B-LINE 4A-06-09-HT12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What tray widths does the B-Line 4A-06-09-HT12 expanding tee connect?
The 4A-06-09-HT12 is a Series 2-5 horizontal expanding tee built for 6 inch and 9 inch tray widths. The branch expands between those two widths, so it is the fitting to use where a 6 inch run tees into a 9 inch section (or the reverse) rather than a straight equal-width tee.
2) Is this B-Line tee aluminum or steel, and can it go outdoors?
Aluminum. That is the usual choice for corrosive and outdoor runs because it will not rust the way plain or painted steel does, and it cuts the dead load on the supports. If your specification calls for hot dip galvanized or stainless steel tray fittings, this aluminum tee is not a substitute.
3) Is this B-Line cable tray tee approved for Canadian jobs?
It carries a CSA certification, which is the listing Canadian inspectors look for on cable tray fittings.
4) What are the overall dimensions of the B-Line 4A-06-09-HT12 tee for layout purposes?
It measures 18 x 6 x 4 inches (length/depth 18 in, width 6 in, height 4 in), with a 12 inch radius on the turn. Use the 18 inch dimension when you are laying out the straight tray lengths either side of the tee so you do not end up cutting a section in the field.
5) Do I need a horizontal tee or a vertical fitting where my cable tray branches?
Use a horizontal tee like this one when the branch runs off to the side in the same plane as the main run, which is the typical ceiling level branch. If the tray has to drop or rise to another elevation, that is a vertical elbow or vertical tee instead, and this fitting will not do it. This particular unit is the horizontal expanding version, meaning the branch changes tray width from 6 inch to 9 inch.
6) How much does the B-Line 4A-06-09-HT12 expanding tee weigh for a one-man overhead install?
11.135 lb. Light enough for one installer to set on a ladder, though most crews will want a second hand to hold the branch while the splice plates are bolted up.
7) What is the exact part number to order this B-Line expanding tee?
Order Eaton B-Line part 4A-06-09-HT12. Reading the number: 4 inch depth, 6 inch to 9 inch widths, horizontal tee, 12 inch radius, aluminum.
