B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" height, 47.17" length, 42" width, Series 2-5 vertical outside bend, 90°, 24" radius, Aluminum

A vertical outside bend carries the tray run up and over an obstruction or a change in elevation, with the tray bending away from the load side. Model 6A-42-90VO24 makes a full 90 degree change of direction on a 24 inch radius. If your run has to drop down and the bend wraps toward the cable side instead, that is a vertical inside bend and this fitting will not work for it. Pick the outside or inside version by which way the tray face turns at the elevation change.

Allow for a fitting that measures 47.17 inches in length along the run, 42 inches across, and 6 inches in rail height. The 24 inch radius is the inside bend radius, which is what governs how tightly the cable can turn, so check it against the minimum bending radius of the largest conductor in the tray before you commit to it. A larger radius fitting is the fix if your cable calls for a gentler turn.

The fitting weighs 16.3 lb. That is a one or two man lift at height even at 42 inches wide, which is the practical advantage of aluminum over a steel fitting of the same size. Support it per the manufacturer's spacing for the run; a bend of this size is normally hung close to each end rather than left cantilevered off the adjoining straight sections.

The 6A-42-90VO24 is supplied as the bend itself. Splice plates, bolts and the hangers or trapeze supports at the elevation change are separate line items, so add them to the order along with any grounding jumper your specification calls for across the fitting joints.

That is Eaton B-Line 6A-42-90VO24: Series 2-5 vertical outside bend, 90 degrees, 24 inch radius, 42 inch width, 6 inch height, aluminum. The width, rail height, angle and radius are all built into the number, so a change to any one of them is a different part.

Aluminum is the usual pick where you want corrosion resistance and low weight without the cost of stainless or the coating maintenance of painted steel, which is why it shows up in water treatment, food plants, parking structures and outdoor runs. The 6A-42-90VO24 bend is aluminum throughout. Where you have heavy chemical exposure or high point loads, a coated steel or stainless tray system is the better call.

It is CE marked. If your submittal package is for a European specification or an export job that requires CE, this fitting satisfies that line item. Order by manufacturer part number 6A-42-90VO24 so the submittal matches what arrives.
