Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FAZTEK from 3G Electric.
What is the thread size on FAZTEK pivot leveling feet?
FAZTEK pivot leveling feet, such as the Deluxe Leveling Foot (MPN 13FF8117), feature a 1/4"-20 thread size. This is a standard UNC thread, commonly used in industrial framing systems. The foot is adjustable, allowing for height compensation on uneven floors. It has a zinc-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance and is designed for drop-in mounting on single extrusion profiles. Fasteners are not included, so you will need to source the appropriate T-nuts or bolts separately. The foot measures 1 in x 1 in x 1 15/16 in, making it compact for use in tight spaces. When ordering, verify the profile slot size to ensure compatibility.
What are the dimensions of FAZTEK clear plastic door add-on kits?
FAZTEK clear plastic door add-on kits are available in several standard sizes. Common dimensions include 84 inches high by 37 1/2 inches wide by 5 1/2 inches deep, and 72 inches high by 37 1/2 inches wide by 5 1/2 inches deep. These kits are designed for T-slot framing systems and include a solid polycarbonate panel for visibility and impact resistance. The frames come in finishes such as yellow powder-coated, gray anodized, or black anodized. Swing direction can be left or right, depending on the model. The kits are shipped unassembled, allowing for customization during installation. Ensure the framing structure is prepared to accept the door hinges and latches, which may be sold separately.
What material is used for the panels in FAZTEK door kits?
FAZTEK door add-on kits use solid polycarbonate panels. Polycarbonate is chosen for its high impact resistance and optical clarity, making it suitable for machine guarding applications where visibility of the process is required. It is lighter than glass and less prone to breakage. The panels are clear, providing an unobstructed view. The frame around the panel is made of aluminum extrusion with finishes such as anodized gray, black anodized, or yellow powder-coated. The combination of aluminum frame and polycarbonate panel results in a durable door that can withstand industrial environments. Note that polycarbonate can be affected by certain chemicals and cleaning agents; consult compatibility guidelines for specific applications.
Are FAZTEK T-slot framing components compatible with other brands?
FAZTEK T-slot framing components are designed to be compatible with standard T-slot aluminum extrusion systems. The profiles typically have a central slot that accepts standard T-nuts and fasteners. However, compatibility with other brands depends on the specific profile series and slot dimensions. It is important to verify the slot width and profile geometry when mixing brands. FAZTEK offers a range of connectors and T-nuts that are engineered for their profiles. For critical applications, using FAZTEK components throughout ensures proper fit and load capacity. 3G Electric can provide dimensional data for FAZTEK profiles to help determine interchangeability with existing structures.
What finishes are available for FAZTEK framing profiles and accessories?
FAZTEK framing profiles and accessories are available in several finishes. Aluminum profiles commonly come with a clear anodized finish, which provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. Some components, such as door frames, are available in black anodized or gray anodized finishes. Powder-coated finishes are also offered, including yellow, which is often used for safety guarding to increase visibility. Steel components, like leveling feet, are zinc-plated for corrosion protection. The finish selection depends on the application; for example, yellow powder-coated frames are typical in machine guarding, while anodized finishes are used in cleanroom or electronic assembly environments. All finishes are applied to standard manufacturing specifications.
How do I select the right FAZTEK door kit for my enclosure?
To select a FAZTEK door kit, first determine the opening dimensions of your enclosure. Door kits are sized by height and width, such as 84 in H x 37 1/2 in W or 72 in H x 37 1/2 in W. Next, choose the swing direction (left or right) based on the layout and access requirements. Consider the frame finish: yellow powder-coated for high visibility, or anodized gray/black for a more neutral look. The panel material is clear polycarbonate for visibility. Ensure the framing structure has provisions for mounting hinges and latches; these may be separate items. The kits are unassembled, so allow time for assembly. For assistance, 3G Electric can provide product specifications and dimensional drawings.
