B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" Height, 27.000" Length, 18" Width, Series 2-5 vertical outside bend, Aluminum, 90° Angle, 24" R

A vertical outside bend carries the tray run over an obstruction or up a change in elevation, turning the run 90 degrees in the vertical plane with the cables riding the outside of the curve. The B-Line 6A-18-90VO24 is the aluminum version for 18 inch wide, 6 inch deep Series 2-5 tray, formed on a 24 inch radius.

It matches 18 inch wide tray with a 6 inch loading depth in the B-Line Series 2-5 family. Cable tray fittings are sized to the tray they splice into, so if your straight sections are a different width or a different rail depth, this fitting will not line up at the splice plates.

It depends which way the run turns. An outside bend, like this one, is used where the tray changes elevation and the cables run along the outside of the curve, such as coming up a wall and turning to run horizontally along the ceiling. If the cables ride the inside of the curve, you need the vertical inside bend in the same width, depth and radius instead.

Plan the space around a 24 inch inside radius and an overall fitting length of 27 inches. That radius is what determines the cable bending arc, so it needs to be at least as generous as the minimum bend radius of the largest conductor in the tray.

Yes, the 6A-18-90VO24 vertical outside bend carries CSA certification, which is what inspectors in Canadian jurisdictions look for on tray and fittings.

The Eaton B-Line part number is 6A-18-90VO24: 6 inch rail depth, aluminum, 18 inch width, 90 degree vertical outside, 24 inch radius. The number reads out the configuration, so if you need a different radius or angle only that part of the code changes.
