Tie-Down System

for Lateral Load

To resist tension loads due to

overturning moments in multi-story

buildings the CNX Cinch Nut is installed

over a Bearing Plate Washer at each

level in a fast and easy application. At

the upper-most level a Cinch Nut is

installed over a Bearing Plate Washer

above the top plates. At walls below

that bear on wood oor systems, the

Cinch Nut and Bearing Plate Washer

are installed over the bottom plate.

Tension loads are gathered at each

level and transferred into the

foundation through a continuous

system of Cinch Nuts, Bearing Plate

Washers, Z-Rods/ATRs and Couplers

all are available lines of MiTek

MiTek

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"

through 1-1/2" diameter in 1/8" increments, the CNX Cinch Nut has

been code evaluated and published in ESR-2190.

• Place the specied 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 rmly

on the Bearing Plate Washer.

• Install 1/4" diameter MiTek

Pro Series

™

Screws through

the wings, penetrating 1-1/2" (minimum) into the wood

bottom plate.

• Model numbers BPW5 and BPW6 t 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" diameter MiTek

Pro Series

™

Screws.
