B-LINE 4A-30-12-HT36 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What tray widths does the B-Line 4A-30-12-HT36 reducing tee connect?
The 4A-30-12-HT36 is a horizontal reducing tee sized for 30 inch and 12 inch tray widths. That is the whole point of a reducing tee: the run stays at 30 inches and the branch drops to 12 inches, so you do not need a separate reducer plus a straight tee. If both of your legs are the same width, this is the wrong fitting.
2) Is the B-Line 4A-30-12-HT36 cable tray tee aluminum or steel?
Aluminum. It weighs 35.51 lb, which is what makes a 30 inch wide, 36 inch radius fitting something a two-man crew can set on trapeze hangers overhead without rigging. Aluminum also matters if you are running tray outdoors or in a damp process area where a painted steel fitting would need coating maintenance. Splice hardware and grounding practice should follow the aluminum tray system it is joining, not a steel one.
3) How much room do I need to allow for the B-Line 30 inch reducing tee in the ceiling space?
Plan for a footprint of 54 inches long by 30 inches wide by 4 inches deep. On a 36 inch radius fitting the sweep is what eats the space, so the 54 inch dimension is the one that catches people out when the tee lands near a wall, a duct drop, or a beam. Lay it out on the coordination drawing before the hangers go in.
4) Do splice plates and hardware come with the B-Line 4A-30-12-HT36 tee?
What you are ordering is the horizontal reducing tee fitting itself, model 4A-30-12-HT36, in aluminum. Splice plates, bolts, and hangers for a cable tray run are ordered separately and need to suit the 4 inch rail depth and the aluminum tray series you are tying into. Budget hardware for three connection points on a tee, not two.
5) Should I use a reducing tee or a straight tee with a separate reducer?
A reducing tee like the 4A-30-12-HT36 handles the width change and the branch in one piece, taking a 30 inch run to a 12 inch branch. Going the other way, a straight tee plus a reducer, adds a joint, adds hanger points, and stretches the run length. Use the straight tee only when the branch is the same width as the run or when your reducer has to sit some distance down the branch.
