Abstract: We close a gap in previous studies of nonsupersymmetric calN=0 quiver gauge theories from a phenomenological point of view aimed at acquiring specific proposals for models beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Because SU(3) is the gauge group of QCD we fix N=3 and vary only the Zp abelian orbifold. The values 1leqpleq7 have been previously fully discussed as well as one special case, discovered by happenstance, of p=12. The values p=8 and p=9 are discussed comprehensively in the present paper including the electroweak mixing angle, gauge coupling unification, spontaneous symmetry breakdown to the standard model, and the occurrence of three quark-lepton families. Two promising quiver node identifications are discovered for p=8 and three for p=9. All of these merit further study as BSM candidates.
