For Hardy Frame® Brace Frames, does it matter which way the diagonal goes?

The diagonal member in Brace Frames acts in both tension and compression therefore there is not a “correct” orientation of the diagonal member. We do recommend when two Brace Frames are being installed in a single wall that the diagonals be oriented to oppose each other, but this is not a requirement.
