What are Hochiki call point casings and elements made from?

Hochiki HCP-E(SCI) and HCP-EM(SCI) call points have a modified polyphenylene oxide casing and a non-frangible element as standard, with a glass element available as an option.

Direct answer

Hochiki addressable call points use a modified polyphenylene oxide casing. The HCP-EM(SCI) marine call point shares the same housing material as the standard indoor HCP-E(SCI) and is rated IP24; the intrinsically safe CCP-E-IS is also modified polyphenylene oxide. The HCP-EM(SCI) is supplied with a non-frangible (resettable) element as standard, with a glass element available as an option. The MCP1A marine conventional call point is made from PC/ABS and is rated IP24D.
