B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" Height, 31.125" Length, 30" Width, Series 2-5 horizontal bend, Aluminum, 30° Angle, 36" Radius

Plan for the 36 inch inside radius plus the fitting's own 31.125 inch length dimension when you set your hanger points. The 6A-30-30HB36 turns the run 30 degrees in the horizontal plane, so it is a partial direction change, not a 45 or 90. Lay out your supports either side of the fitting rather than trying to hang from the bend itself.

Bend radius is driven by the minimum bending radius of the cable you are pulling. A 36 inch radius fitting gives large power and control cable room to make the turn without exceeding its bend limit, which matters most on big conductors and fiber. If your cable schedule allows a tighter turn, a smaller radius fitting saves space, but you cannot go below what the cable manufacturer permits.

Aluminum. That is the usual pick for outdoor, coastal, wastewater and chemical areas where plain steel would need galvanizing or paint, and it keeps the fitting light at 10.2 pounds so one person can set it on the hangers. Aluminum tray is also non-magnetic, which some install specs call for around instrumentation.

The 6A-30-30HB36 is the bend section itself. Splice plates, connectors and mounting hardware are ordered separately, along with the hangers or trapeze supports on each side of the turn. Order splice hardware matched to the Series 2-5 aluminum rail so the bolt pattern lines up.

No. A horizontal bend turns the run left or right while staying at the same elevation. To go up or down you need a vertical inside or outside riser fitting of matching width and series. The 6A-30-30HB36 handles a 30 degree turn in plan only.
