Key Features

• Engineered for LVL Ledgers: The ICFVL-CW is specifically designed for use with 13/4" single LVL ledger sizes when connecting composite wood ledgers to ICF walls.
• Embossed Embedded Legs: The embedded legs of the ICFVL are embossed for additional stiffness, ensuring structural integrity once set in concrete.
• Concrete Flow-Through Hole: A strategically placed hole allows concrete to flow through and around the connector during the ICF pour, fully encapsulating and anchoring the embedded portion.
• Exposed Structural Flange: The exposed flange on the face of the ICF provides a structural surface for mounting either a wood or steel ledger.
• Vertical and Lateral In-Plane Performance: The ICFVL system is designed to provide both vertical and lateral, in-plane load performance.
• No Protrusions: Eliminates the protrusions associated with traditional anchor bolting for a cleaner, safer installation.
• Faster Installation: Offers faster installation compared to traditional anchor bolt methods.
• 16-Gauge Steel Construction: Made from 16-gauge steel for reliable strength and durability.
• G90 Galvanized Finish: Zinc galvanized (G90) coating provides corrosion resistance for long-term performance.
• Made in the USA: Manufactured in the United States.
• Hardware Included: Each connector includes (8) ICF-D3.25 screws for a complete installation package.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ledger size and type is the ICFVL-CW designed for?

The ICFVL-CW is specifically designed for use with 13/4" LVL (laminated veneer lumber) composite wood ledgers when connecting to insulated concrete form (ICF) walls. It is not intended for standard dimensional lumber ledgers.

What hardware is included with each connector, and how is it installed?

Each ICFVL-CW connector includes 8 ICF-D3.25 screws. The connector installs using ICF-D3.62 screws into the ledger, providing a secure structural connection at the face of the ICF wall.

What material and finish is used on the ICFVL-CW, and why does it matter?

The ICFVL-CW is made from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, which is important for connectors that will be embedded in concrete during the ICF wall pour.

What advantages does the ICFVL system offer over traditional anchor bolting for ICF walls?

The ICFVL ledger connector system offers better on-center spacing in most cases, faster installation, and no protrusions compared to traditional anchor bolting methods. The embedded legs are embossed for additional stiffness, and a hole in the connector allows concrete to flow through and around it during the pour, fully anchoring the embedded portion within the wall.
