B-LINE 4A-09-VT12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the B-Line 4A-09-VT12 vertical tee down fitting actually do in a cable tray run?
It is a three-way cable tray fitting that takes a straight run and drops a branch vertically downward while the main run continues through. The 4A-09-VT12 is a Series 2-5 vertical tee down in aluminum, built for 9 inch wide tray with a 4 inch side rail height, and the drop is formed on a 12 inch radius so cable bend radius is maintained through the turn.
2) Is the B-Line 4A-09-VT12 vertical tee down UL listed for use in an electrical installation?
It is UL Classified. That is the standard basis inspectors look for on cable tray and tray fittings used as a support system for electrical cable.
3) Aluminum or steel cable tray fittings - which should I use for an outdoor or corrosive run?
The 4A-09-VT12 is aluminum, which is the usual choice outdoors, in wash-down areas, and anywhere weight on the supports matters, since it resists corrosion without coating and is lighter than steel. Steel tray is chosen where higher load capacity or lower cost per foot drives the job. Whichever you pick, keep the fittings and the straight sections in the same material and series so the splice plates and hardware match.
4) What is the exact part number to order for a 9 inch, 4 inch deep aluminum vertical tee down?
Order B-Line (Eaton) part 4A-09-VT12. Reading the number: 4A is the 4 inch aluminum rail, 09 is the 9 inch tray width, VT is vertical tee, and 12 is the 12 inch radius.
5) Do I need a vertical tee down or a vertical elbow for my tray drop?
Use a vertical tee down like the 4A-09-VT12 when the main horizontal run has to continue straight past the point where a branch drops away. If the run simply turns down and stops going forward, that is a vertical elbow, not a tee. Both come on a stated radius, and this one is 12 inches.
6) How much does the 4A-09-VT12 tee weigh and how big is it for handling and support spacing?
It weighs 10 lb and measures 4 in height by 15 in length by 9 in width. That is a one-hand piece on a lift, but as with any tray fitting it still needs hangers or trapeze supports on both the horizontal approach and the vertical drop rather than hanging off the adjoining straight sections.
