Overview

The ABB S288JHN is a high-impact polystyrene Snap-Loc base spacer designed for precise alignment and separation of nonmetallic ducts. This spacer is engineered for use in concrete-encased duct banks and direct burial applications, providing stability and relieving direct stress on duct materials. The innovative Snap-Loc design features tapered joining slots with maximum tolerances, ensuring easy job site assembly and secure interlocking. The S288JHN offers a 2" x 1-1/2" trade size, with dimensions A=4.25 in., C=4.12 in., and D Dia.=2.50 in. It is manufactured by ABB Installation Products and is sold in standard cartons of 100 units. The spacer's non-metallic, non-corrosive, and non-conductive properties make it suitable for various electrical and mechanical installations. The dovetail tongue-and-groove feature facilitates easy installation, and for permanent fixture, Carlon Quick-Set cement glue or deformation of the dovetail can be employed. ABB is not responsible for Snap-Loc spacers used in direct burial applications; design engineers and contractors are responsible for installation design. This product is ideal for maintaining consistent separation between conduits or ducts, enhancing overall system reliability and efficiency in underground duct bank installations.
