B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" Height, 22.092" Length, 36" Width, Series 2-5 vertical outside bend, Aluminum, 45° Angle, 24" R

A vertical outside bend carries the tray run up and over an obstruction, changing elevation while the rungs stay continuous. This Eaton B-Line piece, model 6A-36-45VO24, turns 45 degrees on a 24 inch radius. "Outside" means the bend goes away from the cable side, so the cables ride on the outside of the curve. If your run needs to drop or rise with the cables on the inside of the curve, you want a vertical inside bend instead, not this fitting.

Yes, the 6A-36-45VO24 vertical outside bend is UL Classified. That matters on specs that call for a UL Classified tray system as an equipment grounding conductor or where the AHJ wants the whole run, fittings included, carrying the classification rather than just the straight sections.

This bend is aluminum, which is the usual choice where weight matters on long overhead spans and where corrosion resistance is wanted without galvanizing or paint. Keep the fitting material the same as the rest of your run; mixing aluminum fittings into a steel tray run creates dissimilar metal contact at every splice and can upset a tray-as-ground-path installation.

What ships is the fitting itself, the Series 2-5 aluminum 45 degree vertical outside bend. Splice plates, bolts and hanger hardware are ordered separately and need to be the aluminum splice plates matched to your Series 2 through 5 rail, so count two splice connections per fitting when you build your material list.

Order Eaton B-Line part 6A-36-45VO24. The number reads out as the spec: 6 inch depth aluminum, 36 inch width, 45 degree vertical outside bend, 24 inch radius. Distributors cross-referencing should note the aluminum "A" designation, since the same geometry in steel carries a different prefix.
