SPH Joist Hangers
The BAT S.P.H. Joist Hanger is a single piece
timber to masonry hanger.
75mm
Design Features
Installation Requirements
- Single-piece, non- welded construction.
The back face of hanger must be flush
against the wall.
Standard Type ‘S’
- 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 10142 :
1991, 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.
04
- Gusset nail holes are non coaxial.
- Standard available widths 38, 44, 50, 63,
75, 100, 125, 150mm.
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.
Return Type ‘R’
(‘R’ Type is a Standard type ‘S’ with Return
Plate added), fixed by riveting.
Type ‘R’ and ‘ST’ provide additional location
and alignment during construction.
- Hangers to suit Ι joists and extra wide sizes
(150mm - 225mm) available to special
order. Price and delivery on application.

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.

in step 1, therefore select MS38038
(not MS500 as the joist hanger
would stand proud).

- The straps are manufactured from pre-galvanised steel strips
with zinc coated edges to BS EN 10142 : 1991, DX51D + Z275
or stainless steel to BS EN 10088-1 : 1995 : 1.4301.
Installation Requirements
- Nominal Dimensions
M305
- 27.5 x 5.0mm
Standard - 27.5 x 2.5mm
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.
- Hole diameters are 6mm and they are holed at 12.5mm
grouped in threes, diagonally across the width of the strap.
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 M305 and Standard Straps: use either
No 12 x 50mm wood screws or 4.00 dia x 75mm corrosion
resistant nails.

Timber Decking Clip
Bat Timber Decking Clips enable the installation of
deckboards to be quick and simple.
Design Features
- Easy to install deckboards - clip one side and skew-nail fix
the other side.
- Ensures an unmarked deck surface
• no visible nail holes
• no water pools
• no hot spots
• no rust stains
- Galvanised for corrosion protection.
- Suitable for use with complex patterns.
Installation Requirements
1. Fasten both edges of the first deckboard to each joist by skew-nailing with hot-dipped
galvanised nails.
2. Set the deckboard on edge and use the locator prongs to position the timber decking clip tight
against the bottom of the deckboard (within 50mm of each joist - but not on the joist itself ).
Fasten with 30 x 2.65mm dia hot-dipped galvanised nails. These must be fitted as tightly as
possible to the bottom of the deckboard.
3. Place the deckboard so that the timber decking clips slide tightly under the previously
anchored deckboard.
4. Ensure the new deckboard sits tight against the anchored deckboard.
5. Skew-nail the front edge of the deckboard into the top of each joist. The deckboard is now
tightly anchored on both edges.
6. Repeat the above steps for each board on the deck and anchor the final edge by skew-nailing.
The result is a smooth, unmarked deck surface with a longer life and easier maintenance.
Board Thickness (mm) Nail size (mm)
28 - 34
65 x 2.65
35 or greater
75 x 3.75
Alternatively, comparable corrosion
resistant screws with pilot holes can
be used.
Deckboards can be laid in a number of different ways. It is important that you decide on the
deckboard layout before assembling the support joists, as some patterns will affect the spacing
and number of joists, e.g. a double joist will be needed for a chevron style layout.
A Note on Butting Deckboards
Unless your deck size uses standard timber lengths, you will need to stagger boards to cover the
deck area. For safety and to prevent movement, staggered deckboards must meet over a joist.
Nail two short lengths on either side of the joist, for an adequate skew-nailing surface.

- Expamet Cobra Intumescent and standard foam joints offer 0, 2 or 4 hour
fire protection options.
- Repairs existing failed wall expansion or contraction joints fast.
- Expamet Cobra movement wall ties for In-line or 900 wall expansion joints.
- Expamet Cobra Ties suit most standard expansion joint materials and are
easy to install at 450mm centres.
- Expamet Cobra Ties will accommodate up to 10mm vertical movement.
- Column or 900 Ties are complete with screws, plugs and washers.
- Suits all wall widths 90-300mm wide.
- BBA Approved. Certificate No. 99/3574.
Instructions
For In-Line Wall Expansion Joints
For Single Walls
1. Build one side of expansion joint wall, building in Expamet Cobra Movement Ties at maximum 450mm centres (every other block
course) with the non-sleeved end of the tie fully embedded up to the location lugs/sleeve stop (see Fig. 1). Position the tie in the centre
of the wall to allow for the expansion foam strips either side (see Fig. 2).
2. When the first wall has set, build the second side of the expansion joint wall to the desired gap (10-16mm).
3. The 1.2m intumescent foam must always be placed to the inner side of the wall. Butt joint the second 1.2m length of intumescent
foam above the first and complete the full wall height up to 2.4m. Additional Expamet Cobra Movement Ties will be needed if the wall
exceeds 2.4m high.
4. When the wall has set, compress and feed the 2.4m outer foam into the gap from top to bottom cutting off any surplus foam.
Rebate approximately 6mm in from the external face of the wall.
24
5. For External Walls (additional protection) if joint is open to direct moisture use a silicone mastic seal from
top to bottom of the wall joint, the standard foam will act as the backing for the mastic joint.
Cavity Walls
Fix as above but stagger Expamet Cobra Movement Ties (225mm vertical offset between leaves) to allow
a cavity wall tie to be built at 225mm centres.
For Column or 90° Wall Expansion Joints
1. Drill and fix the 5 No. Expamet Cobra Movement Ties to the column or existing wall at 450mm maximum
centres leaving the coachscrew lightly tightened to allow the tie to slide into position easily. When the
course is level tighten up the coachscrew fully. Repeat to full wall height.
2. Build the new wall allowing 10-16mm gap between new and existing wall/column.
3, 4, 5 as above
Repair of Existing Failed Wall Expansion Joints
Rake out the old joint from the wall, compress and push in the standard or intumescent foam strips into the gap from top to bottom.
Rebating approximately 6mm from the external face of the wall.
If the joint is exposed to direct moisture use a silicone mastic seal from top to bottom of the rebated gap. The foam will act as the
backing for the mastic.

Exmet Reinforcement
In stainless steel for brickwork,
blockwork and partitions
(conforms to the requirements
of BS5628: Part 3: 1985).
Reinforced brickwork is preferable to unreinforced in all types of building
because steel reinforcement adds tensile strength to the inherent compressive
strength of this traditional construction method.
Reasons why you should select stainless steel Exmet for
reinforcing brickwork.
- Exmet is a length of expanded steel mesh with continuity of steel throughout.
- Exmet has no joints, welds or interweaving to fail under stress.
- Once mortared into brickwork the diamond-shaped meshes are anchored
immovably so that the reinforcement cannot slip under tension.

Stainless steel Exmet is manufactured from stainless steel to
BS EN 10088-1 : 1995 : 1.4301, (grade 304/S15).
Exmet is easily cut on site with tin snips.
Reinforcement at special points
Past experience has shown that Exmet is particularly desirable in footings, sleeper walls, cornices and parapets; also over
openings for windows, doors, etc.
Solid and hollow walls
Normally the brickwork alone is of sufficient strength but in circumstances where greater strength is required to allow for
uneven settlement and movement in buildings it is desirable to use Exmet reinforcement in the joints. Exmet not only assists
in distributing the loads evenly but reduces the possibility of cracking so common in these conditions.
27
Using stainless steel Exmet in brickwork and blockwork
Location of the reinforcement in brickwork and blockwork
When laid flat it should be set in the bed joints with its outer edge about 25mm from
the face of the masonry.
Where it is necessary to join the strips at ends, an overlap of not less than 75mm
should be provided.
In all cases the reinforcement must be completely embedded in the mortar.
Effective quantities of reinforcement
Exmet should be placed in every third brickwork bed joint or every blockwork bed joint.
Combinations of different widths of Exmet may be used to suit any wall thickness.

The universal wallstarter for any wall
There are four ‘flanged’ products in the Expamet Wall Starter range,
each designed for a specific wall widths, from 60mm to 260mm thick.
The flat flange-free design of Expamet UniStarters means
they can be used to construct any wall between 75mm
and 250mm thick – one product, multiple applications.

• 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.
• In exposed locations (or to meet Local Authority
specifications), a vertical DPC should be cut into the
existing wall prior to fixing the product.

positions of the fixing holes.
Drill and plug the existing wall,
taking care to avoid mortar joints.
Lightly screw the first length to
the existing wall over weatherseal if
required, then plumb, mark and drill
out the next starter. Make sure that
the slot at the end of one length always
lies on top of the slot of the adjacent
length. Tighten all screws when all
required lengths are in position.
Lay bricks or blocks, be sure to bed
them with mortar against the starter.
