B-Line Eaton series imperial cable tray and ladder, 6" Height, 57.0625" Length, 36" Width, Series 2-5 horizontal bend, Aluminum, 90° Angle, 36" Radius

The 6A-36-90HB36 is built for 36 inch wide, 6 inch deep aluminum tray in the Eaton B-Line Series 2 through 5 range. Both the width and the loading depth have to match the straight sections you are joining to, so it goes between two runs of 36 inch wide, 6 inch tray and nothing narrower or deeper.

Plan for the 36 inch inside radius plus the 36 inch tray width. The fitting itself measures 57.0625 inches along its length dimension, so you need clear space in both directions off the corner before the straight runs pick up again. On a congested ceiling that radius is the number that decides whether the bend fits or whether you need a tighter one.

No. This is a horizontal bend, meaning it turns the run left or right while staying flat. To change elevation you need a vertical inside or outside riser fitting, not this part.

Cable bend radius drives the choice. Large diameter power and fiber cables have minimum bending radii that a short radius fitting will violate, and forcing them around a tight corner damages insulation. A 36 inch radius horizontal bend gives the cable a gentle sweep through the 90 degree turn. Where the cable is small and flexible and space is tight, a shorter radius fitting in the same series is the better pick.

Aluminum, and it weighs 34.7 lb. That is a two-man lift into position on a 36 inch wide run but light enough to handle without rigging, and aluminum is the usual choice where corrosion resistance matters or where you want to keep dead load on the supports down. Support it per the tray run's normal spacing at each end of the fitting.

Yes. The 6A-36-90HB36 horizontal bend is CSA certified, which is what an inspector on a Canadian project will look for on the tray system.

Eaton B-Line model 6A-36-90HB36. The code reads out as 6 inch depth, aluminum, 36 inch width, 90 degree horizontal bend, 36 inch radius, which is why it is the number to put on the submittal rather than a generic description.
