B-LINE 4A-24-18-HT36 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What tray widths does the B-Line 4A-24-18-HT36 reducing tee connect?
It joins 24 inch and 18 inch tray widths. That is the whole point of a reducing tee: the run comes in at one width and the branch leaves at the other, so you don't need a separate reducer fitting plus a straight tee. Confirm which leg on your layout is the 24 inch side before you set it.
2) What is the bend radius on this B-Line horizontal tee, and will it suit large power cable?
36 inch radius. The larger radius is what you want where big-diameter power conductors turn, since the fitting itself keeps the cable above its minimum bending radius through the branch. If your cable schedule allows a tighter turn, a shorter-radius tee will save you overhead space instead.
3) How much space do I need to allow for a 36 inch radius 24 to 18 inch cable tray tee?
Allow 51 inches of length and 24 inches of width for the fitting footprint, with a 4 inch side rail height. On a horizontal tee that 51 inches is what governs whether the fitting clears walls, columns and other trays in the ceiling space, so lay it out on the drawing before you commit to the branch location.
4) Is this B-Line tee aluminum or steel, and does that matter for my install?
Aluminum. It matters in two ways on the job: aluminum is the usual choice for corrosive or wash-down areas and outdoor runs where painted steel would need coating maintenance, and it is lighter to hoist into position. If your tray run is steel, stay with steel fittings rather than mixing metals at the joint.
5) What does this cable tray reducing tee weigh for rigging and support spacing?
30.958 lb for the fitting itself, before any cable load. That is a one-man lift but an awkward one at 51 inches long, so plan a support hanger close to each leg of the tee rather than cantilevering it off the straight run.
6) Do I need a separate reducer if I use this tee to drop from 24 inch to 18 inch tray?
No. The reduction is built into the fitting, so the 24 inch run ties straight into 18 inch tray at the branch with no additional reducer section in between. You still need the splice plates and hardware appropriate to the tray series at each connection point.
7) Which cable tray series does the 4A-24-18-HT36 fitting belong to?
It is a Series 2-5 horizontal reducing tee from the Eaton B-Line imperial cable tray and ladder line. Order fittings from the same series as your straight sections so the rail profile and splice hole pattern line up at the joint.
8) Is a horizontal tee the right fitting, or should I use a cross or an elbow?
Use the horizontal tee where one run branches into one other direction in the same plane, which is the case at most riser drops and panel feeds. If cable has to leave in two opposite directions from the same point, that is a cross. If the run simply changes direction with no branch, use a horizontal elbow. This particular fitting also handles the width change from 24 inch to 18 inch at the same time.
9) Does this Eaton B-Line cable tray tee carry any certification marking?
CE marked. That is the only marking stated for the 4A-24-18-HT36 tee, and it is the one that matters on European-specified projects.
