New Product from Thomas & Betts Simplifies Duct Base Installation

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Carlon® Snap-N-Stac™ Combo Duct Spacers from Thomas & Betts combine the traditional two-piece base and intermediate spacer systems into a single, one-piece unit, simplifying underground duct base installation and reducing installation time in concrete-encased applications. Snap-N-Stac™ Combo Duct Spacers also feature a horizontal locking system and an exclusive vertical locking system that enable the product to be used as either a base or intermediate spacer.

“The Snap-N-Stac™ spacer’s one-piece design makes it easier and faster to install,” said Tony Kolznak, product manager for Thomas & Betts. “Plus, it requires only stocking one part, reducing inventory and material costs. The Carlon® Snap-N-Stac™ Combo Duct Spacer is another example of Thomas & Betts’ continuing efforts to innovate product designs that reduce installed costs for our customers.”

Available in one-way, two-way and three-way configurations, Carlon® Snap-N-Stac™ Combo Duct Spacers can be installed horizontally, vertically or turned upright for unique duct bank configurations. A molded-in rebar holder is available in two- and three-way configurations. One- and three-way configurations are available for two- and four-inch duct, while two-way configurations are available for two-, three-, four-, five- and six-inch duct. A reducer is available to accommodate smaller duct sizes. Spacers will interlock horizontally, regardless of size.

Manufactured from engineered thermoplastic, Snap-N-Stac™ spacers withstand the rigors of concrete construction, and are noncorrosive and nonconductive.
