Overview

The ABB S288SJN is a robust 8 x 2 inch Snap-Loc duct spacer, expertly crafted from high-impact polystyrene for superior durability in demanding industrial applications. Designed for use with nonmetallic ducts, this spacer ensures consistent separation and stability, particularly vital when ducts are encased in concrete or used in direct burial scenarios. The innovative Snap-Loc design features tapered joining slots with generous tolerances, facilitating quick and secure job site assembly, thereby reducing labor time and enhancing project efficiency. Each spacer is engineered with a side dovetail rail-and-groove for seamless horizontal interlocking and stability between adjacent spacers. The S288SJN model specifically provides an 8-inch trade size duct with a 2-inch separation, adhering to NEMA TC-2, TC-6 & 8 and ASTM F512 standards for non-metallic duct compatibility. While ABB is not responsible for direct burial applications without proper engineering design, these spacers are built to withstand the rigors of such installations when correctly implemented. The product's dimensions are A=7.38 in., C=10.76 in., and D Dia.=8.75 in., with a standard carton quantity of 30. For permanent installations, Carlon Quick-Set cement glue or mechanical deformation of the dovetail can be employed. Trust ABB Installation Products for reliable and efficient solutions that maintain proper alignment and safety in your electrical infrastructure projects.

Special Features
Snap-Loc Spacers provide a side dovetail rail-and-groove design enabling side-by-side interchangeability of conduit spacer sizes while maintaining horizontal stability
Special Features
Side dovetail rail and groove design allows for side by side interchangeability of conduit spacer sizes while maintaining horizontal stability. Locking keyways incorporated into intermediate spacers eliminate the need for costly top spacers in each size. They provide for the use of a beaded strap that helps secure the top section of conduit. 1 and 2 inches Snap Loc reducers allow fixturing of 1 or 2 inches conduit inside larger spacers. The Snap Loc rebar holder helps provide stabilization on large banks of spacers
