B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" Height, 45.188" Length, 24" Width, Series 2-5 vertical inside bend, Aluminum, 90° Angle, 36" Ra

A vertical inside bend turns a tray run up or down through a 90 degree change of direction, with the tray rails bending toward the inside of the turn (the concave side faces the cables). Eaton B-Line model 6A-24-90VI36 is the aluminum Series 2-5 version, built with a 36 inch radius so cable bending limits are respected through the turn. If your run needs to rise over an obstruction and then drop back, you typically need an inside bend at one end of the offset and an outside bend at the other.

It is sized for a 24 inch wide, 6 inch loading depth tray in the Eaton B-Line Series 2-5 aluminum family. Width and rail height have to match your straight sections exactly or the splice plates will not line up, so confirm your run is 24 inch nominal width with 6 inch side rails before ordering. Overall the fitting measures 45.188 inches on its length dimension.

This is the inside bend, Eaton B-Line 6A-24-90VI36. Stand at the turn and look at which face the cables ride against: on a vertical inside bend the cables lie on the concave side of the curve. A run coming along a ceiling and then dropping down a wall uses an inside bend at the top of the drop; the same run turning back out at the bottom uses an outside bend. Ordering the wrong one is the most common mistake on vertical offsets, so sketch the elevation before you buy.

Aluminum. That matters for two reasons on a job: it cuts the handling weight (the fitting is 22.4 lb, light enough for one person on a lift), and aluminum tray is commonly run in damp, coastal, and chemical areas where plated steel would corrode. Aluminum tray also needs a separate bonding jumper practice per your electrical inspector's requirements, so plan your grounding conductor accordingly.

Order splice plates and the associated bolt and nut hardware separately. The 6A-24-90VI36 is supplied as the fitting itself, and every connection to an adjoining straight section or fitting needs its own splice connector matched to the Series 2-5 aluminum rail. Budget two splice sets per fitting, one at each end.

It carries a CE marking. If your specification calls out additional listings for the tray system, verify those against the straight sections and the system as installed, since tray ratings apply to the assembled run.

22.4 lb for the fitting itself. Add the cable fill weight when you size your trapeze hangers or wall brackets; on a vertical 90 the load transfers differently than on a straight run, and B-Line's guidance for tray systems is to support fittings within a short distance of each connection point rather than letting the bend hang off the straight sections alone.
