Product Profile
Our mission is to provide the building industry with a simple, efficient,
quality tie-down system with unparalleled customer service.
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 onestep installation. Z4 Tie-Down Runs are engineered for maximum material
and labor efficiency to provide the most economical system in the industry.
The CNX Cinch Nut is a shrinkage take-up device that is evaluated under
the IBC and the City of Los Angeles building codes and is accepted by
building departments nation-wide. The CNX ability to perpetually “travel”
down the length of the threaded rod allows it to compensate for natural
shrinkage and settlement that occurs in wood buildings, therefore keeping
connections of Tie-Down Runs tight to the floor framing members for the
life of the building.
The Z4 Tie-Down System with the CNX Cinch Nut is designed to limit
story drifts of multi-story buildings and eliminate additional structural
damage caused by loose connections in the floor framing. The system was
designed following the Northridge Earthquake when the effects of wood
shrinkage, building settlement, and other building deformation were shown to be factors contributing to damage.
The Z4 design was the first in the industry to provide a continuous load path for uplift that perpetually adjusts its connections to the floor system as
the building deforms. The Z4 Tie-Down System is engineered, tested, and code evaluated to perform. It continues to be an innovative leader in the
multi-story building industry.
The CNX Cinch Nut and its application in the Z4 Tie-Down System is a MiTek Builder Product. Other MiTek Builder Products include the Hardy
Frame® Shear Wall System and USP Structural Connectors®. For more information please visit: mitekbuilderproducts.com.

Tie-Down System
Cinch Nut (CNX)
The Z4 CNX-Series Cinch Nut is a shrinkage compensating take-up device that keeps connections of Tie-Down Runs tight to the floor framing
members when shrinkage and compression of wood fibers occur. The Cinch Nut uses an internal self-ratcheting action that permits movement, or
“travel” perpetually in one direction along the length of a threaded rod. When connected to the floor framing, the Cinch Nut travels down the Z-Rod
with the building as it shrinks and compresses. The CNX Series Cinch Nut is available in 1/8 inch increments for installation with threaded rods that
are 3/8 inch through 1-1/2 inch diameter.
Z4-CNX 5
CNX-Series Advantages
• Features perpetual ratcheting along the length of a threaded rod that is
not limited like the energy stored in a spring loaded device.
• Simple, one-time installation that does not require pin
or screw activation after the building is loaded.
• CNX models are matched to the rod diameter specified for optimal tolerances.

Tie-Down System
Bearing Plate Washer (BPW)
Z4 Bearing Plate Washers (BPW) are the interface between the Tie-Down System and the level of the building being anchored to the foundation. As
the floor system is pulled upward by shear wall over-turning forces, pressure is applied to the BPW/CNX assembly and transferred into the Z-Rod/
all thread rod (ATR). The required bearing area is based on the design uplift to minimize crushing of the wood and the plate thickness must be
sufficient that bending does not limit the capacity of the system. The wood species is also a factor when sizing. The pounds per square inch (psi)
of compression cannot exceed the allowable compression perpendicular to the grain of the wood species it is bearing on.

Tie-Down System
Z-Rod (ZR)
Z-Rods in the system transfer cumulative tension loads into the foundation due to overturning force and wind uplift. Z-Rods are threaded at each
end for making connections to the CNX Cinch Nut and to Coupler Nuts but unthreaded in the body. Because the steel for threading has not been
removed from the body of the rod, elongation from tension loading is less than it would be for an all-thread product. Z-Rods conforming to ASTM
A36 are plain finish and those conforming to ASTM A193 Grade B7 are zinc plated.

Tie-Down System
Anchor Tie (AT)
The Anchor Tie is a structural component designed for connecting Z4 Tie-Down Runs to steel members. Anchor Ties are fabricated from ASTM
Grade A36 steel plate and include a pre-welded nut, making the Tie-Down connection quick and easy. ATs are available in 9 and 12 inch heights.
Other heights available upon request. The 9 inch version with 1/4 inch plate steel legs is available for connecting 5/8” through 1-1/2” diameter
threaded rod and the 12 inch version with twice the steel thickness at the legs is used for connecting up to 2” diameter rod.
Common applications include connecting to steel plates at concrete decks and steel beams where Tie-Down runs terminate. When installing at
concrete decks, steel plates are designed by the Engineer of Record to resist the uplift loads. After concrete is poured, the AT is welded to the plate
and a threaded rod is connected to the Anchor Ties’ pre-welded nut enabling the Tie-Down Run from above to attach. Steel beam installations
are designed by the EOR. The Anchor Tie is welded to the beam prior to floor framing then attachment of the threaded rod and Tie-Down Run
completes the installation.

Z4 Tie-Down Systems utilize CNX-Series Cinch Nuts to compensate for
wood shrinkage and building settlement that cause connections to loosen
over time. The Cinch Nut uses a self-ratcheting action that permits the
cinch nut to move (the rod doesn’t move) or “travel” perpetually in one
direction only down the rod. Available for installation with threaded rods
that are 3/8 inch through 1-1/2 inch diameter in 1/8 inch increments, the
CNX Cinch Nut has been code evaluated and published in ESR-2190.
•Place the specified Bearing Plate Washer onto the bottom plate of a wood framed wall.
•With the “wings” oriented downward, place Cinch Nut over the Z-Rod extending from below and push down until it seats firmly on the Bearing Plate Washer.
•Install 1/4 inch diameter USP WS-Series screws through the wings, penetrating 1 -1/2 inches (minimum) into the wood bottom plate.
•Model numbers BPW5 and BPW6 fit in-between the screws fastening the wings.
•Model numbers BPW7 (3-1/4 x 4-3/8) and larger are provided with two screw holes. Align the wing and the Bearing Plate Washer screw holes to allow installation of 1/4 inch diameter WS-Series screws.

Design Example
Introduction
The Z4 Tie-Down System is comprised of multiple threaded rods joined with coupling nuts to create a continuous, multi-story Tie-Down Run that is
connected to the structure at each floor with a Z4-CNX Cinch Nut installed over a Z4-Bearing Plate Washer.
Overturning of the building shear walls create an uplift force on the floor below that is resisted by the Z4 Tie –Down System. In multi-story
structures the uplift tension forces are transferred into the rods at each floor and/or roof level and are cumulative from the top to the bottom of
the Run.
In this catalog we provide three Design Examples that utilize Z4 components to resist tension loads.
• Design by referencing the Quick Reference Table (Assumes 10 foot rod lengths and 0.0200 inch deflection limit)
• Design by using the catalog tables for each individual component including the CNX, BPW, Z-R and CNW
• Design by using USP Specifier Design Software.

1. The values in this table are Allowable Stress Design (ASD) excluding a 1.33 stress increase and pertain to a maximum 0.20 in. total vertical displacement per floor. Values shown pertain to a 10-foot
Z-Rod length (L) and wood design values in accordance with 2012 NDS per species shown.
2. The allowable cumulative load is the Z-Rod (ZR) capacity to resist tension forces equal to the sum of individual floor loads from each level above the Cinch Nut (CNX) connection being considered.
3. The allowable individual floor load is the Cinch Nut (CNX) and Bearing Plate Washer (BPW) capacity to transfer uplift forces from the single level being considered into the Z-Rod (ZR). 4. Elongation of the Z-Rod is determined by calculating (PLT/ATE) + (PLU/AUE) ; where P = cumulative tension force, LT = length of rod with threads (.25L), LU = length of rod without threads (.75L), AT = effective cross sectional area of rod length with threads, AU = net cross sectional area of rod length without threads, and E = Modulus of Elasticity (29x106) .
5. Total vertical displacement is the sum of wood deformation due to compression of the Bearing Plate Washer (BPW), total movement of the Cinch Nut (CNX), and total Z-Rod (ZR) elongation per floor.
6. Cinch Nut model numbers CNX-5 through CNX-12 are evaluated and approved per ICC-ES (ESR-2190); CNX-3 & CNX-4 are ESR pending.
Design Example
By Component Capacities
GIVEN
Code: 2012 IBC
Story Height: 9' 0"
6,000 lbs.
1' 0"
STEP 1. LOOKUP COMPONENT CAPACITIES
A. Bearing Plate Washer (BPW) Capacity > ASD Design Uplift Load:
BPW 11 (3-1/4 x 5-7/8) Capacity = 10,750 lbs. > 9,000 lbs
OK!
B. Standard-Grade Z-Rod (ZR) Capacity > Cumulative ASD Design Uplift Load:
ZR-8 STD Capacity = 17,080 lbs. > 15,000 lbs.
OK!
C. Cinch Nut (CNX) Hole Diameter = Z-Rod (ZR) Diameter:
CNX-8 (1" hole diameter) = ZR-8 STD (1" diameter)
D. Check: Cinch Nut (CNX) Capacity > ASD Design Uplift Load:
CNX-8 capacity = 29,285 lbs. > 9,000 lbs.
OK!
STEP 2. CALCULATE TOTAL FLOOR DEFORMATION
9,000 lbs.
9' 0"
Note:
This example uses 0.200” deflection limit and a 10 ft. rod
length. Design criteria may vary by building jurisdiction and
job specific requirements.
∆T = ∑ (∆L+ ∆M+ ∆W )
∆L = Z-Rod Elongation
∆M = Cinch Nut Movement
∆W = Bearing Plate Washer Deformation into Wood
STEP 3 Check total floor deformation ≤ code limit
The ICC-Evaluation Service Acceptance Criteria for Shrinkage Compensating Devices (AC316) requires the
Building Design Professional to consider a 0.20-inch (5 mm) vertical displacement limit for shear wall drift limit calculations.
The 0.20-inch vertical displacement limit can be exceeded when:
• All sources of vertical displacement are considered
• The shear wall story drift limit is not exceeded
• The deformation compatibility requirements of IBC Section 1604.4 are being met.

DESIGN PARAMETERS
Step 1: Define Design Conditions
• Select the “Number of Levels” (up to six) in the Run.
• If more than one of the same run occurs, increase the total “Quantity” accordingly.
• “Label Prefix” is a user definable field that allows for custom labeling of Runs.
• Check the “Fire-Treated” box if lumber is required to be fire-retardant.
Note:
This example uses 0.200” deflection limit
and a 10 ft. rod length. Design criteria may
vary by building jurisdiction and job specific
requirements.
Step 2: Define Start Conditions
• Select the “Start Level” in which the Run begins.
• Select the anchoring condition (concrete, wood beam, or steel beam).
• Note: When wood or steel beam is selected for anchoring a field becomes available for labeling.
Step 3: Define Cap Conditions
• Select the “Cap Condition” for the Run termination at the uppermost level.
• Note: When a “bridge” cap is selected a field becomes available for labeling.
Step 4: Define Floor Heights
• Input the overall floor height at each level by clicking on the dimension shown to the left of the Run illustration.
• Input the floor system depth at each level by clicking on the dimension shown to the left of the Run illustration.
DESIGN LOADS
Step 1: At the Table provided input “Level Tension” at each floor of the Run.
• Note: Table values will automatically be generated based on inputs at each floor.
• Note: Components meeting a Total Level Deflection limit of 0.200” per floor will automatically be inserted and labeled in the Run.
Step 2: Input any “Additional Compression” at each floor located in the table to the right of each level in the Run.
COMPRESSION MEMBERS
Step 1: Confirm that all compression members shown to the left of the Run are displayed in black font.
• Note: When red font occurs, use pull down menu to select appropriate compression members to satisfy
“Accumulated Compression” per floor.
ANCHOR ROD
Step 1: Anchor rod diameter, grade, length, and stub-up height are to be determined by the Engineer of Record.

Notes:
1. Fastening Bolts must comply with ASTM A307. Standard round washers and hex nuts, for tightening the CT or T2 to adjacent wood member(s), must comply with F844 and A563A respectively.
2.The minimum required distance from the end of the wood member to the centerline of the first bolt is seven bolt diameters. Increasing the end distance has no effect on the allowable tension load.
3. Single (Sandwiched) Assemblies are applicable to Tension Ties (T2) when one Tie is sandwiched between and through-bolted to two wood
members. One Tie and one HS rod required.
4. For Paired Assemblies, threaded rods must comply with ASTM F1554 Grade 36 (minimum) connecting the CT with one standard (F844) round washer and one A563A hex nut. For Single (Sandwiched) Assemblies, threaded rod must comply with ASTM A311 Grade 1045 (minimum).
5. Paired Assemblies of Continuity Ties (CT) require two Ties bolted together with a single wood member between. Two Ties and two STD rods required (one per Tie).

Notes:
1. Values in this table are Allowable Stress Design (ASD) for No. 1 grade Douglas Fir-Larch and include a 1.60 stress increase factor, CD, for short-
term load duration as permitted by the National Design Specification (NDS 2012).
2. Paired Assemblies of Continuity Ties (CT) require two ties to be connected to a standard grade anchor rod and the ties bolted together with a single wood member between.
3. Single (Sandwiched) Assemblies are applicable when one Tension Tie (T2) is sandwiched between and through-bolted to two wood members. One Tie and one HS rod and bolts required.
4. For compression loading the minimum required distance from the end of the wood member to the centerline of the first bolt is seven bolt
diameters. allowable tension load.
5. The capacity of the anchor rod must be equal to or greater than the allowable tension load of the Tie being attached. See table 3.2 for anchor rod capacities.
6. Allowable tension loads consider
• Tested CT or T2 capacity divided by 2.5
• Maximum anchor rod capacity
• Cross sectional area of the attached wood member where it is drilled for the bolted connection
7. Displacement at tension loads less than the respective allowable load are determined by proportioning the design load to the allowable load. Shrinkage of supporting wood members and anchor rod elongation are the responsibility of the Building Design Professional. Tabulated
displacement values consists of:
a) Vertical displacement of the CT or T2 Tie due to rotation.
b) Fastener slip where the CT or T2 Tie connects to the wood member. Concentric Ties

Notes:
1. The values in this table are Allowable Stress Design (ASD), excluding a 1.33 duration of load stress increase factor, CD.
2. STD indicates rods complying with ASTM F1554 Grade 36. HS indicates rods complying with ASTM A311 Grade 1045.
3. When using Continuity Ties (CT) to transfer compression loads, the Building Design Professional is responsible for checking the wood member(s) design capacity for the most critical load combination (i.e. bending about one or both principal axes and axial compression).
4. Compression capacities shown in blue apply to KL / r > CC , where: r = (DR - .9743 / n) / 4, where n = threads per inch,
Cc = (2π2 E / Fy)1/2, E = Modulus of Elasticity of rod, (29 x 106) and Fy = yield strength of rod steel (36 ksi).
5. Compression capacities assume a slenderness factor, K, of 1.00 or for installations with both ends of the rod pinned. When both ends of the rod are approximately fixed, K = 0.65.
6. Compression capacities are for Continuity Ties (CT) spaced no greater than the specified maximum unsupported length.

Shear Walls
Hardy Frame® Code Evaluations
ICC-Evaluation Service ESR-2089
LA City Research Report RR-25759
Hardy Frames has been leading the pre-manufactured shear wall industry from its beginning. We were the first to be recognized by ICBO-ES and
LA City, first to gain approval for multi-story applications, first Balloon Wall application and first to be recognized to comply with the 2003 and 2006
IBC and IRC Building Codes. Today we are the first, and only, to offer a 9 inch Panel width and a Balloon Wall application that is fully assembled in
the manufacturing plant and ships as a one piece unit.
All Hardy Frame® Panels and Brace Frames are code listed and include installations on concrete, raised floor and upper floor systems.
“Back to Back”
installations provide
two times the allowable
shear value
Hardy Frame®
HFX-Series Panels
• Panels are available in 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 inch widths
• Standard Heights range from 78 inches for portal applications to 20 feet for
Balloon Walls
• Custom heights are manufactured routinely
• R Value for design = 6.5, Cd = 4.0
• With proper detailing and anchorage “Back to Back”
installations provide two times the allowable shear
value without increasing the wall width
Hardy Frame®
HFX-Series Brace Frames
• Brace Frames are available in 32 and 44 inch widths
• Standard Heights range from nominal 8 to 13 feet
• Custom heights are manufactured routinely
• R Value for design = 6.5, Cd = 4.0
• For a given shear load, installing a wider
shear wall results in reduced overturning

Includes:
• One Template for accurate anchor spacing and alignment
• One Bolt Brace for installation at embed end of anchors to prevent independent sway while
pouring concrete
• Two 1-1/8 inch diameter hold down anchors
• Six Grade 8 hex nuts
• Two hardened round washers
• Two 1/2 x 3 x 3 plate washers are included when high strength (HS) anchors are specified
Hardy Frame® Bearing Plate (HFXBP)

• 3/4” thick x 3 1/2” wide ASTM A36 steel
• Length extends 3” beyond Panel edges. Check for outside corner conditions!
• Reduces wood deformation from overturning forces
• Reduces effects of shrinkage by eliminating bottom plate
Note: The allowable values in raised floor and upper floor tables assume installation of HFXBP.
Installation without a HFXBP may result in a reduction of allowable loads.

Hardy Frame® Moment Frame
SidePlate Code Evaluations
Included in the Standard AISC 358
ICC-Evaluation Service ESR-1275 Report
LA City Research Report RR-25393
Hardy Frames introduced the first standardized,
prefabricated Special Moment Frame in 2006. Since then
we have delivered thousands of Moment Frames that have
been successfully installed. Our Special Moment Frames
provide maximum structural capacities and enable large
openings in architectural design.
Hardy Frame® Special Moment Frames utilize the
SidePlate moment connection which has now been
approved by the Connection Prequalification Review
Panel (CPRP) for inclusion in the AISC 358 Prequalified
Moment Connection Standard. Typically, Hardy Frame®
Moment Frames are delivered to the jobsite in one-piece,
completely prefabricated with wood nailers attached, and
ready to be installed with no assembly. No field welding
and or special inspection is required.
On production framing jobs the Hardy Frame® Moment
Frame can’t be beat. We have delivered truckload
quantities of up to 30 Moment Frames that were installed
in a single day. That is an accomplishment that cannot be
matched by conventional or assembly-required moment
frames.
Custom Sizes and Custom Calculations
We offer over 300 standard dimension Moment Frames,
but we don’t stop there. We also offer calculations
and solutions for sizes beyond our standard listing. We
commonly provide solutions for two-story and multi-story
frames as well as for fixed based connections.
At Hardy Frames we understand that Moment Frames
require job-specific considerations. We work with
contractors to meet their needs without treating
adjustments as a custom order.

USP Structural Connectors
MiTek is the leading provider of structural connectors, software, and a range of engineered products to component manufacturers and building
material suppliers in the residential construction industry. The USP legacy of innovation dates back to 1933 when the original timber connectors
were conceived and standardized. Over the years the legacy grew by combining TECO, Silver, Lumberlok, Kant Sag, Hughes, Covert and Renown,
some of the most recognizable brands in the industry. These brands combined through the years to
eventually form one company - “United Steel Products”. In March, 2011 USP Structural Connectors
was purchased by MiTek USA, Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary.
Today, USP Structural Connectors is the branded product line
from MiTek that provides a complete line of code approved engineered
structural connectors, anchoring solutions, and design software solutions
