FOX BLOCKS CURB BLOCK
There has always been a need for a block
that can create a ledge to support floor
systems within the wall without limiting
course heights. The Fox Blocks team has
solved this by adding an extra attachment point
within the tie. This patented solution allows
you to form a curb with the block to support
whatever you need to support.
USING THE CURB BLOCK:
1) INSTALLATION
See following page for proper steps using the curb block.
2) SHAPES AVAILABLE WITH THE CURB BLOCK:
Curb block is currently available in 8" and 10" straights, as well
as 8" and 10" ninety degree corners.
3) RANGE OF USE:
The Curb Block can be cut down as low as 11" from the top of
the block. You can also cut up to as much as 11" from the
bottom of the block to use when wrapping around concrete
slabs. See page two for an example of this.
4) ESTIMATING:
Straight blocks = 4'-0" long.
Formula: (Total linear footage of wall - total linear footage
taken up by 90˚ corners)/ 4 = Number of straight curb blocks
90˚ corner blocks = 5'-4" each.
Formula: Number of 90˚ turns = Number of 90˚ corner blocks
5) IDENTIFICATION:
The Curb Block has been designed with a green tie for easy
identification. By producing the ties in green, supply yards will
be able to identify and send you the proper block. This will also
ensure your crew will not use it in the wall at the wrong time.
6) BUNDLE SIZES:
8" straight block = 8" 90 degree corner block =
12 per bundle 6 per bundle
10" straight block = 10" 90 degree corner block =
9 per bundle 6 per bundle
7) EXCESS BLOCK?:
If you end up with extra Curb Block on site, you can save
for next job or simply use them up within the walls you are
building. The shape and size of the Curb Block is identical
to the normal straight and 90˚ corner blocks.
EXAMPLE OF
A GARAGE
SLAB/BEAM
Using the Curb Block
in a garage situation
allows a raw concrete
finish on the interior
face, eliminating the
need to cover EPS. Any
height beam or wall
can use curb block on
top row. Optionally, a
field cut taper can be
cut into outside face for
extra bearing.
