IPEX BS5545 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the IPEX BS5545 Vertical-Lok base spacer actually do in a duct bank?
The BS5545 is the bottom-layer spacer in an IPEX Super Duct underground duct bank. It sets and holds the horizontal and vertical position of the first row of ducts in the trench, and carries the rows stacked above it, so the whole bank keeps consistent spacing and alignment through concrete encasement or backfill. It replaces field-fabricated wood or rebar supports.
2) What duct size does the BS5545 spacer accept?
It is a 4-inch x 3-inch configuration, sized to accept Super Duct conduit runs of matching dimensions. If your bank is built from a different duct trade size, you need the matching spacer from the Vertical-Lok family instead, not this one.
3) Will the BS5545 work with PVC conduit from another manufacturer?
The BS5545 is purpose-built for the IPEX Super Duct line, and the Vertical-Lok geometry locks to those duct profiles. Fit with another brand's duct is not something IPEX states, so for a mixed-brand bank the safe route is to spec the spacer from the same manufacturer as the duct.
4) Do I need base spacers and intermediate spacers, or just one type?
A multi-layer bank needs both. The BS5545 is the base unit that sits in the trench bottom and starts the stack; additional Vertical-Lok spacers in the same family go between the upper duct rows. Order the base spacer by the count of bank positions along the run, then add the intermediate spacers for each layer above.
5) What is the correct IPEX part number to order for a 4x3 Super Duct base spacer?
Order IPEX BS5545. That is the manufacturer part number for the 4-inch x 3-inch Vertical-Lok base spacer, and it is a single-model item with no finish or material options to specify.
6) Can these spacers be used on telecom and utility conduit banks, not just power?
Yes. The Vertical-Lok base spacer is used for underground electrical duct banks, telecommunications and utility conduit runs, and general multi-duct trench assembly on new construction and infrastructure work. The spacer does not care what is pulled through the duct, only that the duct matches the 4-inch x 3-inch configuration.
7) Is the BS5545 meant to stay in place after the concrete pour?
Yes, it stays. The spacer is set in the trench to position the ducts and is left in the bank, holding alignment while concrete is placed around the assembly or the trench is backfilled. It is not a temporary jig you pull back out.
