Plan your order & delivery
Made for your project
CB400-8 is made to order and cannot be returned. Confirm the profile, dimensions, configuration and quantity before purchasing.
Parcel or combined freight
Small components typically ship by parcel; combined orders with columns or posts ship LTL freight.
Delivery address
LTL freight requires a verified commercial address accessible to a 52-foot trailer. A house with a business in it does not qualify. If the carrier classifies the address as residential, a $275 fee is added. A confirmation letter lets you correct the address or pay the extra freight.
How long
The order goes to the Spectis plant in Manitoba the same day. Shipping from Canada typically takes two to three weeks.
Check at delivery
Inspect the shipment on arrival and notify the carrier immediately of damage. Email sales@spectis.us the same day. Report damage within 24 hours for claim qualification.
Check the fit
The model-specific drawing gives a 10⁷⁄₁₆″ overall width, 2¾″ height and an 8¼″ opening for an 8″ shaft. The older catalog rounds the width to 10½″; use the drawing when checking a tight fit.
The drawing shows an open top and bottom, with the bottom unfinished. Confirm the intended orientation and the shaft diameter at the installation point.
Installation & finishing
- Dry-fit the component to the column at its intended location. Check the opening or seat size and orientation before bonding.
- Use PL Premium adhesive (PLP100) on every bedding face and butt joint.
- Follow the manufacturer instructions for fastening, joints and finishing. Paint after installation. Adhesive, finish and additional installation fasteners are sold separately.
