Simpson Strong-Tie BAN Wind Bracing Strap Galvanized Steel

The Simpson Strong-Tie BAN wind bracing strap is designed for the anchoring and bracing of timber roof and wall structures. It is used as a tensile bracing element to increase structural stability and resistance against wind loads in timber construction systems.

Manufactured from S250GD steel with a Z275 galvanized coating according to DIN EN 10346, the strap provides reliable corrosion protection and durability for construction applications. Stainless steel versions are also available for environments requiring enhanced corrosion resistance.

BAN wind bracing straps are commonly used in roof bracing systems, wall bracing applications and timber structures where tensile reinforcement is required. For proper performance, the strap must be tensioned in the completed structure.

Key Features:

• Wind bracing and anchoring strap
• Manufactured from S250GD steel
• Z275 galvanized coating
• Corrosion protection on both sides
• Suitable for timber structures
• Designed for tensile load applications
• Can be installed in parallel for increased load capacity
• Compatible with BNSP tensioning devices

Application & Usage

The BAN wind bracing strap is used to stabilize and reinforce timber structures subjected to wind and lateral loads.

Typical applications include:

• Roof bracing systems
• Timber frame construction
• Wall bracing
• Roof trusses
• Timber roof structures
• Structural reinforcement
• Residential and commercial timber buildings

For optimal performance, the strap should be installed under proper tension.

Installation

For timber construction, the strap can be fixed using:

• CNA 4.0 mm ring-shank nails
• CSA 5.0 mm connector screws

For maximum connection strength, the use of suitable connection fittings is recommended.
