The ICFLC and ICFLC-W ledger connector system is engineered to solve the challenges of mounting steel or wood ledgers on insulated concrete form (ICF) walls.

Simpson's ledger connector system is easy, quick and versatile to use. The perforations in the embedded leg of the ICFLC permit the concrete to flow around it anchoring the ICFLC securely within the block. The exposed flange provides a structural surface for mounting either a wood or a steel ledger.

Material: ICFLC-14 gauge; ICFLC-W and ICFLC-CW-16 gauge.
Finish: Galvanized.

INSTALLATION OF ICFLC:

•	Snap a line for the bottom of the ledger and mark off the required on center spacing.

•	Cut vertical kerfs at the marked location on the ICF. Bottom of ICFLC is 1" below chalk line.

•	Insert an ICFLC bracket through each cut. Glue is recommended on the exposed flange to the ICF.

•	Place the concrete (f'c=2500psi).

ATTACHMENT OF WOOD LEDGER:

•	Slip the ICFLC-W underneath the wood ledger.

•	Attach the 6 screws partially into the ledger.

•	Position the ICFLC-W with the ledger bottom level with chalk line and drive the screws through the wood and the ICFLC.

ATTACHMENT OF STEEL LEDGER:

•	Position the steel ledger up against the ICFLC and drive the required number of screws through the steel ledger into the ICFLC.

•	All screws shall be located at least 1/2" from the edge of the ICFLC.

•	Space screws evenly.
