Simpson Strong-Tie LEDGER CONNECTOR SYSTEM-0009

Engineered Solution for Fixing Wood or Steel Ledgers to Insulated Concrete Walls

The Simpson Strong-Tie ICFLC & ICFVL-CW Ledger Connector System is a high-performance fastening solution specifically designed for mounting wood or steel ledgers onto insulated concrete form (ICF) walls. With its integrated embedment leg and structural flange, this system provides strength, reliability, and ease of use in ICF construction.

Key Features

• Designed for ICF Wall Integration
  Tailored for secure attachment of structural ledgers to insulated concrete walls in residential and light commercial applications.

• Versatile Ledger Mounting
  Supports both timber and steel ledger applications with the same connector system.

• Embedded Leg with Perforations
  Allows concrete to flow through during pour, locking the connector into the wall for superior anchorage.

• Exposed Structural Flange
  Provides a stable and strong mounting face once the concrete has cured, ensuring consistent load transfer to the wall.

• Fast and Easy to Install
  Eliminates the complexity of field-fabricated anchoring solutions, reducing installation time and labour on site.

Benefits

• Reliable Ledger Support
  Maintains structural integrity for floors, decks, or balconies attached to ICF walls.

• Minimal Disruption to Insulation
  Embeds directly into the form without compromising the insulation continuity of the ICF wall system.

• Clean Finish
  Ensures a neat, flush appearance for the mounted ledger without additional backing plates or awkward fastener placement.

• No Splicing Required at Fix Point
  Simplifies planning by avoiding the need to join ledgers at ICFLC mounting points.

Material Specification

Specification	Detail
Product Code	ICFLC & ICFVL-CW – 0009 Series
Ledger Compatibility	Wood or steel
Concrete Grade Requirement	Minimum C20/25
Environment Suitability	Dry interior use only

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

Applications

• Floor joist and beam ledgers to ICF walls

• Mounting balconies or exterior decks to insulated concrete structures

• Structural interfaces between wood/steel framing and concrete core walls

Installation Notes

• Spacings apply to vertical loads only – lateral loads must be assessed separately.

• Do not splice ledger at connector location – maintain uninterrupted ledger length at ICFLC fixing points.

• No load duration factors – connector capacity is based on sustained loading conditions.

• Interior Use Only – not recommended for wet or exterior environments due to performance limitations of hardened fasteners.

⚠️ WARNING: Hardened fasteners used with this system are not suited for moisture-exposed environments. Use only in dry, interior settings.
