Product Overview
For dome camera installations in coastal, marine, or chemically demanding environments, the AXIS TQ3106-SE Pendant Kit delivers a purpose-built mounting solution in marine-grade electropolished stainless steel. Manufactured from SUS 316L stainless steel, this pendant kit is engineered to resist corrosion in saltwater-exposed locations and withstand contact with most industrial chemicals, making it a practical choice where standard mounting hardware would deteriorate prematurely. Featuring a 1.5-inch NPS thread, it is designed to suit selected Axis dome cameras requiring pendant-style suspension from ceilings or overhead structures. It also serves as the confirmed replacement for the legacy AXIS T94U01D Pendant Kit, allowing straightforward substitution in existing or new installations. This makes it well suited to food processing facilities, waterfront structures, wastewater plants, and any outdoor site where long-term hardware integrity in a corrosive setting is a priority.
Key Capabilities
Marine-Grade SUS 316L Stainless Steel
316L is a low-carbon, molybdenum-alloyed steel grade that provides significantly greater resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion than standard 304-grade steel. This makes the TQ3106-SE pendant kit suitable for sustained use in saltwater-adjacent and humid coastal environments.
Electropolished Surface Finish
Electropolishing removes surface imperfections and contaminants at a microscopic level, creating a smoother, more uniform surface that resists bacterial adhesion and further enhances corrosion resistance beyond the base properties of the 316L alloy alone.
Chemical Resistance
Designed to resist most industrial chemicals, this pendant kit maintains structural and aesthetic integrity in environments such as food production lines, cleaning chemical storage areas, and processing facilities where cleaning agents or airborne compounds are regularly present.
Confirmed Replacement for AXIS T94U01D
The TQ3106-SE directly succeeds the legacy AXIS T94U01D Pendant Kit. Installers with existing specifications referencing the T94U01D can substitute this model without redesigning the mount configuration, simplifying procurement and documentation for upgrade projects.
Best For
- Coastal and Marine Sites: The SUS 316L stainless steel construction resists salt-laden air and moisture that would corrode standard mounting hardware, making this pendant kit a durable choice for jetties, waterfront buildings, and harbour facilities.
- Chemical and Industrial Environments: Resistance to most industrial chemicals makes this kit appropriate for food processing, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing facilities where aggressive cleaning or airborne chemical exposure is routine.
- Pendant-Mounted Axis Dome Camera Installations: The 1.5-inch NPS thread is sized specifically for pendant suspension of selected Axis dome cameras from overhead surfaces, supporting a clean and professional camera deployment.
Why Choose the AXIS TQ3106-SE Pendant Kit
Where a standard painted or mild steel pendant bracket would rust, stain, or structurally weaken over time, the TQ3106-SE provides a mounting solution built to endure the conditions it is placed in. The combination of SUS 316L construction and electropolishing produces a surface that resists both corrosion and bacterial retention, which is critical in hygiene-sensitive or coastal deployments where hardware longevity directly affects maintenance costs and camera uptime. The confirmed 1.5-inch NPS thread ensures mechanical compatibility with the pendant mounting requirements of supported Axis dome cameras, and the product’s status as the direct replacement for the legacy T94U01D simplifies ordering for installers already familiar with that specification. Available through Security Wholesalers, the TQ3106-SE is a targeted solution for projects where material quality in the mounting hardware is as important as the camera itself.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Confirm that your selected Axis dome camera is listed as compatible with the TQ3106-SE pendant kit before ordering. The 1.5-inch NPS thread is specific to supported dome camera models, and not all Axis dome cameras use the same pendant mounting thread or bracket interface. Cross-reference the camera’s mounting accessory list in its official datasheet to verify compatibility.

Ideal Use Cases
Coastal and Waterfront Facilities
Jetties, marinas, harbours, and waterfront structures expose mounting hardware to constant salt air and moisture. The TQ3106-SE’s 316L stainless steel construction resists the pitting and rust that would affect standard hardware in these conditions.
Food Processing and Production Areas
The electropolished 316L stainless steel surface resists bacterial adhesion and tolerates the chemical cleaning agents routinely used in food-safe environments, supporting compliance with hygiene standards without sacrificing camera coverage.
Wastewater and Chemical Treatment Plants
Environments with airborne chemical compounds or corrosive vapours demand mounting hardware that can tolerate long-term chemical exposure. The TQ3106-SE is confirmed resistant to most industrial chemicals, making it appropriate for utility and processing infrastructure.
Upgrade Projects Replacing T94U01D Mounts
As the confirmed replacement for the legacy AXIS T94U01D Pendant Kit, the TQ3106-SE is suited to refresh or upgrade projects where existing specifications referenced the older unit, allowing seamless substitution without revising installation plans.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation is in a coastal, marine, or chemically aggressive environment where hardware corrosion is a genuine concern, and you need a 1.5-inch NPS pendant mount for a compatible Axis dome camera.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation is in a standard indoor or sheltered outdoor environment with no chemical or saltwater exposure, where a non-stainless pendant kit would provide adequate longevity at lower cost. Also consider whether your specific Axis dome camera supports pendant mounting via a 1.5-inch NPS thread before purchasing.
FAQs
- What is the AXIS TQ3106-SE Pendant Kit used for?
It is a pendant mounting accessory designed to suspend compatible Axis dome cameras from ceilings or overhead structures using a 1.5-inch NPS thread connection. It is built for environments where standard mounting hardware would not hold up, specifically marine, coastal, and chemically exposed locations, due to its SUS 316L stainless steel construction and electropolished finish.
- Why is 316L stainless steel specified rather than standard stainless steel?
316L is a low-carbon, molybdenum-bearing grade of stainless steel that provides superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion compared to the more common 304 grade. The addition of molybdenum makes it significantly more resistant to chloride-rich environments such as coastal and marine sites, where 304-grade hardware can still corrode over time.
- What does the electropolished finish do?
Electropolishing removes surface micro-roughness from the stainless steel, producing a smoother surface that is harder for corrosive agents and biological matter to adhere to. It also eliminates embedded contaminants introduced during manufacturing, further improving the long-term corrosion resistance of the pendant kit beyond what the base 316L material provides on its own.
- Does this pendant kit replace an older Axis product?
Yes. The AXIS TQ3106-SE Pendant Kit is the confirmed replacement for the legacy AXIS T94U01D Pendant Kit. If your project documentation or previous installation specification references the T94U01D, the TQ3106-SE is the current product to order. This information is confirmed by Axis and is part of the product data available through Security Wholesalers.
- Can this pendant kit be used in indoor installations as well as outdoors?
Yes. The TQ3106-SE is confirmed for both indoor and outdoor use. While its 316L stainless steel and electropolished finish are particularly valuable outdoors in harsh conditions, it is equally suited to demanding indoor environments such as food processing areas, pharmaceutical facilities, or indoor aquatic centres where chemical exposure or humidity is a factor.
