B-LINE 4A-18-12-HT24 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What tray widths does the B-Line 4A-18-12-HT24 horizontal reducing tee connect?
It joins 18 inch and 12 inch tray widths, which is what makes it a reducing tee rather than a straight one. The fitting itself is listed at 18 inches wide, 4 inches high, and 36 inches in length.
2) Is this B-Line cable tray tee aluminum or steel?
Aluminum. For an electrical contractor that means lighter handling overhead and better corrosion behavior than plain steel in damp or coastal plants. The fitting weighs 26.1 lb, so it is a two-man lift at height on a 4 inch deep, 18 inch wide run.
3) Is the B-Line 4A-18-12-HT24 reducing tee UL Classified?
Yes, it carries a UL Classified marking, which is generally what a plan reviewer or facility electrical inspector is looking for on cable tray used as an equipment grounding path or in a classified installation.
4) What is the difference between a horizontal reducing tee and a straight cable tray tee?
A horizontal tee branches a run into three legs in the flat plane. The reducing version, like this Series 2-5 fitting, changes tray width across that junction, here stepping between 18 inch and 12 inch tray. If both your main run and your branch stay the same width, you want a standard horizontal tee instead; if you need the branch to drop in width, the reducing tee does it in one piece with no separate reducer plate.
5) How much space do I need to lay out this B-Line reducing tee on the drawing?
Allow 36 inches along the length of the run for the fitting body, with the 24 inch radius sweep on the branch. In a tight ceiling or above a pipe rack, that 24 inch radius is usually the constraint, not the 36 inch length.
6) What is the exact part number to order this B-Line reducing tee?
Order Eaton B-Line part number 4A-18-12-HT24. Splice plates and hardware to join the fitting to the adjoining tray sections are ordered separately from the fitting itself.
