Handhole Enclosure

[tom baker]

Need a recommendation on a good quality, non metallic, handhole enclosure, Tier 15 traffic rated, about 17 x 24 x 18 deep. We have looked at the Quazite (Hubble) but its about $370.
Typically we use a state plan concrete handhole, but they are heavy and have a metal lid/frame, want non metallic.

Thanks

this site unfortuanely doesnt give a specific 'non metalic' cover for traffic, however it should at least point you in the right direction.

Try Synertech underground enclosures, they claim 20,000 lb traffic rating. http://www.synertechproducts.com/. Another big manufacturer is Armorcast, which is out of California. http://www.armorcastprod.com/products_boxes.htm Check to see if those manufacturers are NEC compliant. I'd like to know how their prices compare to Quartzite. I am working on a project where they may install a number of these types of units.

The Quazite boxes are about $375 each in a 18" deep, 24 x 36.
We looked at some by Christy, have used those and didn't like. A common box locally is a concrete type with metal lid, but very heavy. We'll look at the Armorcast, thanks
