QUAZITE
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about QUAZITE from 3G Electric.
What material is used in QUAZITE underground electrical enclosures?
QUAZITE enclosures are made from monolithic polymer concrete, a composite material consisting of polymer resins and mineral aggregates. This construction provides a non-porous, corrosion-resistant structure that is lighter than traditional precast concrete. The material is formulated to withstand underground environmental conditions, including moisture, soil chemicals, and temperature variations. It does not rust, rot, or spall, and offers electrical insulation properties suitable for buried electrical components.
Are QUAZITE enclosure assemblies supplied with covers?
Yes, the QUAZITE underground enclosure assemblies listed by 3G Electric include a cover as part of the assembly. For example, SKU 4FEJ1 (MPN PG1730Z80917) includes a cover with an 'Electric' logo. The cover is made from the same polymer concrete material and is designed to fit the enclosure body securely. Separate covers are also available for existing enclosures, such as SKU 4AWX9 (MPN PG1118HH0017), which is intended for enclosures with an opening size of 20 1/4 in x 13 3/8 in.
What are the usable interior dimensions of QUAZITE enclosures available from 3G Electric?
3G Electric stocks QUAZITE enclosures with a range of usable interior dimensions. For example, SKU 4FEH1 has a usable interior of 28 1/2 in x 15 1/2 in x 16 in, while SKU 4FEP1 measures 33 7/8 in x 22 1/4 in x 27 in. Other sizes include 28 1/2 in x 15 1/2 in x 22 in (SKU 4FEJ1) and 33 7/8 in x 22 1/4 in x 21 in (SKU 4FEN1). All listed assemblies have an open bottom design for cable entry.
Do QUAZITE enclosures have an open or closed bottom?
The QUAZITE underground enclosure assemblies supplied by 3G Electric feature an open bottom style. This design allows for direct cable entry from below, facilitating connections to underground conduits or direct burial cables. The open bottom also enables the enclosure to be placed over existing cable runs or to be used in applications where bottom entry is preferred. The enclosures are intended for use with a suitable base or backfill material.
What logo is featured on QUAZITE enclosure covers?
QUAZITE enclosure covers supplied by 3G Electric are marked with an 'Electric' logo. This is visible on the cover surface for identification purposes. The logo helps distinguish the enclosure as an electrical access point, which can be useful for utility marking and safety. The cover material is polymer concrete, matching the enclosure body, and is designed to be flush with the surrounding grade when installed.
Can QUAZITE covers be ordered separately for existing enclosures?
Yes, 3G Electric offers QUAZITE covers as separate line items. For instance, SKU 4AWX9 is a cover for enclosures with an opening size of 20 1/4 in x 13 3/8 in, and SKU 4AXA6 is for enclosures with an opening of 32 1/4 in x 19 1/4 in. These covers are made from polymer concrete and feature the 'Electric' logo. They are designed to fit QUAZITE enclosures of corresponding dimensions, allowing replacement or retrofitting of existing installations.
