The New Website Also Offers Code Documents,
Product Literature, and Installation Guides
MiTek today announced that it has launched a new website to
feature its Hardy Frame® product brands. Found at
www.HardyFrame.com, the new site categorically presents numerous
product brands, including the Hardy Frame Shear Wall System, the
Hardy Frame Special Moment Frame, and the Z4 Tie-Down System.
Within the webpages for each product brand, website visitors can
obtain general product information, installation details, catalogs,
and even product-specific code reports. The new website design
minimizes drop-down menus, allowing visitors to easily navigate
from a top-bar menu instead. The new site has also been optimized
for mobile phones and tablets, as well as for PCs.
The Hardy Frame brands featured on the site include:
- The Hardy Frame Shear Wall
System is available in widths of 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24
inches, and in heights up to 20 feet. All panels have been
evaluated per the ICC Evaluation Service Acceptance Criteria AC322
to meet the 2006 2009 and 2012 IBC Codes as well as the 2009 and
2012 IRC Code. The evaluation includes installation on Foundations,
Raised Floor and Upper Floor Systems as well as various supporting
surfaces.
- Hardy Frame Brace Frames are
available in widths of 32 and 44 inches and in heights up to 13
feet. All Brace Frames have been evaluated per the ICC Evaluation
Service Acceptance Criteria AC322 to meet the 2006, 2009 and 2012

SidePlate connection, which is approved by the American Institute
of Steel Construction (AISC) for inclusion in AISC 358 Prequalified
Moment Connection Standard.
- The Z4 Tie-Down System is used
in multi-story buildings to transfer uplift tension forces that
result from earthquake and wind loading to the foundation. The CNX
Cinch Nut allows for easy, fast, and dependable one-step
installation. Z4 Tie-Down Runs are engineered for maximum material
and labor efficiency to provide the most economical system in the
industry.
“All the Hardy Frame and Z4 Tie-Down System brands are
experiencing strong growth, as well as an expansion of the
geographic areas where our products are specified and installed,”
said David Lopp, Vice President, Hardy Frame Technical &
Customer Services. “We have redesigned the new Hardy Frame website
to allow fast access to code-compliance information and a full
complement of product literature and installation guidelines.”
