B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" height, 47.69" length, 42" width, Series 2-5 vertical inside bend, 60°, 36" radius, Aluminum

A vertical inside bend turns the tray run upward or downward while keeping the cables on the inside of the curve, so the fitting bends toward the tray bottom. The B-Line 6A-42-60VI36 makes that turn at 60 degrees on a 36 inch radius. If your run needs to break the other direction, with the cables riding the outside of the curve, you need a vertical outside bend instead, not this part.

That is exactly the size it is built for: 42 inch tray width and 6 inch loading depth, in aluminum, from the Eaton B-Line Series 2 through 5 imperial ladder line. If your straight sections are a different width or a 3, 4 or 5 inch depth, this fitting will not line up at the splice, and you would order the matching width and height version of the same bend.

Lay out for a 36 inch inside radius and an overall fitting length of 47.69 inches. On a 60 degree break that arc eats real space above or below the straight run, so check clearance to structure, duct, and pipe before you set your trapeze hangers. Tighter openings usually get a smaller radius fitting rather than this 36 inch one.

Yes. The 6A-42-60VI36 vertical inside bend is UL Classified, which is what most electrical inspectors and specs look for on cable tray used as an equipment grounding conductor path or in listed tray systems.

Order the bend as the fitting itself. Splice plates, bolts, and hangers or trapeze supports for each end of the bend are separate line items, so add them to the order along with the straight sections. Match the splice hardware to the same Series 2-5 aluminum tray profile in 42 inch width.

Eaton B-Line part number 6A-42-60VI36. Reading it out: 6 inch depth, aluminum, 42 inch width, 60 degree vertical inside bend, 36 inch radius.

It weighs 12.38 lb. Aluminum construction keeps a 42 inch wide fitting light enough for a two-man lift onto hangers without rigging, which is a big part of why aluminum gets specified over steel on overhead runs.

Aluminum is the usual pick where weight on the structure matters or where the environment is damp or corrosive, since it needs no galvanizing or paint to hold up. This 42 inch, 6 inch deep inside bend is aluminum and weighs 12.38 lb. Steel tray is the alternative where higher load ratings or lower material cost drive the spec, but you should not mix an aluminum fitting into a steel run at the splice.
