Overview

Optimize vertical cable management with the nVent LST12 12-inch Overhead Stack Kit. This kit, manufactured by nVent (SKU: LST12), is constructed from heavy plated steel for superior strength and corrosion resistance. It allows for stacking any width of ladder rack runways 12 inches (305 mm) above each other, effectively maximizing overhead space in industrial and commercial facilities. Each kit includes two complete stacking brackets and all necessary mounting hardware, ensuring a secure and reliable installation. The plated steel construction of both brackets and fasteners provides long-term durability. For optimal support and load distribution, it is recommended to use one kit at least every 5 feet (1.5 meters) of ladder rack. The LST12 is designed for compatibility with various nVent cable management accessories, facilitating comprehensive system integration. Its plated finish ensures consistent material performance and resistance to environmental factors. This stack kit is ideal for applications requiring efficient cable pathway organization, such as data centers, telecommunications, and manufacturing plants.

How to Install the LST12 Cable Runway Ladder Rack System

This guide provides instructions for installing the LST12 cable runway ladder rack system. Please refer to the product's nameplate or datasheet for specific ratings, dimensions, voltages, strip lengths, torques, or ranges.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Measuring tape, Level, Drill, Wrench set, Safety glasses

Supplies needed:

Mounting hardware (e.g., bolts, nuts, washers), Cable runway sections, Support brackets, Splice kits

  1. Plan the Layout

    Determine the desired path for the cable runway. Measure the total length required and identify mounting points. Ensure the path avoids obstructions and meets all installation requirements. Consult the datasheet for any specific clearance or load-bearing guidelines.

  2. Install Support Structures

    Install the necessary support structures (e.g., ceiling supports, wall brackets, triangle supports) at the planned mounting points. Use appropriate hardware for the mounting surface. Ensure all supports are level and securely fastened. Refer to the specific support kit instructions for detailed mounting procedures.

  3. Assemble Runway Sections

    Connect individual cable runway sections using the appropriate splice kits (e.g., Butt Splice Kit, Junction Splice Kit). Follow the instructions provided with the splice kit to ensure a secure and continuous runway. Ensure all connections are tight and aligned.

  4. Mount the Cable Runway

    Attach the assembled cable runway sections to the installed support structures. Use the provided hardware to secure the runway to the supports. Ensure the runway is level and stable throughout its length.

  5. Install Accessories (if applicable)

    Install any necessary accessories such as radius drops, end caps, or termination kits according to their specific instructions. These components help manage cable bends and protect the runway ends.

  6. Final Inspection and Cable Loading

    Perform a final inspection of the entire installation to ensure all components are securely fastened and the runway is properly aligned. Once confirmed, cables can be carefully loaded onto the runway. Do not exceed the weight capacity specified on the product's nameplate or datasheet.
