Simpson Strong Ties

Ledger Connector System

The ICF Ledger Connector System is engineered to solve the challanges of mounting wood or steel ledgers on insulated concrete form (ICF) walls.  Simpson's ledger connector system is easy, quick and versatile to use.  This year Simpson introduced a new component of the system-the ICFVL-designed to provide both vertical and lateral, in-plane resistance.  The system is still quick, versatile and easy to use but now provides so much more!

Simpson's ICFVL is made from galvanized, 14 gauge steel.  The embedded legs are embossed for additional stiffness and the holes allow for concrete to flow through and around the connector.  The exposed flange provides a structural surface for mounting either a wood or a steel ledger.

ICFVL vs Anchor Bolts.  The ICFVL is quick and installs in less than half the time that it takes to install anchor bolts.  Bolts require a pressure-treated wood ledger but with with the ICFVL pressure-treated wood ledgers are not necessary.  Anchor bolts protrude from the wall and can be a safety issue.  The ICFVL is flush mount, so there are no protrusions.

The allowable down load (vertical load applications only)for the ICFVL w/ICFVL-W or the ICFVL w/ICFVL-CW is 1,920 pounds.

ICFVL is embedded in the concrete and becomes the steel ledger connector.  Then the ledger is attached with either an ICFVL-W or an ICFVL-CW. 

ICFVL-W  is for wood ledgers and each comes with 6 D3 screws.

ICFVL-CW  is for steel ledgers/LVLs and screws are ordered seperately.
