B-LINE 4A-36-30VI36 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a vertical inside bend used for in a cable tray run?
A vertical inside bend changes the elevation of a tray run where the fitting turns up into the inside of the angle, keeping the cables on the concave side of the bend. The B-Line 4A-36-30VI36 handles a 30 degree elevation change on a 36 inch wide, 4 inch deep aluminum ladder tray with a 36 inch radius. If your run needs to drop away from the cables instead, you want the matching vertical outside bend, not this one.
2) What is the part number I should quote for a 36 inch wide, 30 degree vertical inside bend?
Order Eaton B-Line 4A-36-30VI36. Read it as 4 inch rail, 36 inch width, 30 degree vertical inside, 36 inch radius. The suffix is where mistakes happen: VI is vertical inside and VO is vertical outside, and the trailing number is the radius, not the angle.
3) Why choose a 36 inch radius bend instead of a tighter one?
Bend radius sets the minimum cable bending radius through the elevation change. Large conductors and fiber need a generous sweep, and the 36 inch radius on this fitting gives it. The trade-off is space: it eats about 25.692 inches of run length at 30 degrees. Tighter radius fittings save room but restrict what cable you can pull through them.
4) Is this cable tray fitting aluminum or steel, and does that matter for my install?
Aluminum. That keeps the piece light for overhead work, the fitting weighs 8.402 lb, and it holds up better than plain steel in damp or corrosive areas. It also means you should not mix it into a galvanized steel run without thinking about dissimilar metal contact at the splice, and aluminum tray is commonly used as an equipment grounding conductor path only where the design engineer has sized it for that.
5) Does this Eaton B-Line tray bend carry any third-party listing for a Canadian job?
It is CSA certified, which is what a Canadian inspector will look for on the fitting. That is the only certification carried on the record for this part.
6) Do splice plates and hardware come with this B-Line vertical bend?
The 4A-36-30VI36 is the bend fitting alone. Splice plates, bolts and any hanger or trapeze support at the transition are ordered separately, and a vertical elevation change is one of the spots where you generally want a support close to each end of the fitting rather than relying on the adjoining straight sections.
