B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" Height, 27" Length, 18" Width, Series 2-5 vertical tee up, Aluminum, 24" Radius

The B-Line 6A-18-VTU24 is a vertical tee up fitting: it joins a straight tray run to a branch that rises out of the horizontal plane, so cable can break upward from the main run while the main run continues through. It is built as part of the Series 2-5 imperial cable tray and ladder line in aluminum, with a 24 inch radius on the bend so cable bend radius is maintained through the transition.

No. A vertical tee up is fabricated with the branch turning upward and cannot be inverted to serve as a down tee. For a branch leaving the main run downward you need the vertical tee down version in the same 6 inch height, 18 inch width, 24 inch radius aluminum configuration.

Allow 27 inches of length along the run for the fitting itself, with a 24 inch bend radius on the vertical leg. Lay that out before you set hangers, because the tee has to land between supports rather than on top of one.

Aluminum. It will not rust the way painted or plain steel tray does, which is why aluminum tray is common in damp, coastal, and chemically aggressive spaces, and it keeps the fitting light enough to handle overhead. It weighs 30.824 lb, so plan the lift and the support spacing accordingly.

It is CSA certified, which is what an inspector on a Canadian project will look for on tray and tray fittings.

Order B-Line (Eaton) part number 6A-18-VTU24. The number reads out as the fitting spec: 6 inch rail height, aluminum, 18 inch width, vertical tee up, 24 inch radius.
