Installation Requirements
Standard Type S
The 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.
Return Type R (R Type is a Standard type S with Return Plate added).
Straddle Type ST (ST Type is two Standard Joist Hangers joined together with Jointing Plate).

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).

Installation Requirements
G Nominal Dimensions
The 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.

Floor level straps notched into parallel joists. Note: Gaps between masonry and adjacent joists must be packed.
Floor level straps. 150 x 650mm long once bent and once twisted fixed to perpendicular joists. Note: Turn down of the strap must be in contact with the masonry.
Illustration shows the standard clockwise rotation to strap. Anticlockwise is also possible.
Ordering
When 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.

Movement joints are necessary in masonry wall panels to cater for the natural movement 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 joints whilst 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.
