B-LINE 6A-12-45VI12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a 45 degree vertical inside bend used for on a cable tray run?
A vertical inside bend changes the elevation of a tray run where the fitting sits on the inside of the angle, so the tray climbs or drops 45 degrees while the rungs stay continuous through the turn. The B-Line 6A-12-45VI12 is the aluminum Series 2-5 version, built for a 12 inch wide tray at a 6 inch loading depth. If your run turns the other way, with the fitting on the outside of the angle, you need a vertical outside bend instead, not this part.
2) What radius is this B-Line vertical bend, and why does it matter for cable bending radius?
The fitting is formed on a 12 inch radius. That radius is what governs whether your conductors stay within their allowable bending radius through the elevation change, so large power cable with a stiff jacket is the reason to confirm the 12 inch figure against the cable manufacturer's minimum before you set the run. Overall the piece measures 17.982 inches in length.
3) Is this cable tray bend aluminum or steel, and how much does it weigh?
Aluminum, weighing 8.1 pounds. That is light enough for a single electrician to set and bolt overhead off a lift, and aluminum is the usual choice where weight on the support structure matters or where a coastal or damp environment would attack plain steel.
4) How much space do I need to allow for this 45 degree tray bend between straight sections?
Allow for a fitting 17.982 inches long, 12 inches wide and 6 inches high, turning through 45 degrees on a 12 inch radius. Lay that out on the elevation before you cut your straight lengths, since trimming a tray section is far easier than moving a support after the fact.
5) What exact part number should I order for a B-Line aluminum 12 inch 45 degree vertical inside bend?
The manufacturer part number is 6A-12-45VI12, an Eaton B-Line Series 2-5 imperial cable tray fitting. Reading the code: 6 inch rail depth, aluminum, 12 inch width, 45 degree vertical inside, 12 inch radius.
