B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" Height, 27" Length, 36" Width, Series 2-5 vertical tee up, Aluminum, 24" Radius

The B-Line 6A-36-VTU24 is a vertical tee up fitting: it joins a straight tray run to a branch that rises out of the plane of the run, so you get a three-way junction where one leg turns upward. It is built on a 24 inch radius, so the upward transition is a curved bend rather than a hard right angle, which keeps cable bend radius within limits through the fitting. Use it where a tray main needs to feed a riser without breaking the main run.

It is sized for 36 inch wide tray with a 6 inch loading depth, and the fitting itself measures 27 inches in the length/depth direction. Your straight sections and any adjoining fittings have to be the same 36 inch width and 6 inch rail height or the rails will not line up at the splice.

Look at which way the branch leaves the main run. The 6A-36-VTU24 is a tee UP, so the branch leg rises above the plane of the horizontal run, the way you would feed a riser going to a level above or up to a ceiling. If the branch has to drop below the main run, a vertical tee down fitting is the right part instead. The two are not interchangeable once the tray is set.

Aluminum. That matters on two fronts: it keeps the weight down for overhead work, and it is the usual choice where a steel tray would corrode. The fitting weighs 40 lb, so plan a two-man lift or a hoist when setting it at height.

Radius choice is driven by the cable you are pulling. Large power conductors and fiber have minimum bend radius limits, and a tight fitting will violate them. This B-Line vertical tee up is a 24 inch radius fitting, the wider option in the family, so it suits heavier power cable and fiber runs. Tighter radius fittings exist for lighter control and instrumentation tray where space is the constraint.

Order it as Eaton B-Line 6A-36-VTU24. The number breaks down the way the rest of the series does: 6 inch loading depth, aluminum, 36 inch width, vertical tee up on a 24 inch radius. Distributors matching a submittal should confirm the drawing calls a tee up and not a tee down, since the width and radius digits are identical between the two.

40 lb for the fitting alone, before any cable load. Cable tray fittings normally need support on each leg near the connection points, so account for the fitting weight plus the cable fill it will carry when you size trapeze hangers and anchors at the junction.

It is CE marked. That is the certification held on record for this aluminum vertical tee up fitting.
