B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" Height, 23.598" Length, 30" Width, Series 2-5 vertical outside bend, Aluminum, 30° Angle, 36" R

A vertical outside bend carries a tray run over a convex change in elevation, where the tray crests and turns downward (over a beam, duct, or pipe rack). Eaton B-Line part 6A-30-30VO36 makes that transition at a 30 degree angle on a 36 inch radius. If your run drops and then comes back up (a concave change, like dipping under an obstruction), you need a vertical inside bend instead, not this fitting.

Figure 23.598 inches of run length for the fitting, just under two feet. Lay that out before you cut your straight sections, because the bend consumes that space between the two adjoining splice points. The 36 inch bend radius is what drives the length, and it is also the figure to check against your cable manufacturer's minimum bending radius.

Not advisable. The 6A-30-30VO36 is aluminum, and mixing it into a galvanized or stainless steel run puts dissimilar metals in contact at the splice, which invites galvanic corrosion, and the two materials also differ in rail profile and splice hole pattern between manufacturers' lines. Keep the fitting material the same as the straight sections. Aluminum is the usual pick where weight matters or where the run is in a corrosive or coastal environment.

Order splice connectors and hardware separately. The 6A-30-30VO36 is the bend fitting itself. You will also want a hanger or support within the manufacturer's spacing on each side of the fitting, since a change in elevation is a load point in the run.

It weighs 13 pounds. That is a one-man lift on the ground, but at 30 inches wide and nearly two feet long it is awkward overhead, so plan on a second set of hands or a temporary support hanger while you land the splice plates.

It carries CE marking. If your spec calls out additional listings beyond that, confirm those against the tray series documentation for your run.
