B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" Height, 15" Length, 6" Width, Series 2-5 vertical tee up, Aluminum, 12" Radius

A vertical tee up joins three tray runs where the branch turns upward out of the horizontal plane. The Eaton B-Line 6A-06-VTU12 is the Series 2-5 vertical tee up version, built on a 12 inch radius so cable bend radius is maintained as the run changes elevation. Use it where a tray needs to break upward to a higher level or into a riser while the straight run continues through.

Aluminum. That keeps the fitting light for overhead work (18.62 lb) and suits it to damp or corrosive indoor and outdoor environments where a painted steel tray would need coating maintenance. Match the material to the rest of the run so you are not mixing aluminum and steel at bolted splice points.

Yes, it carries a UL Classified marking, which matters on jobs where the tray is used as an equipment grounding conductor or where the spec calls for classified tray components throughout the system. Keep the classification consistent across straights, fittings and splice plates.

Allow for a 15 inch overall length on the run axis and a 12 inch radius through the turn. Plan hanger and support locations clear of the fitting itself, and confirm the vertical branch has 12 inch radius clearance above the horizontal run before you set the trapeze spacing.

Use a vertical elbow when the whole run changes elevation and nothing continues straight ahead. Use this vertical tee up, the 6A-06-VTU12, when the horizontal run keeps going and a branch also needs to rise out of it. Both are 12 inch radius fittings in the Series 2-5 aluminum family at 6 inch width, so they mate to the same straight sections.

The 6A-06-VTU12 is supplied as the fitting itself. Splice plates and connection hardware for joining it to the adjoining straight sections are ordered separately, so count the number of joints in your run and add the matching Series 2-5 aluminum splice kits to the order.
