The IBT system allows enclosures,
junction boxes, lighting outlets and
other installation components to be fixed
into the formwork into which the liquid
concrete will be poured.
without the need for special grommets.
Conventional housings do not have such a
seal, so if used in a precast panel, a sealing
arrangement would have to be fitted insitu, a difficult and costly process.
They are secured in place either by
magnetic couplings for metal formwork,
or by patented support spars for timber
formwork. Conduit is fitted as required
to accommodate the wiring and then
the concrete is poured in. Once set, the
formwork is removed and the panels are
ready for shipment to site.
The IBT products are made from
halogen-free, high-temperature
resistant material which is
designed for a long, trouble-free
life. The range available in a wide
range of sizes. With more and
more projects now requiring extra
low voltage (ELV) transformers
for LED lighting, loudspeakers and
network communications cables,
Spelsberg has also developed the
complementary IBTronic range.
A key element of the IBT system is the
integral sealing, which prevents concrete
fines from getting inside the electrical
components. This uses a patented
diaphragm system which, after the conduit
is inserted, returns to its original position
and provides strain relief and sealing
The IBT system has already been used in a
wide range of buildings including prisons,
schools, hotels, offices and residential
buildings.
It is now increasingly recognised for its
potential to reduce installation time and
save overall build costs.
“Space for you”
Spelsberg’s company philosophy is based
around the idea of providing flexibility
and freedom to its customers. The space
provided within each junction box; the
large distribution and warehousing space;
and the freedom to customise
almost any product,
irrespective of
quantity, all
equates to
“Space for
you”.
