B-LINE 6A-18-36-HT12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What tray widths does the Eaton B-Line 6A-18-36-HT12 expanding tee connect?
The 6A-18-36-HT12 horizontal tee is an expanding tee, meaning it joins runs of two different widths: 18 inch and 36 inch tray. That is what the 18-36 in the model number refers to. If both of your runs are the same width, this is not the fitting you want, you need a straight (non-expanding) horizontal tee in that single width.
2) What is the bend radius on the B-Line 6A-18-36-HT12 cable tray tee?
It is a 12 inch radius fitting. That matters because the radius has to be at least the minimum bend radius of the largest cable you are pulling through the tee, and because radius sets how much room the fitting takes in the ceiling space. Mixing radii across a run is fine mechanically, but pull calculations are done off the tightest one.
3) Is this B-Line cable tray tee aluminum or steel?
Aluminum. That keeps the fitting light for overhead work (it weighs about 23.29 lb) and suits it to runs where weight on the supports or corrosion resistance matters. It should be matched to aluminum tray of the same series rather than mixed with a steel ladder run, since the side rail profiles and splice plates differ between materials.
4) How much space does this horizontal tee take up in the run?
Plan for 24 inches of length and 18 inches of width on the fitting itself, at 6 inches deep, with a 12 inch radius on the turn. Lay that out against your straight sections before you set hangers, since supports typically land on both sides of a fitting rather than under it.
5) Does the B-Line 6A-18-36-HT12 tee carry any certification marking?
It carries a CE marking. For a fitting going into a US commercial or industrial job, the governing items are usually the tray system listing and the NEC Article 392 support and fill rules for the run as a whole, so specify the fitting to match the series and material of the tray already approved on the drawing.
6) Can one electrician handle this cable tray tee overhead?
At 23.29 lb the aluminum tee is a manageable overhead lift for one person from a lift or platform, though most crews set fittings with two hands on it while a second person starts the splice bolts. Splice plates and hardware are ordered separately to match the series, so have those on the cart before you go up.
