B-LINE 6A-12-36-HT12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size cable tray does the B-Line 6A-12-36-HT12 horizontal expanding tee connect?
The Eaton B-Line 6A-12-36-HT12 is a Series 2-5 horizontal expanding tee built for 12 inch and 36 inch tray widths, so it takes a 12 inch run into a branch at the wider 36 inch width (or the reverse). Side rail height is 6 inches. If your run is a constant width, an expanding tee is the wrong fitting for you.
2) What is the bend radius on this B-Line expanding tee, and does it matter for my cable?
It's a 12 inch radius fitting. That matters because cable manufacturers specify a minimum bending radius, and the fitting radius has to meet or beat it. If your conductors call for more than 12 inches of bend radius, you need a larger radius tee, not this one.
3) Is the B-Line 6A-12-36-HT12 tee aluminum or steel?
Aluminum. That keeps the weight down for overhead work (the fitting itself is 19.19 lb) and matters if you are matching an existing aluminum tray run, since mixing aluminum fittings onto a steel tray run creates a dissimilar metal contact at the splice.
4) How much space do I need to lay out this horizontal tee in a ceiling run?
Plan for a footprint of 21 inches in length/depth by 12 inches wide, with a 6 inch side rail height, plus the 12 inch turning radius for the branch. Confirm hanger locations clear the fitting before you set your trapeze supports.
5) Does this Eaton B-Line cable tray tee carry any agency listing for a Canadian job?
It carries a CSA certification, which is what a Canadian inspector will be looking for on cable tray fittings. No other listing is claimed for it.
6) What exactly do I order to get this B-Line tee, and is the hardware included?
Order by the Eaton B-Line part number 6A-12-36-HT12. The part supplied is the aluminum expanding tee fitting itself; splice plates and connection hardware that join it to the adjoining tray sections are ordered separately to match your Series 2-5 tray.
