B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" Height, 17.598" Length, 36" Width, Series 2-5 vertical outside bend, Aluminum, 30° Angle, 24" R

It's a vertical outside bend for Eaton B-Line Series 2-5 aluminum cable tray, turning a 36 inch wide, 6 inch deep tray run 30 degrees over an obstruction or down a slope. Outside bend means the tray crests over the high point (the fitting arcs away from the cable side), as opposed to an inside bend that dips under. It ships as a formed section on a 24 inch radius, so you cut your straight sections to land at each end of it rather than trying to bend tray in the field.

Plan on about 17.598 inches of length for the fitting itself. That is the dimension B-Line publishes for the 6A-36-30VO24, measured along the run, and it is what you subtract from your straight tray before ordering lengths. The 24 inch radius is the centerline arc of the bend, not the space it occupies, so use the 17.598 inch figure when you lay out hangers and splice points.

Going over an obstruction, the tray rises then levels off, and the fitting at the top of that rise is a vertical outside bend, which is what the 6A-36-30VO24 is. The bend at the bottom of the rise, where the tray turns back up from horizontal, is a vertical inside bend. A single obstruction crossing normally takes both: an inside bend to start the climb, an outside bend at the crest, then the mirror pair coming back down. Order them as a set of four for a full bridge over a beam or duct.

The fitting is formed on a 24 inch radius, which sets the gentlest curve your cable can follow through it. If the cables in the run carry a minimum bending radius larger than 24 inches (large power feeders and some fiber assemblies do), this fitting will pull them tighter than their spec allows and you want a larger radius bend instead. For most control, instrumentation, and moderate power runs, 24 inches is comfortable.

Aluminum. That is the reason a lot of people spec Series 2-5 for wash-down areas, coastal sites, water treatment, and food plants, where plated or painted steel tray gives up first. Aluminum tray is also non-magnetic, which matters on runs feeding sensitive instrumentation. If you are matching an existing steel run, don't mix the two at the splice without accounting for dissimilar metal contact.

CSA is the certification carried on this Series 2-5 aluminum bend, so it will satisfy an inspector asking for a certification mark on the tray fitting. That is the only certification stated for the part.

Eaton B-Line 6A-36-30VO24. The number reads out as its own spec: 6 inch rail depth, A for aluminum, 36 inch width, 30 degree vertical outside bend, 24 inch radius. Distributors cross-referencing it should quote that MPN exactly, since the same family covers other widths and angles under near-identical numbers.

The 6A-36-30VO24 is the formed bend section on its own. Splice plates, hardware, and any hangers or trapeze supports for the fitting are separate line items, and you need a pair of splices at each end of the bend to tie it into the straight tray. Match the splice type to Series 2-5 aluminum tray so the bolt pattern and the bonding path are right.

The 6A-36-30VO24 weighs 11.9 lb. A 36 inch wide fitting is awkward to hold overhead solo even at that weight, but it is light enough that two people on a lift can set and splice it without rigging, which is a large part of why aluminum gets specified on wide tray. Add the weight of your splice plates and hardware when you total the load on the trapeze.
