B-LINE 6A-18-45VO24 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a 45 degree vertical outside bend do in a cable tray run?
A vertical outside bend carries the tray run over an obstruction or up a change in elevation, bending the run away from the tray's loading side. The Eaton B-Line 6A-18-45VO24 turns the run 45 degrees on a 24 inch radius, so the cable bending radius stays controlled through the elevation change rather than forcing a hard break in the run.
2) Will this B-Line bend match my 18 inch wide, 6 inch deep aluminum cable tray?
Yes, if your straight sections are 18 inch inside width with a 6 inch side rail height. The 6A-18-45VO24 fitting is built to that 18 inch width and 6 inch height in aluminum, so it lines up rail to rail with matching Series 2 through 5 aluminum ladder tray. Mismatch either the width or the rail depth and the splice plates will not land correctly.
3) How much space do I need to allow in the run for this 45 degree bend?
Allow 22.092 inches of run length for the fitting itself, measured along its length axis, plus whatever the 24 inch radius sweeps through vertically. Plan the support points either side of the fitting before you cut your straight lengths, because the bend consumes more of the run than a butt splice does.
4) Is this an outside bend or an inside bend, and does it matter which I order?
It matters, and getting it wrong means the fitting will not sit in the run. The 6A-18-45VO24 is a vertical OUTSIDE bend, meaning the tray deflects away from the cable-carrying side. An inside (vertical inside) bend turns the other direction. Look at your elevation: rising over a beam and back down usually takes one of each.
5) Why aluminum cable tray instead of steel for this fitting?
The 6A-18-45VO24 bend is aluminum, which keeps the piece light at 7.1 pounds and gives inherent corrosion resistance without a coating to chip during install. Steel tray is the other common route where higher mechanical loading or a specific plant standard calls for it. Mixing aluminum fittings into a steel run is not good practice, so match the fitting to the tray material already installed.
6) Do splice plates and bolts come with this B-Line bend?
The 6A-18-45VO24 is supplied as the bend fitting itself. Splice plates, hardware and any additional supports at the elevation change are ordered separately, so add them to the same order if you are not pulling them from stock.
7) Does this Eaton B-Line cable tray bend carry any certification marking?
It carries the CE marking. That is the marking stated for the 6A-18-45VO24 fitting; no other listing mark is claimed for it.
