Every Component Plays a Part in "The Total Solution"

Stub-EASE II™ Kit(s): Engineered as the total solution — not just a collection of parts. Every component was designed to integrate together, providing a concrete-tight transition from the in-slab raceway to the weather-tight access point at grade level. After the pour, it protects the raceway from environmental exposure and construction debris until the conduit is extended to the device it serves. This was achieved through both material selection and the design features of each part — and how they interact with one another. The thermoplastic rubber or TPR used to produce the Stub-EASE II™ convex cap forms a gasket when pressure-fitted in place, seating into the eased edge of the flanged radius of the PVC Bend-EASE™ collar. It also provides tensile strength to the talons and flexion resistance of the blades against gas-powered placing and finishing equipment.

The real benefit lies in what it doesn't do. From the inception of this product line, the goal has always been the elimination of the conduit stub-up — complete elimination, or nothing. A stub-up that doesn't exist cannot injure workers on the job site, cannot create havoc, cannot generate lawsuits, and cannot destroy the morale of a crew working through a field of land mines. Other products may address the impalement hazard. None deliver free and clear working walking surfaces. That gap is exactly why the first generation wasn't enough — and why Stub-EASE II™ came to fruition.

Conduit Stub-Ups Are Not a Minor Nuisance.
They Are a Documented Liability.

$1.3M+
Single settlement from a conduit trip-and-fall on a high-rise construction site. Jeff Krause, then General Superintendent, witnessed this firsthand at University Center of Chicago (Turner Construction, 2002–2004). That incident launched 20+ years of product development.
$165,514
OSHA fine assessed in a single conduit-related incident. Tripping hazards on working walking surfaces are OSHA 1926.502 violations. The citation is automatic once a worker is injured on an unprotected stub-up.
30–40%
Industry-observed rate of conduit damaged, bent, or destroyed by power-trowel operations during slab finishing. On a 200-stub-up floor, that's 60 to 80 conduits that need to be cut, re-worked, and re-pulled by electricians — at your cost.
"I watched a $1.3 million settlement happen because of a conduit stub-up. I was the General Superintendent. I spent the next 20 years designing a system so no one else has to make that call."
— Jeff Krause, Founder & Director of Manufacturing and Product Development, CSUE Technologies

Nothing Can Keep a Stub-EASE II™ Down.

The power trowel rolls over. The Stub-EASE II™ convex cap — molded with a depressed guide strip to position the extraction spade bit and four talons that project off the top surface — lays flat into the slurry. Two seconds later the talons spring right back up. Conduit path intact. Access point protected. Working walking surface clean. This is the entire product story.

Riverview project active deck — hundreds of unprotected conduit stub-ups, every one a trip, fall, and impalement hazard on the working walking surface
THE PROBLEM

Riverview project. Every white pipe is a trip hazard, a fall hazard, an impalement risk. This is the standard — and it doesn't have to be.

Nothing can keep a
Stub-EASE II™ down.
THE MOMENT

The Stub-EASE II™ cap flexes under the trowel blade and self-rights. The conduit path is intact. The access point is protected. The working walking surface is clean.

South Boulevard Shores — finished concrete slab, 200 planned stub-up locations, zero protrusions visible across the entire deck. Clean working walking surface.
THE RESULT

South Boulevard Shores. 200 stub-up locations. Zero protrusions. The entire floor is a clean, safe working walking surface — every conduit access point flush and protected.

One Step in the Field. Done.

Every Stub-EASE II™ kit ships from the manufacturer with the cap already threaded on. The only prefabrication required is setting the assembly to your exact slab elevation before it reaches the deck. The field crew has one job.

PRE-FAB — BEFORE DECK DELIVERY

Kit Arrives Ready to Screw Down

The manufacturer ships every kit with the Stub-EASE II™ cap already threaded on. The only prefabrication needed is setting the assembly to exact slab elevation — click the Bend-EASE™ elbow into the Stand-EASE™ support at the correct height, or cut the support to the required dimension first if the slab depth is non-standard. That work is done before the kit reaches the deck, where time is critical.

Align. Screw It Down. Walk Away.

Once layout is done on the deck, align the trade-size markings on the Stand-EASE™ pedestal with your deck layout. Fasten in three locations — the back leg is built in for stability. That is it. One step. Walk away and come back for framing.

One Step. Done.
EXTRACTION — WHEN YOU'RE READY TO PULL WIRE

Spade Bit. Impact Driver in Reverse. Done.

Match the spade bit to your trade size. Insert the tip into the engineered guide strip on the cap. Impact driver in reverse — the cap threads itself out in seconds. Clean conduit interior, ready for wire pull, every stub-up, every floor.

Concrete & Formwork

Stub-ups are your problem
even when they're not your scope.

You don't own the conduit. But you catch every back-charge, every FF/FL complaint, and every finisher who has to dance around a field of pipe sticking out of your deck. Stub-EASE II™ kills the protrusion before the pour — and takes the argument with it.

Shop Now
Protect your FF/FL numbers
No protrusions through the slab means your finishers can work a clean surface. No obstacles, no workarounds, no complaints to the GC about the EC.
Kill the back-charge argument
When the stub-up is gone, the argument about who damaged what goes with it. Your crew moves. Your pour goes.
Cleaner working walking surfaces
Cart traffic, plywood runs, and equipment movement happen around a clean deck — not a minefield of conduit stubs nobody agreed to.
Eliminate trip and impalement hazard
Your men don't get to choose which floor they're on. Removing the protrusion eliminates the risk for every crew member before anyone sets foot on the deck.
Stub-EASE II™ preserves conduit access per NEC 300.15(F) / 300.17(F) — no protrusion, no capping workaround, no OSHA exposure.
Electrical Contractors

Stop babysitting conduit
that shouldn't be exposed in the first place.

Every stub-up you leave in an active deck is a bet. Bent by a cart. Buried by concrete overpour. Broken off by a skid steer. When you come back to pick up the run, the access point is gone — and the rework is yours. Stub-EASE II™ protects the path from pour to continuation.

Shop Now
Protected access point
The cap stays flush or below slab. No exposed pipe for other trades to hit. You come back to a clean, extractable sleeve — not a broken stub.
Zero re-pull rework
Conduit damaged during pours means pulling wire a second time through a bent or crushed path. Stub-EASE II™ eliminates that condition before it starts.
Cleaner multi-trade coordination
On shared decks with multiple scopes running, eliminating your protrusions reduces the friction your rough-in creates for every other trade.
Repeatable across floorplates
Same install, same extraction, same result — floor after floor. Impact driver in reverse. Spade bit matched to trade size. That's it.
Stub-EASE II™ is compliant under NEC 300.15(F) / 300.17(F) as a transition fitting between metallic and PVC conduit in concrete construction.
General Contractors

You don't own the conduit.
You own the jobsite.

Stub-ups on your working walking surfaces are your liability whether you installed them or not. They generate back-charges, OSHA citations, and the kind of trade friction that slows down every scope behind it. Stub-EASE II™ removes the condition — and puts the GC on the right side of the safety record.

Shop Now
Cleaner active working surfaces
Multiple trades share the deck. When conduit access is flush instead of exposed, movement, circulation, and handoffs improve across every scope.
OSHA exposure reduced
Protruding conduit on working walking surfaces is a citable 1926.502 condition. Eliminating the protrusion eliminates the citation opportunity.
Fewer back-charge disputes
When there's nothing sticking out of the slab, there's nothing to argue about. Stub-EASE II™ removes one of the most common sources of inter-trade conflict before the pour.
Documentable safety commitment
Specifying Stub-EASE II™ in your subcontracts or safety plan demonstrates proactive hazard elimination — not just mitigation.
Stub-EASE II™ eliminates the conduit stub-up hazard at the source per NEC 300.15(F) / 300.17(F) — before any worker sets foot on the working walking surface.
Engineers & Specifiers

Condition-based selection.
Field-aware design.

Traditional stub-up methods preserve conduit access — but introduce active-surface clutter, trade coordination friction, and documented safety risk that downstream teams are left managing. Stub-EASE II™ provides a specification-ready alternative with a clear selection framework based on installation condition, not convention.

Safety Teams

Stop managing the condition.
Eliminate it.

Protruding conduit stub-ups on working walking surfaces can be capped, painted, and flagged — but the physical hazard remains. Capping is mitigation. Stub-EASE II™ is elimination. The distinction matters when the incident happens anyway.

View Safety Data
Hazard elimination, not marking
A safer jobsite begins with improving the physical condition — not calling attention to it. Stub-EASE II™ removes the protrusion before the pour so there is nothing to mark, flag, or navigate around.
Cleaner paths of travel
Active slabs and decks are shared by multiple trades. Removing protrusions from working walking surfaces means cleaner movement for every crew member on every floor.
OSHA 1926.502 exposure reduced
Protruding conduit on working walking surfaces is a documented, citable condition. OSHA inspection data shows 456 instances across a single project. Stub-EASE II™ eliminates the condition at the source.
Stronger field discipline
When the condition is controlled at the source, safety oversight shifts from repeated workaround management to overall site discipline — a measurable improvement in field culture.
Stub-EASE II™ is designed to eliminate conduit stub-up hazards per NEC 300.15(F) / 300.17(F) — the same standard that governs transition fittings in concrete construction.
