Lh Dottie CH1212 Jack Chain Size 12 Zinc Plated 100 Ft

Product Description

The LH DOTTIE CH1212 is a Number 12 single jack chain made from steel with a zinc plated finish, sold in a 100-foot length. Jack chain is a lightweight, double-loop chain designed for suspension applications where load ratings are moderate and a clean, consistent appearance is required. The CH1212 carries a working load of 29 pounds and a breaking load of 170 pounds. Wire diameter is 0.105 inches, corresponding to 12 gauge wire. The zinc plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light commercial environments. Electricians, lighting contractors, and mechanical trades use this chain to suspend fixtures, signs, and lightweight equipment from overhead structures.

This jack chain is suited for residential and light commercial applications where fixtures need to be hung at a fixed or adjustable drop distance. Common install scenarios include suspending fluorescent and LED light fixtures, exit signs, ductwork supports, display signage, and similar overhead loads. The 100-foot coil allows the installer to cut custom drop lengths on the job. It is a standard item in electrical and mechanical supply for any trade that regularly hangs fixtures from ceiling structure.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or mechanical contractor working from a ladder or lift. Always verify that the anchor point, fixture, and all hardware are rated to handle the combined load before suspending any equipment. Cut chain links cleanly using chain cutters or bolt cutters to avoid deformed links that could reduce load capacity. Do not exceed the published working load of 29 pounds per strand; use heavier-rated chain or multiple runs for loads approaching or exceeding this limit.
