B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" Height, 51.000" Length, 36" Width, Series 2-5 vertical outside bend, Aluminum, 90° Angle, 48" R

A vertical outside bend carries the tray run up or down over an obstruction with the cables riding on the outside of the curve, so the tray turns away from the cable side. The B-Line 6A-36-90VO48 makes that turn at 90 degrees on a 48 inch radius. If the run has to bend the other way, with the cables on the inside of the curve, you need a vertical inside bend of the matching height, width and radius instead. Pick the one that matches the direction of the drop or rise on your drawing, because the two are not interchangeable.

The 6A-36-90VO48 vertical outside bend carries CSA certification, which is what an inspector on a Canadian job will be looking for on the tray and its fittings. That is the certification stated for this part.

Order Eaton B-Line 6A-36-90VO48. Read the number the way B-Line builds it: 6 inch rail height, A for aluminum, 36 inch width, 90 degree vertical outside bend, 48 inch radius. If the run is a different width or radius, the corresponding digits in that part number change.

At 28.7 lb the bend is a one or two man lift, but it is 51 inches long and 36 inches wide, so it is awkward on a lift or ladder and most crews set it with two. Support the fitting at both ends near the splice points rather than letting it hang off the adjoining straight sections, and add a hanger on each leg of the 90 degree turn.
