The ICFVL ledger connector system is engineered to solve the challenges of mounting wood or steel ledgers to insulated concrete form (ICF) walls. The ICFVL is designed to provide both vertical and lateral in-plane performance. The system offers many benefits over traditional anchor bolting, including better on-center spacing in most cases, faster installation, and no protrusions.
Wood Ledger Attachment — ICFVL-W or -CW
- Carton contains 15 pieces.
- Slip appropriate ledger connector underneath the ledger.
- Install the eight ICF-D3.25 screws partially into the ledger. ICF-D3.25 installs best using a low-speed drill with 3/8″ hex-head driver.
- For denser wood species (specific gravity ≥ .50), predrilling may be necessary. Predrill ledger only with 5/32″ drill bit.
- Position bottom of the ledger level to the chalk line and drive the screws through the wood and into the ICFVL.
- Position bottom of the ledger level to the chalk line and against the ICFVL
- Attach with four #14 x 3/4″, #3 drill-point screws (not provided)
- All screws should be located at least 1/2″ from the edge of the ICFVL
- Space screws evenly
- Industry studies show that hardened fasteners can experience performance problems in wet environments. Accordingly, use this product in dry environments only.
