MiTek Hardy Frame
®
Special Moment Frames are constructed of wide ange columns connected to hollow
structural steel (HSS) beams with SidePlate special moment connections.
The SidePlate special moment connection is approved in the AISC 358 Prequalied Moment Connections
Standard and the review included testing that conrmed lateral bracing to prevent twist and out-of-plane
displacements is not required at the hollow structural section (HSS) beams. Standard congurations are the
Hardy Frame

Moment Frame with a pinned base and the Hardy Frame

Picture Frame.
Hardy Frame

Moment Frame
• Standard designs for nominal 6" through 14" column depths with pinned base anchorage
are now available
• Delivery options for pre-assembled, bolted column splice or “knock-down”
• All standard designs t in typical 8" wall framing, 6" column depths t 6" framing
• New construction and retrot applications
• Includes wood nailers at top & bottom of HSS beam and at all column anges
Hardy Frame
®
Picture Frame
• Constructed with HSS beams at top and bottom of Frame, SidePlate special moment connections at
all four corners
• HSS beam at bottom of Frame eliminates the engineering and eld construction of costly grade beams
• Signicant reductions in installation time result from elimination of eld built grade beam
• Standard designs for nominal 6" through 14" column depths that t into typical wall framing with
double the capacity of our pinned base option are now available
• All the same delivery options and wood nailer inclusions as the Hardy Frame

The all new MiTek Hardy Frame
®
CFS Moment Frame and CFS Picture Frame are the industries
rst standardized, pre-engineered, pre-manufactured cold formed steel moment frames.
Lighter and less cost than structural steel moment frames, our CFS product line provides high
capacities, ductility and cost economics that complete a spectrum of MiTek shear wall solutions.
Standard congurations are the Hardy Frame
®
CFS Moment Frame (portal applications) and
the Hardy Frame CFS Picture Frame for stacking in multi-story applications.

Code Report: ER-491
• Similar materials and installation as Hardy Frame Panels the industry leader for 20 years
• Available in standard designs and standard detailing
• Capacities that are equal to four or ve Hardy Frame Panels of same width
• Can be installed “Back to Back” to double the capacity
Hardy Frame

CFS Picture Frame
• Sill beam that assembles at the bottom of the Frame distributes compression over wood below to signicantly
reduce crushing and maintain shear capacity
• Incorporates the MiTek Z4 Continuous Tie-Down System to transfer overturning and uplift forces to the foundation
• Narrow columns (12 through 21") and shallow beam depths (12 and 15") enable large openings and
architectural freedom
• Ships as a “knock-down” unit: easy to handle, ship and eld assemble
