Description
GSPF Wheel Spacers are wheel-shaped polymer spacers for vertical reinforcement, such as the bars in columns and walls. A locking hub at the centre fixes the spacer to the bar, and the open spokes leave room for concrete to flow around the reinforcement.
Because only a small part of the wheel touches the formwork, the spacer causes less friction and marking on the finished face, which matters on precast elements where the surface is visible.
Key Features and Benefits
Locking hub
The hub holds the spacer in position on the bar while the steel is placed and the concrete is poured.
Open spokes
The open construction lets concrete move freely around the reinforcement, which helps the bar to be fully encapsulated.
Minimal formwork contact
A small contact surface reduces friction and marking and supports a cleaner formwork finish.
Cover and bar range
Cover sizes run from 20 mm to 75 mm. The 20 to 60 mm covers are listed for 6 to 18 mm bars, and the 75 mm cover for 6 to 20 mm bars.
Applications and Use Cases
Wheel Spacers are used for:
- Vertical precast concrete elements
- Columns, walls and structural cores
- Reinforcement cages that need stable vertical spacing
- High-finish architectural precast components
- In-situ concrete works that need minimal formwork contact
- Projects with strict quality requirements for cover

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Wheel Spacers for horizontal or vertical reinforcement?
They are made for vertical reinforcement. GSPF makes clip spacers for horizontal reinforcement.
Why is the wheel open-spoked?
The open spokes let concrete flow around the reinforcement during placement, instead of blocking it.
Which bar sizes does the 75 mm cover take?
The 75 mm cover is listed for 6 to 20 mm bars. The 20 to 60 mm covers are listed for 6 to 18 mm bars.
