Overview

The ABB S289SHN (SKU: S288SHN) is an 8 x 1-1/2 inch Snap-Loc base spacer engineered by ABB - Installation Products for robust electrical installations. Constructed from high-impact polystyrene, this spacer provides essential separation and stability for non-metallic ducts, particularly in concrete encasement and direct burial applications. Its innovative Snap-Loc design features tapered joining slots with maximum tolerances, facilitating quick and easy job site assembly and reducing labor time. The dovetail tongue-and-groove feature ensures horizontal stability and allows for side-by-side interchangeability of different spacer sizes within a duct bank. The S289SHN spacer is designed to relieve direct stress on duct materials, maintaining consistent separation. With dimensions of 10.14 inches (A), 10.3 inches (C), and 8.75 inches (D), it is suitable for maintaining specified clearances between conduits. The standard carton quantity is 30 units. While not UL Listed, these spacers are critical for ensuring proper duct bank design and installation integrity, especially when combined with appropriate backfill compaction in direct burial scenarios. ABB is not responsible for Snap-Loc spacers used in direct burial applications; design engineers and contractors are responsible for the installation design. This spacer is ideal for industrial, commercial, and residential projects requiring reliable conduit support and separation.
  • 8 x 1-1/2 Inch trade size for duct separation.
  • High-impact polystyrene construction for durability.
  • Snap-Loc design with tapered joining slots for easy assembly.
  • Dovetail tongue-and-groove for horizontal stability.
