FOX BLOCKS T-BLOCK
Sure you can build T walls with a couple of
straight block and some tie wire, but if you
want to lower your man hour rate, you need
the Fox Blocks T-Block.
When contractors said they needed a T-Block,
Fox Blocks delivered with one that is easy to
use and incredibly strong.
FOX BLOCK T-BLOCK FEATURES:
1) The T-Blocks are available in 6" and 8" concrete cores.
2) Six T-Blocks per bundle (3 short and 3 long)
3) Two ties* are used at the intersection of the “T” to
give maximum strength and attachment. These ties
are placed in such a way as to allow proper rebar
placement and ultimate form strength.
* Ties are the black recycled polypropylene members that
give the block strength and provide rebar positioning.
4) Like all Fox Blocks, blocks are reversible which gives
you double the options with just one block. You can
choose to have the T section on the right or left of
center simply by flipping the block over.
5) Foam thickness is 2.625" on all blocks.
6) Ties allow proper rebar lap splices, for maximum
flowability during concrete placement and consolidation.
7) Ties are clearly marked in EPS for attachments.
8) Tie flanges are 1.5" wide and full height for ease
of attachment.
9) Ties touch vertically when stacked eliminating
form settlement.
10) The T-Block will give you 8" of overlap
most directions.
8" T-BLOCK INSTALLATION
The unique manufacturing challenges were overcome for the
8" T-Block by establishing a 4" offset. This off-set results in
rows of ties staggered by 4" if placed with factory ends against
each other. The easy fix to properly line up ties is to install the
T-Block and create a stacked joint at the butt end of the long T
leg. Strap stack joint prior to concrete placement.
OUTSIDE DIMENSIONS ARE:
6" T - Block Short = 44" x 4.375"
6" T - Block Long = 44" x 12.375"
8" T - Block Short = 44" x 4.75"
