B-LINE FTS12ESKSS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Eaton B-Line Flextray expansion splice kit FTS12ESKSS actually do on a wire basket tray run?
The FTS12ESKSS is an expansion splice kit for Eaton B-Line Flextray wire basket tray. It joins two tray sections at a point where the run has to move, so thermal growth and contraction in a long straight run is taken up at the splice instead of stressing the tray or its supports. It is a joining kit only, not a tray section or a support.
2) Is the B-Line Flextray expansion splice kit UL Classified and CSA compliant for a spec job?
Yes. The Flextray expansion splice kit is UL Classified and carries CSA compliance, which is what an inspector or a spec reviewer looks for on tray splice hardware in commercial and institutional work.
3) Is the Flextray FTS12ESKSS splice kit suitable for a damp or outdoor tray run?
The kit is steel with a pre-galvanized finish, which is the standard indoor and sheltered-location finish for basket tray hardware. For direct outdoor exposure, coastal air, or corrosive process areas, specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel splice instead.
4) Do I need an expansion splice or will a standard splice do on my basket tray run?
A standard splice mechanically ties two tray sections together and holds them fixed. An expansion splice, like the FTS12ESKSS, is what you use where the run is long enough that temperature swing will change its length, or where it crosses a building expansion joint. Fix the run at its supports elsewhere and let the expansion splice take the movement. For short interior runs in a conditioned space, a standard Flextray splice is the normal choice.
5) Is one FTS12ESKSS kit enough to complete a splice joint, or do I need extra hardware?
It ships as a kit, sold one model, FTS12ESKSS, and is intended to make up the joint at a single splice point. Count one per expansion joint in the run. The tray sections, supports, and any bonding jumpers required by code are separate items.
