NOVATEK
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about NOVATEK from 3G Electric.
What is the airflow range of NOVATEK negative air machines?
NOVATEK negative air machines in the 3G Electric catalog include models rated at 1,000 cfm and 2,000 cfm maximum airflow. The 1,000 cfm units include the G1000V, G1007B, and G1007BV, which operate on 115V AC and ship with an air filter. The G2100S is listed with a maximum airflow of 2,000 cfm. Airflow rating is a primary selection criterion because it determines how quickly a given containment volume can be turned over under negative pressure. Buyers should match the machine's cfm rating to the volume of the work area and the filtration goal.
Which NOVATEK flexible duct kits are compatible with the G1007B negative air machine?
The NOVATEK intake kit with manufacturer part number D1050 is a 50-foot flexible vinyl duct compatible with part number 53XW87 and manufacturer model number G1007B. The D1025 intake kit, a 25-foot vinyl duct, is also listed as compatible with part number 53XW87. Both are identified as intake kits for negative air machines. Compatibility is specified by manufacturer part number and model number, so buyers should verify the machine's model and part number before ordering. The duct material is vinyl, and the overall length is the primary difference between the two kits.
What is the difference between a NOVATEK intake kit and a flexible duct?
In the NOVATEK line, an intake kit is a flexible duct packaged for use as an intake connection, often with a carrying case, and is cross-referenced to specific machine models and part numbers. A flexible duct, such as the D1225, is listed as a vinyl duct for negative air machines with a defined inside diameter and overall length. The D1225 has a 25-foot overall length and a 12-inch inside diameter and is compatible with model G2110. Both product types serve to channel air, but the intake kit designation typically indicates a bundled accessory with specific machine compatibility, while the flexible duct listing emphasizes dimensions and material.
What power supply do NOVATEK negative air machines require?
The NOVATEK negative air machines listed in the 3G Electric catalog operate on 115V AC. This includes the G1000V, G1007B, and G1007BV, all rated at 1,000 cfm. The 115V AC requirement is a standard specification for portable air scrubbers in this class and affects circuit planning on job sites. Buyers should confirm that the available power source matches the machine's voltage and that circuit capacity is adequate for the unit's amperage draw, which is not listed in the provided specifications. For the 2,000 cfm G2100S, voltage is not specified in the catalog data, so verification with the manufacturer's documentation is recommended.
Are NOVATEK negative air machines supplied with filters?
Yes. The NOVATEK negative air machines listed by 3G Electric, including the G1000V, G1007B, G1007BV, and G2100S, are specified as including an air filter. The filter is part of the initial machine configuration, so a separate filter purchase is not required to operate the unit as delivered. Replacement filters are available as OEM parts through the 3G Electric catalog. Filter selection and replacement intervals depend on the particulate load in the application, and buyers should refer to the machine's documentation for filtration efficiency ratings and change-out criteria.
What duct lengths and diameters are available for NOVATEK negative air machines?
NOVATEK flexible duct and intake kits in the 3G Electric catalog are available in 25-foot and 50-foot overall lengths. The D1025 is a 25-foot vinyl intake kit, the D1050 is a 50-foot vinyl intake kit, and the D1225 is a 25-foot vinyl flexible duct with a 12-inch inside diameter. The D1250 is a flexible vinyl duct intake kit that includes a carrying case and is compatible with model G2100. Diameter and length must be matched to the machine's duct connection and the required duct run. Longer runs can affect static pressure and airflow, so buyers should account for duct length when specifying a machine and duct combination.
