Zont Bracing
Zont Twist™ Bracket
The Zont Twist™ locks the 2×4 walers and strongbacks against the ICF wall to flatten the wall horizontally and vertically.
The plastic cam is twisted counterclockwise to quickly lock the lumber, reducing the installation time by one half. The cam is designed so that any wall settlement will tighten the lumber against the wall.
Specifications:
- ✓ Galvanized to prevent corrosion
- ✓ Strong 10 gauge steel
- ✓ High strength polypropylene cam
- ✓ Unit weight: 1.86 pounds
- ✓ Packaging: 20 per box
- ✓ Box weight: 39 pounds
- ✓ Box size: 20.5″ x 11.5″ x 10.3″ H

Zat
Zee
- ✓ Lightweight, easy to install
Each ZEE weighs just 2.9 pounds and is easy to install using 1-1/2″ x #8 deck screws. They work with all ICFs that have the ties molded into the foam.
- ✓ Eliminate 3 marriage lines per T-junction
Forming T-junctions with ZEEs eliminates three marriage lines at each junction. As each marriage line takes approximately 40 minutes to cut, reinforce with 1x4s and strip, that’s a lot of wasted labour. In the photo below, no marriage lines were required using ZEEs.
As each marriage line requires cutting the ICF block on each side of the line, this leads to excessive ICF waste.
- ✓ Reinforce Offset Corners
Offset corners are always a challenge to brace. ZEEs allow you to do this quickly without having to rip down plywood and waste dimensional lumber. As ZEEs can be reused many times, their effective cost is minimal.
Zeveler
Zeveler Bracket
The Zeveler bracket is ideal for leveling up an ICF wall on top of a footing that is out of level.
Pairs of Zevelers are installed 8′ on center around the perimeter of the bottom two courses of ICF blocks and adjusted to level the wall perfectly. The space between the bottom of the ICF wall and the footing is then filled in with ICF non-expansive foam.
The 7/16″ hex head driver allows easy adjustment with an electric drill.
The bottom of the Zeveler has a rounded head that prevents the steel from “walking” on the footing.
Specifications:
- ✓ Zinc plated to prevent corrosion
- ✓ Strong 12 gauge steel frame
- ✓ Acme thread for durability and self-cleaning of concrete
- ✓ High quality, can be reused many times
- ✓ Unit weight: 1.9 lbs/pair
- ✓ Packaging: 18 pairs per Lo Zote
