Eaton Specification Sheet - ECHF26
ECHF26 offers a 6-inch flexible length and pendant mounting that lets technicians position luminaires precisely around obstacles and ductwork. This flexibility reduces field rework, shortens commissioning timelines, and improves overall alignment in overhead installations where space is tight. In practice, contractors appreciate the ability to route illumination fixtures without sacrificing safety or visual alignment in hazardous zones. Brass construction provides rugged durability and corrosion resistance, supporting longer service life in challenging environments. The 125 lb luminaire weight rating ensures confidence when suspending heavier units, while the robust stem and bracket design withstand vibration and impact during maintenance, reducing replacement parts and service calls. The overall dimensions—12.5 inches in length with a compact 2x2 inch profile and a 3/4-inch nipple—facilitate compatibility with standard fittings and space-constrained ceilings, aiding quicker retrofits. NEC/CEC conformance and Hazardous/Classified area classifications, including Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III ratings, provide regulatory assurance for critical facilities. Installation documentation and technical support, including IF 556 instruction sheets and the ECHF26 specification sheet, streamline mounting, wiring, and testing, improving procurement efficiency and consistency across sites.
