Tension Strap BS ​40x2mm 25m Fast 833228

Description

The BS tension strap, measuring 40x2.0 mm and supplied on a 25-meter roll, is an essential structural component designed to ensure superior stability, rigidity, and load-bearing capacity in timber and steel structures. This hot-dip galvanized steel strap is specifically engineered to distribute horizontal and vertical loads in a controlled manner, reducing the risk of shear stress and structural movement during severe weather or high wind loads.

Applications for Roofs, Walls, and Floor Structures

This versatile tension strap is primarily used for anchoring and effectively reinforcing roof trusses and roof structures. Beyond roofing, it serves as an excellent solution for wind bracing—whether in exterior walls, internal structural framing, or floor assemblies—helping to stabilize the building's geometry. By incorporating these tension straps during the early stages of construction, you create a robust load path that safely transfers wind forces and other loads down into the foundation.

Material Quality and Corrosion Protection

The product is manufactured from hot-dip galvanized steel sheet (grade S250GD+Z275), which provides robust and durable corrosion protection. The galvanization ensures that the tension strap can withstand demanding environments and temperature fluctuations without losing its mechanical properties. The high yield strength of the steel ensures that the strap retains its tension and resists deformation over the long term.

Installation and Assembly Instructions

To achieve the intended structural performance, it is crucial that the tension strap is installed fully extended and properly tensioned. The strap features pre-drilled 5 mm diameter holes, facilitating quick and accurate fastening. For installation, the use of 4.0 mm anchor nails or 4.8 mm anchor screws is recommended to ensure an optimal connection and structural strength when attached to timber studs and framing members.
