Nudura Horizontal Joint Hooks

Description

Nudura "horizontal joint hooks" are actually the Vertical Joint Clip (VJC), a metal wire designed to connect the vertical joins of Nudura Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF). They are pre-bent galvanized steel wires that secure blocks together at their vertical seams, replacing the need for tape or tie wire. This provides a strong and stable connection with less labor and helps maintain the forms' shape and accuracy during concrete pouring.

What they are

Vertical Joint Clip (VJC): The correct product name is the Vertical Joint Clip.
Galvanized steel wire: The clip is a pre-bent, galvanized steel wire.
Function: It locks the forms together at vertical seams, which are the joints where two blocks meet end-to-end.

How they work

Secure connection:

The VJC provides a solid and secure connection, which ensures no additional movement occurs in the forms when concrete is being placed.
Labor-saving:

It is a much more efficient alternative to traditional methods like taping or tying wire to join the forms.
Placement:

The clips are installed on factory-to-factory vertical joints or on cut ends, with the specific number of clips needed per joint depending on the course (e.g., first course vs. subsequent courses) and whether it's a standard joint or a corner connection.
