B-LINE 4A-18-VT36 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a Series 2-5 vertical tee down fitting do in a cable tray run?
A vertical tee down splits a horizontal cable tray run into a branch that drops vertically while the main run continues straight through. The Eaton B-Line 4A-18-VT36 is the aluminum version for 18 inch wide, 4 inch deep tray, with a 36 inch bend radius on the drop.
2) How much space do I need to allow for this vertical tee down in the run?
Plan on 39 inches of length for the fitting itself, with a 4 inch rail depth and 18 inch usable width. The 36 inch radius drop also needs vertical clearance below the run, so check headroom under the tray before you commit the elevation.
3) Is an aluminum cable tray tee suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
Aluminum is the usual choice where steel would need galvanizing or paint to survive, so it holds up in damp indoor areas, plant environments, and outdoor runs. This tee is aluminum throughout. Aluminum also keeps the fitting light: at 26.2 lb it is a two-hand lift for one installer on a lift rather than a rigging job.
4) Should I use a vertical tee down or a vertical elbow for a cable tray drop?
Use a vertical elbow when the whole run changes elevation and nothing continues straight. Use a vertical tee down, like the 4A-18-VT36, when the main run keeps going horizontally and you are taking a branch down off it, for example dropping to a panel or equipment below while the trunk carries on.
5) What is the exact part number to order for the 18 inch aluminum 36 inch radius vertical tee down?
Order Eaton B-Line 4A-18-VT36. The number reads out as 4 inch aluminum, 18 inch width, vertical tee down, 36 inch radius, which is a quick way to confirm you have the right fitting against the drawing.
6) How much does the 4A-18-VT36 cable tray tee weigh for handling and support spacing?
26.2 lb. That is the fitting's own dead load, which you add to cable fill when you size the hangers or trapeze supports on either side of the drop.
7) Does this Eaton B-Line tray fitting carry any certification marking?
It is CE marked. That is the only marking carried on the record for the 4A-18-VT36.
