How to Modify and Join QUICK TRAY PRO Cable Tray Sections

This guide provides instructions for cutting, bending, and joining QUICK TRAY PRO cable tray sections, including the QTP4X16 model, to create custom cable management configurations.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Hoffman side action bolt cutter (QTPBC)

Supplies needed:

QUICK TRAY PRO Cable Tray sections, Splice Kits (QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK), Splice Washers (QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK), Universal Splice Bars (QTPUS10/QTPUS10BLK), T-Connection or 90o Splice Bars (QTP90TKIT/QTP90TKITBLK)

  1. Prepare for Cable Tray Modification

    Always use the Hoffman side action bolt cutter (QTPBC) for precise cuts that minimize sharp edges and help protect against corrosion. Review the cutting pattern for your specific tray size and desired modification (e.g., bend, tee) to identify which wires must be removed.

  2. Execute Precision Wire Cuts

    Starting with the top side wire, position the bolt cutter jaws on the cradle wire and make the cut at an angle away from the new end. Repeat this for all remaining side wires. Turn the tray over and cut the bottom wires from the underside, ensuring the cutting jaws rest on the cradle wire and cut at an angle away from the new end. Make one clean cut to eliminate grinding or touch-up.

  3. Form a 90-Degree Bend

    At the desired bend location, cut all side and bottom wires according to the specific cutting pattern for your tray width. Turn the tray on the uncut side and smoothly bend it until the inside edges closest to the uncut side meet. Secure the bend using QTPBNWK Splice Kits and QTPSSW3 Splice Washers, fastening them at the indicated locations for your tray width.

  4. Join Cable Tray Sections

    Align the wires of the two tray sections at the desired angle or configuration (e.g., straight, elbow, tee). Fasten the sections together using QTPBNWK Splice Kits and QTPSSW3 Splice Washers. For enhanced support or specific configurations like tees or elbows, incorporate QTPUS10 Universal Splice Bars or QTP90TKIT T-Connection Splice Bars as needed, securing them with additional splice kits and washers.

  5. Install Cable Tray Supports

    Install straight section supports at typical 6-foot (1.5m) centers. Ensure supports are placed within 24 inches (610mm) of any splice on straight sections. The span between supports must not exceed the length of the tray. Provide additional supports around bends and wherever the cable tray level changes to maintain stability.
