B-LINE 4A-18-06-HX12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What tray widths does the B-Line 4A-18-06-HX12 horizontal cross connect?
The 4A-18-06-HX12 is a Series 2-5 horizontal cross built for 18 inch and 6 inch tray widths. That means the run legs take 18 inch tray and the branch legs take 6 inch tray, so it is the fitting to use where a narrow 6 inch branch crosses a main 18 inch run. If both your branches are 18 inch, this is the wrong part number.
2) What are the dimensions and weight of this B-Line aluminum cable tray cross?
Dimensions are 48 inches length, 18 inches width and 4 inches height, and it weighs 16.17 lb. The 4 inch figure is the side rail height, so pair it with 4 inch deep tray sections. The 48 inch length is what you need to allow for at the intersection when you lay out hanger and support spacing on either side of the cross.
3) Is this cable tray cross aluminum or steel, and will it hold up outdoors or in a corrosive area?
Aluminum. That is the usual choice for wastewater, coastal, chemical and other damp or corrosive environments where painted or galvanized steel tray gives trouble, and it keeps the weight down for overhead work at 16.17 lb for the fitting. Keep the hardware and supports compatible with aluminum to avoid dissimilar metal issues.
4) Does the B-Line 4A-18-06-HX12 cross carry any agency certification for a Canadian job?
It is CSA certified, which is what an inspector on a Canadian project will look for on tray fittings. That is the only agency listing carried on this fitting.
5) When do I use a horizontal cross instead of a horizontal tee in a cable tray run?
Use a cross where the main run continues straight through and branches leave on both sides at the same point, giving four legs. A tee is the three leg fitting, for a branch leaving one side only. The 4A-18-06-HX12 is the four way version sized for an 18 inch main with 6 inch branches on a 12 inch radius. Buy the tee instead if only one branch is leaving, otherwise you are blanking off a leg for no reason.
6) Do I need to order splice plates separately for this B-Line tray cross?
Plan on it. The 4A-18-06-HX12 is the cross fitting itself, 48 inches overall with 18 inch and 6 inch legs. Each of the four connection points to adjoining tray or fitting needs splice plates and hardware, and supports on either side of the intersection, ordered as separate line items.
