B-Line Eaton series Flex tray wire basket tray, Food preparation and wash down areas applications, Stainless steel, Steel, 31.5" actual area inside tr

The Eaton B-Line Flex Tray FT2X8X10 SS is a 2 inch deep wire basket tray, 8 inches wide, in a 118.312 inch length (just under 10 feet per stick). Loading width inside the tray is 31.5 square inches of usable area. One length weighs 11.2 lb, so a single installer can run it overhead without a lift.

That is exactly what it is specified for. The FT2X8X10 SS is called out for food preparation and wash down area applications, and it is stainless steel, so it takes the caustics and high pressure rinsing those rooms see. A pre-galvanized or zinc plated basket tray in the same rooms will corrode at the weld points.

It is a steel wire basket tray with a stainless steel finish designation, listed as stainless steel construction rather than a paint or powder coat. That is what makes it suitable for the wash down duty it is specified for.

Wire basket tray like the 2 inch deep Flex Tray is the choice where you want water and debris to fall straight through instead of pooling in the tray, which is why it suits wash down rooms. Solid bottom tray is what you go to when cables need shielding from dripping product or when you want a closed raceway appearance. The 2 inch depth with 8 inch width and 31.5 square inches of interior area is sized for low voltage, controls, and communications bundles rather than deep power feeder stacks; if you are filling more than that, step up to a deeper or wider tray.

The FT2X8X10 SS is ordered as the tray section only, one 118.312 inch length per part number. Splice connectors, hold down clamps, and the trapeze or wall bracket supports are separate line items, so size and count those off your run length before you order the tray.

Yes. Flex Tray is a welded wire mesh basket, so a run is field cut with a tray cutting tool and the mesh bent to form offsets, reducers, and radius turns without ordering separate fittings. That is the main reason contractors pick basket tray over ladder tray for congested equipment rooms. On the stainless FT2X8X10 SS, treat every field cut end with care so the exposed wire tips do not become a snag point on cable jackets.

Overall height is 2.38 inches on a nominally 2 inch deep tray, the extra coming from the top wire. Add your support hardware and hanger rod hardware to that figure when you are checking tight plenum or above-equipment clearance.
