Overview

The ABB CB2-G PVC Coated Clamp-Back Spacer (SKU: CB2-G) is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant pipe support component designed for industrial applications requiring reliable conduit and pipe mounting. Engineered by ABB Installation Products, this spacer is constructed from durable malleable iron with a nominal 0.015" (15 mil) PVC coating, providing exceptional protection against corrosion and electrical interference. The 2-inch (53 metric) pipe size compatibility ensures versatility for HVAC, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical conduit installations. Key features include: - **Corrosion Resistance**: The PVC coating evenly encapsulates the malleable iron base, preventing metal exposure and ensuring long-term durability in harsh environments. This design is exclusive to Ocal® products, offering superior protection compared to uncoated alternatives. - **Airflow Spacing**: The clamp-back design creates a gap between the conduit and mounting surface, promoting ventilation to prevent heat buildup and condensation-related issues. - **Compatibility**: Specifically engineered for use with one-hole pipe straps, the CB2-G spacer integrates seamlessly into existing piping systems. The product is sized to accommodate the additional thickness of the PVC coating, ensuring a precise fit. Custom colors (white, blue) are available upon request for specialized applications. Ideal for mechanical rooms, manufacturing floors, and outdoor installations, the CB2-G spacer enhances system integrity by reducing wear on pipes and mounting surfaces. Its robust construction and corrosion-resistant properties make it a cost-effective solution for long-term infrastructure reliability.
