Eaton Specification Sheet - ECHF26 S516
The 6-inch flexible length with pendant mounting and a 3/4-inch nipple offers adjustable luminaire positioning without specialized tools. This flexibility translates into faster commissioning and easier post-install adjustments, reducing field labor and downtime. In ceiling and drop-ceiling installations in hazardous spaces, technicians gain reliable alignment even when routes change during project scope. 125-pound luminaire rating supports larger hazardous-location luminaires on a single fixture, reducing the need for multiple supports. The higher load capacity improves safety margins and minimizes maintenance calls related to mounting failures in difficult-to-access areas, which is especially valuable in busy industrial facilities where downtime costs are high. Stainless steel construction delivers corrosion resistance and long service life in harsh industrial environments. Combined with explosion-proof design, this fixture support helps meet NEC/CEC requirements while enabling confident maintenance and inspections within formal compliance workflows. Compatibility with the Eaton Crouse-Hinds ECHF series ensures a seamless procurement and installation experience. The standard 3/4-inch nipple and pendant-mount configuration support quick integration with existing luminaire housings and cables, reducing inventory complexity and training needs for maintenance teams. Mounting versatility and robust hardware selections address common objections about hazardous-location fixtures, such as fitment with irregular ceiling geometries or retrofit projects, delivering reliable performance without compromising safety or service intervals.

Route conductors cleanly, attach the luminaire to the 6 inch flexible arm, and verify the alignment after initial energization. The design minimizes field adjustments while meeting NEC/CEC requirements.
Key specs include a 6 inch flexible length, a 3/4 inch nipple size, a pendant mounting type, stainless steel material, and a luminaire rated weight of 125 pounds. The overall product length is 12.5 inches with a 2 inch width and height, supporting robust hazard-zone luminaires in demanding environments while maintaining compliance with NEC/CEC and related standards.
Yes. This model is designed to integrate with the Crouse-Hinds ECHF family, offering consistent mounting interfaces, nipple sizing, and rigid stainless-steel construction. Using the same mounting footprint simplifies procurement, installation training, and spare-part management, reducing project risk during retrofits or new installations.
The ECHF26 S516 carries NEC/CEC standards alignment for hazardous-location use, supported by area-classification coverage (Hazardous/Classified Locations). It is explosion-proof and is documented with Canadian certification resources, including UL-based verification for hazardous locations in Canada, ensuring compliance across cross-border projects.
The ECHF26 S516 reduces installation time through a compact, adjustable 6" arm and standard 3/4" nipple, while improving safety margins with explosion-proof construction. Its stainless steel body resists corrosion in harsh environments, lowering maintenance frequency and total ownership costs, and enabling reliable, code-compliant performance in hazardous facilities.
