B-LINE 6A-24-VT24 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a vertical tee down fitting do in a cable tray run?
A vertical tee down splits a straight cable tray run into a branch that drops away from the main run, so cables can turn downward at a tee point without being bent over an unsupported edge. Eaton B-Line model 6A-24-VT24 is built for 24 inch wide, 6 inch deep tray and turns on a 24 inch radius, which is what keeps the cable bend within its allowable bend radius through the drop.
2) What radius is this B-Line vertical tee and why does it matter for my cable?
The bend radius is 24 inches. Larger radius fittings let you run heavier power or fiber cable through a vertical transition without violating the cable's minimum bend radius. If your cable spec calls for a tighter turn allowance you can use a smaller radius fitting, but the cable bend radius is the governing number, not the tray.
3) Is this tee aluminum or steel, and can it go outdoors?
It is aluminum. Aluminum tray and fittings are the usual pick for corrosive or damp environments and outdoor runs where galvanized steel would need extra coating, and the lighter section makes overhead hanging easier for one installer. Use steel instead where you need higher load capacity in the same profile.
4) Is this B-Line cable tray tee approved for Canadian jobs?
It carries CSA certification, so it can be specified on Canadian projects where the electrical inspector requires CSA marked tray components.
5) How much length does this vertical tee add to my cable tray layout?
The fitting measures 27 inches in length, so allow that much run length at the tee when you lay out hanger spacing and cut your straight sections. The 24 inch radius drop also needs clear vertical space below the main run.
6) What is the difference between a vertical tee down and a vertical tee up?
Same three-way fitting, opposite branch direction. A vertical tee down, which is what model 6A-24-VT24 is, takes the branch below the plane of the main run. A vertical tee up carries it above. They are not interchangeable on site, so confirm which way your branch drops before ordering.
7) How much does the B-Line 6A-24-VT24 vertical tee weigh for overhead rigging?
35.8 lb. That is a two-person or hoisted lift at ceiling height once you factor in holding it against the existing run while you bolt the splice plates, and it should be counted into your trapeze hanger loading at the tee.
8) What is the part number to order this B-Line tee?
Order Eaton B-Line 6A-24-VT24. The number reads as 6 inch depth, 24 inch width, vertical tee down with a 24 inch radius, in aluminum.
