Over the years
poured concrete foundations have become more complex
with multiple bays and small offsets. Even in entry
level homes you may find odd offsets in the walls.
The
2” is accomplished with the use of a Four Hole
Combination Tie. We recommend use of 50% more four hole
ties in seam than would normally be used.The 2”
requires flathead pins on both sides of the wall.
4
inch
The
4” Offset requires the use of a 90° Angle
Clips or an OSC angle and 4”x4” ISC to achieve
the desire dimension.
6
inch
The 6” Offset requires the use of a 2” OSC
“W” and the use of a 4”x4” ISC
to achieve the desire dimension.
8
inch
The 8” Offset requires the use of a 2” OSC
“W” and the use of a 4”x6” ISC
to achieve the desire dimension.
Common
rules and mistakes
Rules
-
1. Always use the largest corners available to achieve
offsets, for example: 4”x6” ISC and a 4”x4”
OSC “W” to achieve a 10” offset.
2. When Forming Offsets with corners and fillers larger
than 4”, bracing is required to eliminate the
chance of “kicking” or moving out of square
when concrete is placed.
Mistakes -
1. Forming small offsets with fillers may hinder the
stripping process. An example of this is using an 4”
filler with an 8” offset. It is virtually impossible
to remove a 4” filler pin adjacent to a 4”
ISC.
2. Not bracing a offset larger than 4” may result
in an out of square offset.
Offset
ISC
The
Offset ISC is designed to eliminate the need for additional
bracing. This is achieved by placing holes in the face
sheet of this ISC. This allows ties to past through
the center of the offset.The offset ISC is one of WTF-most
versatile corners, it can be used as a standard ISC
or for various offsets using different size fillers.
One pair Flathead Pin is required to achieve offsets.
Adjustable
Offset ISC
The
Adjustable Offset is a one piece ISC. One pair is required
to accomplish offset. No additional ties or bracing
is required using these offset ISC. The Adjustable Offset
ISC is used for a variety of different offsets without
the need for different sized fillers. Standard offsets
are 6"-14" on 2" increments.>
