Banding as fire clip?

Jimi

Do you think steel banding like this is adequate as a fire clip? Screwed and plugged to masonry or screwed to timber. 

 Cheers ;)

    Screws into masonry or substantial timber should be OK provided that fibre wall-plugs are used and not plastic.

     Could you argue that by the time a masonry wall has got hot enough to melt plastic wall plugs then the fire brigade would be outside hosing in?
