B-LINE 6A-18-VT12 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the B-Line 6A-18-VT12 vertical tee down actually do in a cable tray run?
The Eaton B-Line 6A-18-VT12 is a Series 2-5 vertical tee down fitting. It takes a straight horizontal tray run and branches a third leg downward, so cable can drop to a lower elevation while the main run continues through. It is a fitting, not a straight tray section, so you splice it into the run between straight lengths.
2) What tray width and side rail height does the 6A-18-VT12 cable tray tee match?
It is built for 18 inch wide tray with a 6 inch side rail height. The fitting itself measures 15 inches in the length/depth direction. If your run is a different width or your rails are a different depth, this fitting will not line up at the splice plates.
3) What bend radius does this B-Line vertical tee use, and why does it matter for my cable?
The 6A-18-VT12 is a 12 inch radius fitting. Cable manufacturers specify a minimum bending radius, and on power cable that figure is often larger than a 12 inch fitting allows, so check your cable's minimum bend radius against 12 inches before you commit. B-Line builds these vertical fittings in other radii for runs with larger cable.
4) Is this cable tray tee aluminum or steel, and can I use it outdoors?
Aluminum. That makes it a common choice for wet, coastal, and corrosive environments where a plain steel tray would need galvanizing or paint, and it keeps the weight down for overhead work. Stay consistent across the run: mixing aluminum fittings with steel tray invites galvanic corrosion at the splice.
5) Should I use a vertical tee down or a vertical elbow for dropping cable tray to a lower level?
Use a vertical elbow when the whole run changes elevation and nothing continues straight ahead. Use a vertical tee down, like the 6A-18-VT12, when the main run keeps going and you only need a branch going down, for example feeding a panel or equipment below while the backbone continues to the next room.
6) What part number do I order for an 18 inch aluminum Series 2-5 vertical tee down?
The Eaton B-Line manufacturer part number is 6A-18-VT12. The number reads out the fitting: 6 inch rail height, aluminum, 18 inch tray width, vertical tee with a 12 inch radius.
7) How much does the 18 inch B-Line vertical tee down weigh for rigging and support spacing?
20.6 lb for the fitting itself, before any cable load. Light enough for a two-man overhead set, but support it on both sides of the drop the way you would any tray fitting, since the branch leg puts load off the main axis.
8) What certification does the B-Line 6A-18-VT12 cable tray fitting carry?
It carries CE marking. If your specification calls out other listings or agency approvals for the tray system, confirm them against the full Series 2-5 system documentation before you submit.
