Overview


Watertite pendant stations are rugged enough to withstand the most hostile industrial environments, yet ergonomically designed to fit an operator’s hand. Unlimited combinations allow the customizations of 2-, 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-button pendant stations. Choose from single- to three-speed switches, E-stop switches, key switches, and indicator lights. The lightweight housing is impact resistant and rated to NEMA 4X.

Super-Safeway pushbutton pendant stations feature NEōTEX rubber construction to protect buttons from industrial elements. They support a number of applications with momentary switches for single-speed or two-speed needs, while maintained switches can be purchased as an accessory or replacement part. Single-speed uses are extended with the emergency-stop option, and the switches can be wired as an electrical interlock. All Super-Safeway push-button pendants include a legend-plate package, compression-type cord grips, wire retainer at the screw terminals, and metal bracket for messenger cord. Wire-mesh grips for added strain relief are ordered separately.

Weather-resistant pushbutton covers transform your F.S./F.D. box into a pendant station. Constructed of NEōTEX rubber, the cover includes integral push buttons that can be wired normally-open or normally-closed. Flat-green and rounded-red button inserts aid in proper operation. Switches are single- or two-speed momentary-contact type and the single-speed switches can be wired with electrical interlock.
