Mitering an ICF Ledge Corner IV

Last post we got the corner insulating concrete form ledge put together and we are now ready to address the reinforcement needs for the concrete ledge. The xLerator is our patented ICF ledge reinforcement system, it simply drops in place and provides the reinforcement in all of the ledge corbels. So when you are putting together your ICF ledge corner, some simple modifications are needed to the xLerator to make it fit nicely in the corner.
xLerator Ledge Reinforcement
The xLerator is used to reinforce the ledge form and must be cut and bent to form 90 degrees.
- Cut the tab that sticks out from the spreader bar on the corbel side & eliminate about 1 ½”.
- Jump over that spreader bar on the same side as you just cut and cut between the cross piece you save and the next cross bar removing approximately 5” of material.
Bend the cross piece 45 degrees. See detail 6-05 in the Reward ICF Product Manual for further description.
Repeat those steps on another xLerator, on the opposite side so they fit nicely on top of each other and provide reinforcement everywhere there is concrete.
