What is the difference between polycarbonate and acrylic?

Polycarbonate offers 250 times the impact strength of glass and 30 times stronger than acrylic, making it virtually unbreakable for safety applications. Acrylic provides superior optical clarity and costs 30-40% less than polycarbonate but is more brittle. Choose polycarbonate when impact resistance is critical; select acrylic when clarity and weather resistance matter most.

Which plastics are FDA compliant for food contact applications?

FDA-compliant plastics meeting 21 CFR 177 regulations include natural UHMW polyethylene, white acetal copolymer, FDA-grade HDPE, polypropylene, clear polycarbonate, and acrylic. Port Plastics provides material certification documentation confirming FDA compliance with every shipment.

What temperature can PEEK plastic withstand?

PEEK maintains continuous service at temperatures up to 480°F (250°C) and can withstand short-term excursions to 570°F (300°C) without degradation. PEEK retains 90% of its room-temperature tensile strength at 300°F and performs in extreme cold to -40°F without becoming brittle.

Do you offer same-day delivery?

Same-day delivery is available for in-stock materials ordered before noon local time within our standard delivery radius. Each of our 11 facilities maintains inventory of commonly specified materials. Contact your local Port Plastics branch for specific delivery timelines.

What are Port Plastics duct bank spacers?

They are modular pieces made from recycled HDPE that support and align underground conduits at consistent intervals, especially during concrete encasement.

Why use HDPE duct bank spacers instead of metal?

HDPE is resilient and flexible during the concrete pour, resists corrosion, handles extreme temperatures, is lighter, and is more cost-effective than metal alternatives.

Where are these duct bank spacers made?

Our HDPE spacers are manufactured locally in Phoenix, Arizona, which reduces lead times and freight costs, while still enabling nationwide shipping.

How do I request a quote for duct bank spacers?

Provide us with details like material thickness, conduit size/orientation, features (like rebar holes), and quantity. Then contact our Phoenix team at 480-813-6118 or email ductspacers@portplastics.com.

Duct Bank Spacers

Key Features and Benefits

Our HDPE duct bank spacers deliver superior performance with sustainable materials and local manufacturing

Recycled-HDPE Construction

Made from re-processed HDPE, providing strength, flexibility during pours, and resistance to kinking or deformation.

Manufactured in Phoenix

Local manufacturing in Phoenix enables short lead times and lower freight costs, helping keep your project on schedule.

Heavy-Duty Performance

Ribbed design supports large duct banks, resists vertical loads, and stays stable during compaction.

Corrosion & Weather Resistance

HDPE resists corrosion, moisture, and temperature extremes better than metal spacers.

Customization Available

Specify wall thickness, conduit hole size, configuration pattern, or stacking options.

Cost Advantage

Compared to metal alternatives, our HDPE spacers offer durable performance at a lower cost.

Why Port Plastics Duct Bank Spacers?

Modern utility, telecommunications, and data center projects rely on precise underground conduit layouts. Our duct bank spacers ensure that conduits stay level, properly spaced, and free of misalignment or gaps — preventing moisture intrusion, concrete creep, and mechanical stress.

Designed and manufactured in Phoenix using recycled HDPE, our spacers offer strength, resiliency, and sustainability. Local production means fast lead times, and nationwide shipping ensures your project stays on track.

Typical Applications

Utility Infrastructure

Maintain conduit spacing & reduce electromagnetic interference.

Telecommunications & Data Centers

Ideal for fiber-optic paths, 5G systems, and high-density cabling.

Transportation

Highways, railways, and airports rely on robust duct systems for underground cabling.

Renewable Energy

Solar farms and wind installations require durable, weather-resistant spacers for their underground conduit networks.
