HARDY PORTAL FRAME (HFMFT) AND PICTURE FRAME (HFPICT) TEMPLATES

Hardy Portal Frame and Picture Frame Templates are fabricated from 14 gage steel to assure accurate centerlines between anchors within the column and enable measurement for column centerlines. Place the Templates on form boards with duplex nails to secure in place. At interior conditions or when using the Picture Frame Template, attach to wood members that stakes can be used for placement. Half-circle cutouts are provided for measuring centerlines between columns.

HARDY BOLT BRACE (HFMFBB) (HFPICBB)

The Hardy Bolt Brace is designed for use with Hardy Portal Frame and Picture Frame Templates. Bolt Braces are made of 14 gage steel. Install by connecting with “double nuts” to the embed end of the anchor bolts to prevent sway while concrete is being poured leaving anchors parallel and plumb to each other.

ANCHOR BOLT ASSEMBLIES (HFAB)

Anchor Bolt Assemblies are sold individually in lengths of 36, 48 and 60 inches to provide rod lengths for various embed depths. Anchor Bolt Assemblies consist of

• (2) High Strength Anchor Bolts
• 1/2” x 3” x 3” ASTM A36 Plate Washer
• Hardened Round Washer
• Grade 8 Nuts.

PLATE WASHER (HFPW)

The MiTek Plate Washer (HFPW) is a 1/2″ thick x 3″ x3″ ASTM A36 Plate Washer that is available for 3/4″ and 1-1/8″ diameter threaded rods. The HFPW installs on the embed end of anchor bolts being cast into concrete.

HARDY PORTAL FRAME ANGLES (HFMFA)

Portal Frame Angles provide a structural connection of the MiTek SMF beam to the face of existing framing. The HFMFA is 1/4 inch, ASTM A36 steel, fabricated with pre-punched screw holes on one leg and slotted bolt holes on the other. Slotted holes enable the Angle to be moved in and out of the wall line for adjustment

HARDY PORTAL FRAME PLATES (HFMFP)

Hardy Portal Frame Plates are typically used to transfer shear horizontally from an existing structure to the beam of a MiTek SMF.  The HFMFP is 1/4 inch, ASTM A36 steel fabricated with pre-punched screw holes for connection to the structure and slotted bolt holes for connection to the SMF beam. Slotted holes enable the Plate to be moved in and out of the wall line for adjustment
