B-Line Eaton series Flex tray wire basket tray, Food preparation and wash down areas applications, Stainless steel type 304, Steel, 71.5" actual area

That is exactly what it is built for. The FT4X18 flextray is specified for food preparation and wash down area applications, in type 304 stainless steel, so it tolerates routine hosing and sanitizing chemicals far better than a plated or painted carbon steel tray. Open wire construction also drains and dries rather than trapping water and debris the way a solid bottom tray does.

Material is listed as steel with a type 304 stainless steel finish designation. For a wash down kitchen run, the practical point is that the 304 specification is what gives it the corrosion resistance; if your environment involves chlorides or salt exposure beyond normal sanitation, a 316 stainless tray is the step up to look for.

Each length runs 21.99 lb empty, at 118.312 inches long. That is light enough for two people to set into trapeze or wall bracket supports without lifting equipment, but remember the hangers have to carry the cable load on top of it, which is usually many times the tray weight in a data or power run.

Wire basket is the better choice where the area gets washed down. It drains, it dries, and there is no flat surface to collect product residue, which is why the FT4X18 is specified for food preparation and wash down areas. Choose solid bottom instead when you need physical protection of the cable from falling debris, EMI shielding, or a barrier keeping drips off equipment below. For a kitchen ceiling run over prep tables, basket in 304 stainless is the standard approach.

What is supplied under part FT4X18X10304LSS is the tray section itself, an 18 inch wide by 4 inch deep stainless basket length. Splice hardware, wall brackets, trapeze hangers, and any dividers or covers are separate line items, so budget those per run when you lay out the job.

CE is the certification listed for this flextray. If your specification calls out a particular listing beyond that for the tray system in your facility type, confirm it against the submittal before release.

Wire basket tray is designed to be field cut, which is the main reason it gets used over rigid ladder tray in tight retrofits. Cutting a 118.312 inch stainless section leaves exposed wire ends, so dress them and use edge protection where cable crosses the cut. Deburring matters more here than on painted tray, since a nicked 304 surface is where corrosion will start in a wash down area.
