B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" Height, 26.692" Length, 6" Width, Series 2-5 vertical inside bend, Aluminum, 30° Angle, 36" Rad

A vertical inside bend turns the tray run up or down while keeping the cables on the inside of the curve. Eaton B-Line part 6A-06-30VI36 makes a 30 degree change in elevation on a 36 inch radius. If your run needs to break in the other direction, so the cables ride the outside of the curve, you need a vertical outside bend instead, not this fitting. Getting the two mixed up means the fitting will not sit correctly against the straight sections on either side.

Aluminum. That makes it a common choice for wet, humid, and coastal or wash-down areas where painted steel tray corrodes, and it keeps the fitting light for overhead work at 6 lb. If your specification calls for hot dip galvanized or stainless steel tray, this aluminum fitting is not a match for that spec.

The 6A-06-30VI36 is supplied as the bend fitting only. Splice plates, bolts, and any hangers or supports needed at the elevation change are separate line items, so add them to the order along with the fitting or the crew will be short at install.

Radius is chosen off the cable, not the tray. Large power and fiber cables carry a minimum bend radius, and the tray fitting has to equal or exceed it, which is why the 36 inch radius version exists alongside tighter options. If your largest conductor's minimum bend radius is under a foot, a smaller radius fitting will fit the space better and shorten the 26.692 inch run length this one occupies.

Order Eaton B-Line 6A-06-30VI36. The number breaks down as the 6 inch aluminum Series 2-5 tray, 6 inch width, 30 degree vertical inside bend, 36 inch radius. Quote it exactly, since the same family carries near-identical numbers for outside bends and other angles and radii.
