B-LINE 4A-18-45VO12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line 4A-18-45VO12 fit an 18 inch wide, 4 inch deep aluminum ladder tray run?
That is exactly the run it is built for. The fitting is an 18 inch width, 4 inch side rail height aluminum vertical outside bend, so it matches an 18 x 4 aluminum ladder tray of the same B-Line series. Width and rail height both have to match the straight sections or the splice plates won't line up.
2) What angle and bend radius does this B-Line vertical bend turn at?
It turns 45 degrees on a 12 inch radius. The 12 inch radius sets your minimum cable bending allowance through the fitting, so check it against the bend radius of the largest conductor in the tray before you commit. Overall the fitting measures 13.607 inches in length.
3) What is the difference between a vertical outside bend and a vertical inside bend on cable tray?
Direction of the turn relative to the cable. A vertical outside bend, which is what model 4A-18-45VO12 is, carries the run up and over an obstruction so the cables ride on the outside of the curve. A vertical inside bend turns the other way, dropping the run down. Order the one that matches your elevation change, since they are not interchangeable.
4) Is this cable tray bend aluminum or steel, and does that matter for a wet or corrosive area?
Aluminum. That makes it lighter to handle overhead and it resists corrosion better than plain painted steel, which is why aluminum tray is common in plants, tunnels and damp process areas. If your spec calls for steel or stainless tray, this fitting is not a substitute, since fittings have to be the same material and series as the straight sections.
5) Do splice plates and hardware come with this B-Line vertical bend?
The order covers the 45 degree vertical outside bend itself. Splice plates, bolts and the hangers or trapeze supports for the fitting are separate line items, so add them to the order along with any second 45 degree bend if you are stepping the run up and back level.
6) How much does the 18 inch B-Line 45 degree vertical outside bend weigh for overhead install?
4.748 lb. Light enough for one electrician to set and bolt off on a trapeze or strut hanger, which is one of the practical reasons aluminum tray gets specified for long overhead runs.
7) Does this B-Line cable tray fitting carry any certification for a spec submittal?
It is CE marked. That is the certification held on record for model 4A-18-45VO12, the Series 2-5 aluminum vertical outside bend.
