B-Line Eaton series Flex tray wire basket tray, Reended for exterior and corrosive applications, Hot-dip galvanized, Steel, 8.2" actual area inside tr

Yes. The Eaton B-Line Flex tray model FT2X4X10 HD is hot-dipped galvanized steel and is recommended for exterior and corrosive applications, so damp outdoor runs, coastal sites, wash-down bays and chemical areas are what this finish is for. An electro-zinc or pre-galvanized basket tray belongs indoors in dry conditions instead.

It is a 2 inch deep by 4 inch wide Flex tray basket, supplied in a length of 118.312 inches (just under 10 feet). Overall height measures 2.38 inches, which is the figure to use when you are checking clearance above a ceiling grid or under a slab, not the 2 inch nominal depth.

The tray carries CSA certification, which is the listing electrical inspectors in Canada look for. That is the only certification stated for this part.

That is the point of a wire basket system. The welded wire mesh can be cut with a bolt cutter and formed into elbows, tees and drops in the field, which removes most of the fabricated fittings a solid or ladder tray run would need. Cut ends on a hot-dip galvanized tray should be dressed and cold-galvanized touch-up applied, since you have opened bare steel in an environment picked for its corrosion resistance.

One length weighs 8.2 lb, so a single installer can carry and set several sticks at once. Add the weight of your cable fill when you size hangers or trapeze supports; the tray itself is a small part of the load.
