B-LINE 6A-06-VT12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line 6A-06-VT12 vertical tee fit a 6 inch wide cable tray run?
Yes. The 6A-06-VT12 is built for 6 inch tray width with a 6 inch side rail height, so it mates to a Series 2 through 5 aluminum tray run of the same 6 inch width and 6 inch loading depth. Put it on a wider tray and the rails won't line up.
2) What does a vertical tee down do in a cable tray run, and when do I need one instead of a vertical elbow?
A vertical tee down breaks a horizontal tray run into a branch that drops away below the run while the main run continues straight through. Use a vertical elbow when the whole run has to change level; use this tee when you need to keep the main run going and take a drop off it, for example down to a panel or equipment below. The 6A-06-VT12 makes that drop on a 12 inch radius.
3) Is the B-Line 6A-06-VT12 aluminum or steel, and does that matter outdoors?
It's aluminum. That means no galvanizing to scratch through, good corrosion resistance in damp, coastal and washdown areas, and a light piece to handle on a lift, 17.9 lb for this tee. It also has to stay with aluminum tray and aluminum splice plates; mixing it into a steel run invites dissimilar metal corrosion at the joint.
4) How much room do I need to leave in the ceiling for this tee, and how heavy is it to hang?
Plan on 15 inches of run length taken up by the fitting, 6 inches of tray width and 6 inch deep side rails, plus clearance below for the drop leg. It weighs 17.9 lb, so one electrician can set it, but the support on either side of the fitting still has to carry it plus the cable fill.
5) What is the exact part number to order this 6 inch aluminum vertical tee down?
Order Eaton B-Line part 6A-06-VT12. The number reads out as 6 inch loading depth aluminum, 06 inch width, vertical tee down, 12 inch radius, so a change in width or radius changes the part number.
6) Do splice plates and hardware come with the B-Line 6A-06-VT12 tee?
The 6A-06-VT12 is the fitting itself. Splice plates and their bolt hardware for each of the three connection points, along with hold-down clamps or hangers at the supports, are separate line items. Budget three sets of splice hardware per vertical tee when you write the order.
7) Can I use this tee on a ladder tray run or only on solid bottom tray?
It is part of the B-Line imperial cable tray and ladder line, Series 2 through 5, so it fits the ladder-type aluminum runs in that series at 6 inch width and 6 inch rail height. Match the series and the width; the fitting is not a substitute for a fitting built for a different tray family.
8) Does this B-Line cable tray tee carry any certification marking?
It is CE marked. That is the certification held on record for the 6A-06-VT12 aluminum vertical tee down.
