Basic ICF Installation Penetrations, Beam Pockets, and Blockouts Penetration Sleeves

Penetration Sleeves

  1. The sleeve for a penetration should be constructed to the size required and no larger.
  2. Typically PVC pipe is used and placed through the ICF where required. The pipe should extend past the ICF several inches until the final wall is poured.
  3. Use spray foam adhesive around the sleeve on both sides to seal the sleeve in place and prevent any concrete leakage.
  4. Brace, strap and reinforce as necessary if multiple penetrations are located close to each other.
  5. Ensure proper concrete consolidation around all penetrations.
Brace and strap appropriately around penetrations, especially when there are multiple penetrations
