace
traditional heavy and light restraint straps in roof and floor construction.
Reducing the thickness to 1.5mm allows the HES strap to span over the top of
floor joists and the bottom chords of trusses without the need for notching.
HES straps are less than 40% of the weight, quicker to fit, and overcome many
129-150
fixing problems associated with traditional heavy straps.
L2
The LES is designed for vertical applications e.g. holding down wall plates.
• CE Marked.
• 1.5mm thick. 38
• Formed edge design gives additional strength on bend.
• Complies with BS EN 845-1.
33
• Quicker to install - can fit over top of floor joists and truss bottom chords.
• Easier to course with blockwork. L2
• No need to notch joists.
Restraint straps "perpendicular" to the floor joists are required to be held tight LES
against the masonry and fixed across the first 3 joists.
Restraint straps "parallel" to the floor joists are required to be held tight to the L1
masonry and be at least 1200mm long.
1. Wood screws to be plugged and screwed into masonry. The lowest fixing to be within 150mm of the bottom of the strap.

Restraint Straps
FMS Folded Mini Strap
The FMS strap provides restraint to masonry walls when the walls are supporting joist ends. They make installation
easier, quicker and more cost effective - without compromising on wall stability.
In place of the heavy traditional 30x5mm strap at 2.0m c/c spacing, the FMS
FMS strap is installed to provide restraint at every joist end, whether built
in or on hangers. So there’s no need to calculate where the straps go, or
worry about getting one in the wrong place.
Bend Reinforced Only 3 No 3.75 x 30mm
with Embossment square twist nails required
Every job gets done quicker and more smoothly. The FMS strap goes on to fix to joist
every joist end up to 600mm c/c spacing, and blockwork up to 125mm
thick.

Sound Resistance: As stated within the Approved Document E 2003 - Resistance to the Passage of Sound - wall ties used
in external and separating cavity walls have to have a minimum value of dynamic stiffness to reduce the transmission of airborne
noise. Ties are separated into Type A and Type B.
• Type A: Can be used in separating walls and external walls subject to them also having the required structural capacity. They
can be butterfly ties or other ties with a dynamic stiffness of less than 4.8 MN/m3.
• Type B: Can only be used in external cavity walls subject to them also having the required structural capacity. They can be
butterfly ties or other ties with a dynamic stiffness of less than 113 MN/m3.

A range of Beads, Mesh and Archformers to satisfy the requirements of modern ERS External Render Stop Bead
building design, along with the needs of traditional repair and maintenance work.
Corrosion Protection
• In normal circumstances matured plasterwork may be regarded as dry
and therefore non-corrosive. Where galvanised beads are used the initial
plaster drying out period should be kept to a minimum to reduce the risk of
possible corrosion of the steel.
• Stainless steel beads are specifically designed for cement based renders
and should not be used with gypsum based plasters.
• To prevent bimetallic corrosion ensure all metal fixings used in the
installation are of the same material or are separated with a suitable plastic
sheathing. SAB Angle Bead
• In general, metal beads should be kept dry and stored flat. Care should also
be taken to prevent accidental damage to the galvanised coating.
• The use of water contaminated with soluble salts in plastering mixes should
be avoided as should soluble chlorides as they are likely to increase the risk
of metal corrosion.
1. Pressing the bead’s wings firmly into plaster dabs placed at approxi-
mately 600mm centres both sides of the arris.
2. The wings may be embedded into the first coat of plaster for normal
two coat work.
3. Nailing to a background with galvanised, or stainless steel nails.
