Duct Spacers provide stability, consistent separation
and relieve direct stress for duct materials encased in concrete
and direct-burial applications.

Snap-Loc
®
Spacers provide:
• A side dovetail rail-and-groove design enabling
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. The locking keyways provide for the use of
a beaded strap that secures the top section of conduit
• 1" and 2" Snap-Loc
®
Reducers enable fixturing of
1" or 2" conduit inside larger spacers
• The Snap-Loc
®
Rebar Holder provides stabilization
on large banks of spacers
Non-metallic Snap-Loc
®
Spacers are designed specifically for use with
non-metallic duct, with maximum O.D. dimensions as specified in NEMA
TC-2, TC-6 & 8 and ASTM F512. The innovative vertical and horizontal
interlocking Snap-Loc
®
design has tapered joining slots with maximum
tolerances for easy jobsite assembly.
Important:
The use of duct spacers for direct burial may result in excessive point
deflections unless proper design engineering is applied, such as the
proper compaction of the appropriate backfill material.

Installation Note
The Spacers and Rebar Holder are designed with a dovetail
tongue-and-groove feature for easy installation.
If required to permanently fix the position of a group of Spacers
and/or Rebar Holder, the following are recommended procedures:
1. Use Carlon
®
Quick-Set Cement glue during assembly or spot glue
after assembly to secure.
2. During assembly, deform the edge of the tongue or groove portion
of the dovetail slide with a pair of pliers or similar tool. This deformation
will create an interference, restricting movement.
3. An assembled system may be wired together for additional support.
Important:
The use of duct spacers for direct burial may result in excessive point
deflections unless proper design engineering is applied, such as the
proper compaction of the appropriate backfill material.
