FOX BLOCKS’ xLERATOR – the only product of its kind in the industry and first one to meet ACI 318 guidelines – is a patented ICF ledge reinforcement system that offers unmatched versatile performance ideal for supporting brick and stone exterior finishes, as well as slabs, floors and other structural features. The one-piece, 4-foot long, welded wire reinforcement piece simply drops into the pre-formed slots in Fox Blocks’ ledge form. There’s never been a faster way to meet deadlines and building code requirements, all while significantly reducing labor costs and delays associated with pre-bent stirrups or in-field rebar reinforcement.
There’s no comparison between the xLerator® and the pre-bent or bent-in-field rebar reinforcement recommended by other insulated concrete form companies. This patented design is a one-piece wire reinforcement that simply drops into the pre-formed slot in Fox Blocks’Corbel Ledge. No tying or lapping is required — reducing labor costs and time-consuming delays. The xLerator is fully engineered to properly address ledge loads and galvanized to protect against corrosion, which can lead to reduced capacity of the concrete. Available exclusively from Fox Blocks, the xLerator is the only ICF ledge reinforcement system to meet ACI 318 guidelines. Covered by U.S. Patent #7,437,858
WHY HOT-DIPPED GALVANIZED? Hot-dip galvanization is the process of taking steel and dipping it into molten zinc to serve as a protective coating. If rebar in a ledge form is NOT galvanized, it’s subject to corrosion because it is placed close to the outside edge of the brick ledge, sits in a foam slot, and is not completely encased in concrete. This allows water to reach the rebar and causes it to rust. As the rebar rusts, it expands, causes concrete to crack, and undermines the stability of the ledge. Since the xLerator is hot-dipped galvanized, it protects the reinforcement from rusting and maintains the integrity of the concrete meeting ACI 318 guidelines. APPLICABLE ACI 318 GUIDELINES Deformed Welded Wire Reinforcement (WWR) • Reinforcement in every corbel • WWR 60,000 PSI Yield Strength • xLerator meets these guidelines
