Expamet BAT Splice Plates are expertly crafted using high-quality 1.2mm pregalvanized mild steel (BS EN 10142: 1991, DX 51D+Z275). This ensures excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and structural integrity, making them ideal for various applications in the construction industry.
These splice plates are designed to tackle common issues such as rot, decay, and fire damage in structural timbers. They offer a reliable and long-lasting solution that eliminates the need for complete joist replacement in many cases. By using Expamet BAT Splice Plates, you can save time, effort, and money.
Each set of Expamet BAT Splice Plates includes four plates, providing ample coverage and support for your specific project. Additionally, every set is accompanied by nails for easy and secure fixing, ensuring a strong connection between the splice plates and the timber.
Expamet BAT Splice Plates are available in three sizes to accommodate different requirements:
L61: With a width of 61mm and a length of 400mm, the L61 plates are suitable for various applications and provide effective reinforcement for smaller timber sections.
L80: Measuring 80mm in width and 560mm in length, the L80 splice plates offer enhanced strength and stability, making them ideal for larger timber sections.
L98: These splice plates have a width of 98mm and a length of 560mm, providing maximum coverage and support for the most demanding structural reinforcement tasks.
Versatile Application: Expamet BAT Splice Plates can be used to replace rotten or decayed floor joist, restore fire-damaged structural timbers, and repair localized damage or decay in structural timber work.
Premium Quality Material: Manufactured from 1.2mm pregalvanized mild steel (BS EN 10142: 1991, DX 51D+Z275), these splice plates offer exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and structural integrity.
Cost-effective Solution: By using Expamet BAT Splice Plates, you can save on the costs associated with complete joist replacements, providing a budget-friendly alternative.
Easy Installation: The supplied nails and pre-drilled nail holes ensure quick and secure fixing to the timber. The plates are conveniently supplied in sets of four for efficient installation.
Reliable Structural Reinforcement: Expamet BAT Splice Plates provide reliable and long-lasting reinforcement for damaged or weakened structural timbers, enhancing the overall stability and integrity of the structure.
Replacement of Rotten and Decayed Floor Joists: Expamet BAT Splice Plates can effectively address the common problem of rot and decay in floor joists, extending the lifespan of the entire structure.
Restoration of Fire Damaged Structural Timbers: In the aftermath of a fire, these splice plates allow for the repair and reinforcement of fire-damaged timbers, ensuring structural integrity and safety.
Repair of Localised Damage or Decay in Structural Timber Work: Expamet BAT Splice Plates offer an efficient solution for repairing and reinforcing localised areas of damage or decay in structural timber frames, preventing further deterioration and ensuring long-term stability.
Take the usual labour hygiene into account.
We recommend that CUT RESISTANT Gloves are worn during application. See our Safety & PPE Products.
Before proceeding with the installation of Expamet BAT Splice Plates, please ensure the following requirements are met:
Minimum Timber Thickness: The timber must have a minimum thickness of 50mm for effective installation.
Full Use of Nail Holes: When fixing the splice plates to the timbers, it's important to utilize all the nail holes for maximum strength and stability.
Maximum Gap Between Timbers: The gap between the timbers must not exceed 6mm to ensure proper alignment and load distribution.
Equal Cross Section of Timbers: The timbers being joined must have an equal cross-section with a variation no greater than +/- 2mm for optimal compatibility.
Four-Plate Usage: To establish a secure splice connection, all four plates from the set must be used.
Ensure the timber members requiring reinforcement are clean and free from debris, rot, or decay. If necessary, remove any damaged sections.
Cut the timbers to the desired length and remove any sharp edges or splinters from the cut ends.
Align the timbers and prepare them for the installation of the Expamet BAT Splice Plates. Ensure a snug fit between the timbers while adhering to the maximum allowable gap of 6mm.
Place the first set of Expamet BAT Splice Plates onto the designated area of the timber, ensuring that the pre-drilled nail holes align with the timber.
Insert the provided nails through the nail holes and into the timber. Use a suitable hammer to drive the nails in, ensuring a secure connection.
Repeat the process for the remaining three Expamet BAT Splice Plates. Ensure each plate is properly aligned and securely fixed to the timber using the provided nails.
Once all four plates are fixed in place, double-check the alignment and overall stability of the splice connection.
Proceed with the installation of additional sets of Expamet BAT Splice Plates as required, following the same steps outlined above for each splice connection.
