B-Line Eaton series Flex tray wire basket tray, Food preparation and wash down areas applications, Stainless steel type 304, Steel, 4.3" actual area i

It's Type 304 stainless steel, and Eaton lists it specifically for food preparation and washdown area applications. That's the reason to spec it over a plated or painted steel basket tray in a kitchen, brewery, dairy, or any area getting regular caustic or high pressure cleaning.

At 4.3 square inches of interior area, this size handles small bundles: a modest run of Cat6, fiber, or a handful of control cables. If you're carrying feeders, dense data backbone, or expect to add circuits later, step up to a wider flextray in the same series. Basket tray is easy to add to but a pain to re-hang, so size for the future bundle, not today's.

The material is steel with a Type 304 stainless steel finish designation. For washdown and food-contact-adjacent areas that's the specified construction Eaton assigns to this part. If your spec calls for Type 316 for chloride or coastal exposure, 304 is not a substitute, and you'd need the 316 version of the flextray instead.

Order as Eaton B-Line FT2X2X10 304LSS. The number reads out as flextray, 2 inch width, 2 inch depth, 10 foot nominal length, Type 304L stainless. If you're matching existing tray in a plant, that string is what should be stamped or tagged on the installed run.

Wire basket like this flextray drains and dries, which is why Eaton points it at food prep and washdown areas. Solid bottom tray holds standing water and cleaning solution, and that's what corrodes cable jackets and supports in a kitchen ceiling. Basket also lets you drop cable anywhere along the run instead of pulling to a fitting. Go solid bottom only when you need physical protection from falling debris or a spec demands a covered raceway.

It carries CE. That's the only marking published for this flextray, so if your submittal package requires a specific listing beyond CE, verify against the Eaton submittal sheet for the run you're specifying.
