Frequently asked questions
Common questions about XTRAWALL from 3G Electric.
What are the standard sizes available for XTRAWALL pegboard swing panels?
XTRAWALL pegboard swing panels are offered in several sizes, including 48 in x 24 in, 48 in x 48 in, and 72 in x 48 in. All panels have a thickness of 1 1/2 inches. The size designation reflects the panel dimensions in inches (width x height). For example, the 48 in x 24 in model provides a smaller footprint suitable for limited wall space, while the 72 in x 48 in model offers a larger surface area for extensive tool storage. Each size is available with round 1/4-inch peg holes. When selecting a size, consider the available wall area and the quantity of tools or parts to be stored. Mounting hardware or wall brackets are included with most SKUs, but verify the specific model's included components before installation.
What materials are used in XTRAWALL swing panels and what are the differences?
XTRAWALL swing panels are constructed with a steel frame and either high-density fiberboard (HDF) or polypropylene backing. The steel/HDF models (e.g., SKU 38P115, 38P116, 38P117) use HDF as the core material, which provides a solid, rigid surface for pegboard hooks. The steel/polypropylene model (SKU 38P190) uses polypropylene, a thermoplastic polymer that is lighter in weight and resistant to moisture. Both variants feature a powder-coated finish: brown for HDF models and white for the polypropylene model. The choice between HDF and polypropylene depends on the environment and load requirements. HDF is suitable for dry indoor settings and offers high strength. Polypropylene is preferable in areas with humidity or where reduced weight is beneficial. Both materials accept standard 1/4-inch pegboard accessories.
Are mounting brackets included with XTRAWALL pegboard swing panels?
Mounting hardware inclusion varies by SKU. Some models, such as SKU 38P115 and SKU 38P117, include wall brackets. Other models, like SKU 38P116 and SKU 38P190, include mounting hardware. The specific components included are listed in the product specifications. Before ordering, confirm the included items to ensure proper installation. Wall brackets are typically used to attach the swing panel to a wall or vertical surface, allowing the panel to swing out. Mounting hardware may include screws, anchors, or other fasteners. If a model does not include the required hardware for your wall type, additional fasteners may be needed. Consult the product documentation or contact 3G Electric for clarification on included parts for each SKU.
What is the purpose of a swing panel compared to a fixed pegboard?
A swing panel is mounted on a hinge or pivot mechanism, allowing it to swing away from the wall. This provides access to both the front and back surfaces of the panel, effectively doubling the storage area in the same wall footprint. Fixed pegboards only offer one usable side. Swing panels are beneficial in narrow spaces where wall area is limited but storage needs are high. They can be swung out to retrieve or place items and then pushed back flat against the wall when not in use. XTRAWALL swing panels are designed for this purpose, with wall brackets or mounting hardware that enable the swinging action. The 1 1/2-inch thickness accommodates the hinge mechanism and provides rigidity. This design is common in tool cribs, maintenance shops, and assembly areas where space efficiency is important.
What types of hooks and accessories fit XTRAWALL round-hole pegboard panels?
XTRAWALL round-hole pegboard panels feature 1/4-inch diameter holes, which are a standard size for pegboard accessories. This allows the use of a wide range of commercially available pegboard hooks, bins, holders, and brackets designed for 1/4-inch peg holes. Common accessories include single-prong hooks, double-prong hooks, loop hooks, ring hooks, and bin clips. The spacing of the holes follows standard pegboard patterns, typically 1 inch on center, ensuring compatibility with most pegboard organizers. When selecting accessories, verify that the hook or holder is rated for the weight of the item to be stored. The steel/HDF or steel/polypropylene backing provides a secure anchor for the accessories. No proprietary accessories are required; standard pegboard fittings can be used.
