B-LINE 4A-09-HX12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What tray width does the B-Line 4A-09-HX12 horizontal cross fit?
The 4A-09-HX12 is built for 9 inch wide cable tray with a 4 inch side rail height. Both legs of the cross match that, so it joins four runs of 9 inch, 4 inch deep Series 2-5 tray at a four-way intersection. If your run is a different width, you need the cross sized to that width instead.
2) What bend radius does this B-Line aluminum cross give the cable, and why does it matter?
It is a 12 inch radius fitting. That radius sets the minimum bend the conductors take turning the corner, so it is the number to check against the cable manufacturer's minimum bending radius for the largest cable in the run. Larger power feeders often need the bigger radius fittings; 12 inch suits most control and moderate power runs.
3) How much space do I need to allow for a 12 inch radius cross in a 9 inch tray layout?
Allow 19.5 inches of length for the fitting itself. With a 12 inch radius and a 9 inch tray width, that dimension is what the cross occupies along each axis from the intersection, so lay out your straight sections and hangers to that figure rather than butting straight runs to the centerline.
4) Is this cable tray cross aluminum or steel?
Aluminum. That makes it a lighter fitting to handle at height and a common choice where corrosion is a concern, such as damp or chemical environments. Keep the whole run in aluminum so the bonding and the splice hardware match; mixing aluminum fittings into a steel tray run creates dissimilar metal contact at every joint.
5) Should I use a horizontal cross or two tees where four cable tray runs meet?
Use the cross when four runs actually meet at one point in the same horizontal plane, which is what this Series 2-5 fitting is made for. Tees are for three-way branches. Building a four-way out of tees adds extra splice points and throws off the radius the cable turns on, which is set here at 12 inches.
6) What is the exact part number to order for the B-Line 9 inch, 4 inch deep aluminum cross with a 12 inch radius?
Order Eaton B-Line part 4A-09-HX12. Reading the number: 4A is the 4 inch aluminum profile, 09 the 9 inch tray width, HX the horizontal cross, and 12 the radius in inches.
7) How much does the B-Line 4A-09-HX12 cross weigh for overhead rigging?
17.063 lb. Light enough for a single installer to set on trapeze hangers, but it is a four-way fitting, so plan support on each of the four approaching runs near the intersection rather than hanging the cross itself unsupported.
8) Does the B-Line 4A-09-HX12 carry any certification marking?
It is CE marked. That is the certification held on record for this aluminum Series 2-5 cross.
