Cold-Formed Steel:ICFVL Ledger Connector System

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. There are many benefits over traditional anchor bolting, including better on center spacing in most cases, faster installation and no protrusions.

The embedded legs of the ICFVL are embossed for additional stiffness and the hole allows for concrete to flow through and around the connector. The exposed flange on the face of the ICF provides a structural surface for mounting either a wood or steel ledger.

Material: ICFVL - 68 mil (14 ga)

Finish: Galvanized.

Installation: ICFVL in ICF

Snap a chalk line for the bottom of the ledger.
Mark required on center spacing.
Use ICFVL to mark kerfs locations.
Cut kerfs at marks.
Insert ICFVL flush to the face of the ICF.
Pour concrete.

CFS Ledger Attachment

Position the ledger level to the chalk line and against the ICFVL.
Attach with four 14x3/4", #3 drill point screws (not provided).
All screws should be located at least 1/2" from the edge of the ICFVL.
Space screws evenly.

WARNING: Industry studies show that hardened fasteners can experience performance problems in wet environments.
Accordingly, use this product in dry environments only.

These tables address vertical load applications only.

Fasteners for CFS ledger are not provided.
Loads apply to ICF foam thicknesses of 2 3/4" or less. Contact Simpson for allowable loads on thicker walls.
Alternately, #14 x 3/4" fastener may be used.
Tabulated loads are governed by tests and may not be increased. Refer to Steel Stress Increase for additional information.
Concrete f'_c = 2500 psi minimum.
When combining download and lateral loads, Designer shall evaluate as follows:
Design Download/Allowable Download + Design Lateral Load/Allowable Lateral Load ≤ 1.

These tables address vertical load applications only.

The Designer may specify different spacing based on the load requirements.
See flier F-ICFVL for additional connection details.
CFS ledger values are based on steel. F_u = 65 ksi.
