Rugged Utility Junction Enclosures Provide Simple Access to Aboveground Terminations and Offer a Broad Range of Standard Sizes


Hoffman introduces Utility Junction (UJ) Sectionalizing Enclosures, designed to provide aboveground housing for sectionalizing, tapping or terminating underground distribution systems while resisting challenging outdoor conditions.

Anoka, MN-February 20, 2009-Hoffman introduces Utility Junction (UJ) Sectionalizing Enclosures, designed to provide aboveground housing for sectionalizing, tapping or terminating underground distribution systems while resisting challenging outdoor conditions. UJ enclosures are offered in single- and three-phase models. Each of the 15 UJ enclosure models is available in large or small orders with short lead times, providing the convenience of in-stock solutions with the flexibility to meet diverse application needs.

With resilient steel or aluminum construction and a tamper-resistant design, UJ enclosures withstand the toughest environmental abuse to deliver extended operational life and minimize replacement costs. Each UJ enclosure features a self-engaging wind stop that holds the cover in the open position for easy access to terminations. A recessed pentahead latch and interlocked padlock provision ensure the enclosure closes securely. Several available sizes, plus standard 12 gauge steel or .125 aluminum construction or optional stainless steel, combine with Hoffman's extensive modification services to provide a multitude of configuration possibilities.

"For years, Hoffman has answered utility industry requests with robust, built-to-order sectionalizing enclosures," said Rita Bejjani, Hoffman Commercial Product Manager. "The UJ enclosures, now available in a variety of standard sizes, also meet ANSI C57.12.28 Pad-Mounted Equipment Enclosure Integrity industry standards." Bejjani adds, "With a rugged design, local availability and Hoffman's competitive pricing, UJ enclosures provide both immediate and long-term savings."

Applications. UJ enclosures deliver a comprehensive utility industry solution by combining durable construction with flexible design options, offering simple aboveground access to underground distribution system terminations.

In addition, several features of the UJ enclosure make it particularly effective and easy to use:

o Provides single- and three-phase enclosure options
