Simpson StrongTie FMS Folded Mini Strap (per 125)

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 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. 

Every job gets done quicker and more smoothly. The FMS 

strap goes on every joist end up to 600mm c/c spacing, and 

blockwork up to 125mm thick.
