B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" Height, 13.607" Length, 12" Width, Series 2-5 vertical outside bend, Aluminum, 45° Angle, 12" R

A vertical outside bend carries the tray run up or down over an obstruction, with the fitting bending away from the cables' inside face. The Eaton B-Line 6A-12-45VO12 turns the run 45 degrees on a 12 inch radius, so it is the piece you use where the tray has to step over a duct, beam, or pipe rather than change direction horizontally. For a side to side turn you need a horizontal bend instead, and for a bend where the tray wraps toward the cable side you need the vertical inside version.

Figure 13.607 inches of length depth for the 45 degree vertical outside bend. That is the dimension to subtract when you cut or order straight sections on either side of the elevation change, so your supports and splice points land where the drawing shows them.

Aluminum is the material here, and it is the usual pick for corrosive or damp environments, exterior runs, and jobs where installers are handling sections overhead: this bend is 6.5 pounds. Steel tray carries more load per span and is often specified where fire or physical abuse is the concern. Whichever you pick, keep the whole run in one material and one series so splice plates line up.

The 6A-12-45VO12 bend carries CSA certification, which is what an inspector on a Canadian project will look for on the tray run. That is the only certification stated for this fitting.

Order Eaton B-Line part 6A-12-45VO12. The number reads as 6 inch height, aluminum, 12 inch width, 45 degree vertical outside, 12 inch radius, which is why the adjacent radius and angle options carry different numbers.

Yes. Cable tray fittings ship as the formed section; the splice plates, bolts, and any supports at the fitting are separate line items. Order splice hardware matched to the Series 2 through 5 aluminum tray so the connection and the bonding path are continuous through the bend.
