For other rod lengths, see Anchor Bolt Assemblies

• All Thread length = length of embed (le) + 12″ (formboard) + 6″(Kit assembly + height above concrete) For Raised Floor installations adjust the all thread length or extend length with a high strength coupling nut
• The Hardened Round Washers for connecting the Panel base may be substituted with two SAE or two Round-Flat Washers
• STD assemblies require a MiTek Hardy Bolt Brace (Minimum) double nutted at the embed end or 1/2x3x3 ASTM A36 Plate Washer
• HS assemblies require 1/2x3x3 ASTM A36 Plate Washer (Minimum) and the MiTek Hardy Bolt Brace is optional
• HS all thread rods provided by MiTek are stamped on both ends
  

• MiTek “STK” washers are required in the top of Panels when connecting to a hold down rod from above.
• HFTC Includes all rods, nuts and washers for making floor to floor tension connections
• For Panels – Indicate Panel width and rod grade
• For Brace Frames – Indicate rod grade

Note: The allowable values in raised floor and upper floor tables assume installation of MiTek Hardy Bearing Plate (HFXBP). Installation without a HFXBP may result in a reduction of allowable loads

• MiTek Stacking (“HFSW”) washers are required in the top of Panels when connecting to a hold down rod from above
• MiTek “STK” Panels, include Stacking Washers pre-welded inside the top channel
• When Stacking Washers have not been pre-welded, they are available individually or in Tension Connector Kits (HFTC)
• HFSW12 measures 2-3/4″ x 3″ for installation in HFX-12x Panels
• HFSW15-24 measures 2-3/4″ x 5″ for installation in HFX-15x through HFX-24x Panels

• 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 MiTek Hardy Bearing Plate (HFXBP). Installation without a HFXBP may result in a reduction of allowable loads.

• Sets bolts for “Back to Back” installation in 8″ wall framing
• Large cut-outs allow concrete and mortar placement
• 14 gage materials supports weight of embed bolts

MiTek Anchor Bolt Assemblies (HFAB) are sold individually in lengths of 36″, 48″, 60″ and 72″ inches to provide rod lengths of various embed depths. HFABs are available in Standard Grade (STD) and High Strength Grade (HS) to meet plan specifications and in 1-1/8 inch diameter for anchoring Panels, 7/8 inch diameters for anchoring Brace Frames.

When ordering Anchor Bolt Assemblies, remember to order templates and bolt braces.

The MiTek Hardy Saddle (HFS) is a 14 gage steel channel intended to be used as a splice at locations where plumbing or other vertical penetrations destroy the structural integrity of a walls top plates.

The Saddle can be installed over the top or from the underside of the top plates, and is capable of resisting both tension and compression loads in a clearspan of up to 4-1/2″ inches.

For wall depths greater than 3-1/2″, or to install after plumbing lines have been run, the product can be separated into two “L” shapes by gripping the legs of the channel and flexing the top surface along the serration lines.

• The MiTek HFP-Series and HFP/S-Series Post are available in 7/8 inch diameter hold down rods for connecting to Brace Frames above and in 1-1/8 inch diameter for connecting to Panels above.
• When connecting to 1-1/8 diameter anchor in concrete, use double nut installation and tighten the nut below with an open end box wrench.
• All Posts are 3 1/2˝ x 3 1/2˝ square and are fabricated from 12 gage steel.
• Custom heights up to 13′ are available.

• Straightens embed bolts while preventing concrete spall
• Place nut on bolt and position inside the HFBL cylinder. With handle oriented in direction to be bent, pull handle downwards
• Unique base plate applies compression to concrete to prevent spall
• Extension handle provides leverage

Note: Not recommended for use with high strength rods
