B-LINE FLEXMATE2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Eaton B-Line FLEXMATE2 used for on a wire basket cable tray run?
FLEXMATE2 is a splice clip for Eaton B-Line Flextray wire basket tray. It joins two sections of wire basket end to end so the run stays mechanically and electrically continuous without welding or field fabrication. The clip is steel with a pre-galvanized finish, sized 2 in by 1 in by .75 in.
2) Is the FLEXMATE2 splice clip UL listed or classified for cable tray installations?
The FLEXMATE2 clip is UL Classified and carries CSA compliance, which is what an inspector on a commercial or institutional job will look for when the basket tray run is being used as an equipment grounding path or reviewed against the electrical drawings.
3) Will FLEXMATE2 splice clips work on any brand of wire mesh cable tray?
FLEXMATE2 is made for the Eaton B-Line Flextray wire basket system. Wire diameter and mesh spacing differ between manufacturers, so a clip sized for Flextray is not a stated fit on another brand's basket tray. Match the clip to the tray family you are installing.
4) Can I use pre-galvanized FLEXMATE2 splice clips outdoors or in a wet area?
Pre-galvanized steel is a mill-galvanized finish intended for dry, indoor, conditioned spaces. For exterior runs, parking structures, wash-down areas, or corrosive environments, specify Flextray splice hardware in hot dip galvanized or stainless steel instead. Mixing a pre-galvanized clip into a stainless or hot dip run also creates a dissimilar metal contact you do not want.
5) Do I need tools to install Eaton B-Line Flextray splice clips?
Splice clips are the no-hardware method of joining Flextray. They clip over the wire mesh at the joint rather than requiring nuts, bolts and washers, so the joint goes together fast with hand pressure and a tool only to seat or remove the clip. If your spec calls out bolted splice plates instead, order those; the clip is the alternative to them, not an accessory for them.
6) What exactly am I ordering when I specify B-Line FLEXMATE2?
The part number is FLEXMATE2, an Eaton B-Line series Flextray splice clip in pre-galvanized steel. That MPN is what a distributor or purchasing agent should put on the order to get the clip rather than a bolted splice plate or a tray section.
7) How many FLEXMATE2 clips do I need per splice on a Flextray run?
Quantity depends on the tray width and the loading, since clips are placed across the joint at the side rails and along the bottom wires. Count the wires that have to be tied at each joint for your tray width and order accordingly. FLEXMATE2 is sold as a single model and each clip weighs 1 lb, so estimate your job total by joints times clips per joint.
