ASI GLOBAL PARTITIONS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ASI GLOBAL PARTITIONS from 3G Electric.
What materials are available in ASI Global Partitions panels and pilasters?
ASI Global Partitions offers panels and pilasters in phenolic core, solid plastic polymer, plastic laminate, baked enamel steel, and stainless steel. Phenolic panels use a resin-impregnated kraft paper core and are typically specified where moisture resistance is important. Solid plastic polymer pilasters have a non-porous surface and are often used in high-traffic or heavy-cleaning environments. Plastic laminate and baked enamel steel are common in standard commercial restrooms, while stainless steel is selected for durability and a specific aesthetic. Each material has compatible headrail and hardware options, so material selection should be confirmed against the existing partition system before ordering replacement parts.
How do I choose the correct headrail for my ASI Global Partitions system?
Headrail selection depends on the partition material and the required length. ASI Global Partitions aluminum headrails are configured for plastic laminate, phenolic, solid plastic polymer, or stainless steel partitions. For example, a headrail for plastic laminate may be 65 inches long with a 1-3/4 inch by 1-3/8 inch profile, while a headrail for solid plastic polymer can be 98 inches long with the same profile. Headrail returns are used to finish the end of a top rail and are material-specific. Check the existing headrail's length, profile, and mounting hole pattern, and confirm the compatible partition material before ordering. Hardware such as stainless steel screws and plastic shields may be included with some headrail assemblies.
What are the dimensions of ASI Global Partitions pilasters?
ASI Global Partitions pilasters are structural columns for commercial bathroom partitions. A representative solid plastic polymer pilaster measures 82 inches in height, 6 inches in width, and 1 inch in thickness, with a black pebble finish. Pilaster dimensions can vary by partition system and material, so the height, width, and thickness should be verified against the specific assembly. Pilasters carry the load of the panels and headrail, so matching the original profile and mounting provisions is important for structural integrity. When replacing a pilaster, confirm the panel thickness it must accept and the hardware type used at the floor and headrail connections.
Are ASI Global Partitions phenolic panels suitable for high-moisture restrooms?
Phenolic panels from ASI Global Partitions use a resin-impregnated kraft paper core, which is a construction that resists moisture absorption. This makes them a common choice for restrooms with frequent cleaning, high humidity, or occasional water contact. A representative panel measures 58 inches in height, 58 inches in width, and 1/2 inch thick, with a Silver Gray matte finish. While phenolic is moisture-resistant, it is not intended for continuous immersion or direct water spray. For applications with aggressive chemicals or constant wetting, confirm the cleaning agents and exposure conditions with the manufacturer's published chemical resistance data. Panel edges and mounting holes should be sealed or protected as specified to maintain performance.
What hardware is included with ASI Global Partitions headrails?
Hardware inclusion varies by headrail model. Some ASI Global Partitions headrails ship with stainless steel screw packs, such as two #10x5/8 stainless steel T-2 screws, while others include plastic shields, such as two 14/16 inch by 1-1/2 inch shields. The hardware is intended for attaching the headrail to the partition panels or pilasters. Because different partition materials require different fastening methods, the included hardware is matched to the headrail's compatible partition material. If you are replacing a headrail, check whether the existing mounting holes align with the new headrail's hole pattern and whether additional anchors are needed for the wall or pilaster connection.
Can ASI Global Partitions components be used to repair an existing partition system?
Yes, ASI Global Partitions components are commonly used for repair and replacement of existing partition systems. Pilasters, panels, headrails, and headrail returns are available as individual parts. To ensure fit, match the material, finish, and dimensions of the original components. For example, a headrail return for a stainless steel partition is not interchangeable with one for a baked enamel steel partition. Panel thickness, mounting hole locations, and pilaster profiles must also align. When exact original part numbers are not available, compare the measured dimensions and material compatibility listed for each component. 3G Electric lists these specifications to help buyers verify fit before ordering.
