Installation & Design Advantages
Space-Efficient Marina Solution
The compact 6" x 6" footprint maximizes dock space utilization while providing essential electrical services. The 21-inch height ensures convenient access for boaters while maintaining a low profile that doesn't obstruct marina traffic or views. This space-efficient design is particularly valuable in high-density marina environments where every square foot matters.
Versatile Mounting Options
Included round and flat mounting brackets accommodate various dock configurations, from traditional fixed docks to floating dock systems. The pedestal can be mounted on piles, dock surfaces, or custom pedestals, providing marina designers with maximum flexibility in electrical infrastructure layout.
Professional Electrical Standards
- Code Compliance: Meets NEC and marina electrical code requirements for safe shore power distribution
- GFCI Protection: Ground fault protection on 20-amp outlet ensures user safety in wet environments
- Circuit Isolation: Individual breakers prevent power issues from affecting multiple circuits
- High-Capacity Feed: 2/0 wire capacity supports high-amperage main distribution requirements
Marine Safety & Protection Systems
Electrical Safety Features
Safety takes priority in marina environments, and the SPC-21-2T-326 incorporates multiple protection systems to ensure user safety and equipment longevity. The integrated GFCI protection on the 20-amp duplex outlet provides critical ground fault protection, while individual circuit breakers prevent overcurrent conditions from affecting the entire electrical system.
Environmental Protection
Marine environments demand exceptional weather resistance, delivered through Hubbell thermoplastic receptacle covers that seal against moisture intrusion. The cone-top design naturally sheds water, while the powder-coated finish provides long-term protection against UV degradation and saltwater corrosion.
Corrosion Prevention
- Aluminum Construction: Marine-grade aluminum naturally resists corrosion without sacrificing strength
- Stainless Fasteners: All mounting hardware uses stainless steel to prevent rust and galvanic corrosion
- Nylon Washers: Isolate dissimilar metals to prevent galvanic reactions
- Sealed Connections: Weather-resistant electrical connections prevent moisture-related failures
Integrated Dock Lighting System
Automatic Fluorescent Lighting
The built-in PL-9 fluorescent light with photocell control provides automatic dock illumination, enhancing safety and security during nighttime operations. The photocell automatically activates the light at dusk and turns it off at dawn, providing consistent dock lighting without manual intervention or timer programming.
Energy-Efficient Operation
Compact fluorescent technology provides bright, even illumination while minimizing power consumption. This energy-efficient lighting solution reduces operating costs while ensuring adequate visibility for safe boat handling during evening and early morning hours.
