How to Customize and Assemble QTP6X8BLK QUICK TRAY PRO™ Cable Tray

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for modifying and joining QTP6X8BLK QUICK TRAY PRO™ Cable Tray sections to create custom cable routing configurations, including precision cutting, forming bends, and assembling various connections.

Estimated time: 2h

Tools needed:

Hoffman Side Action Bolt Cutter

Supplies needed:

QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kit, QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washer, QTPUS10/QTPUS10BLK Universal Splice Bar, QTP90TKIT/QTP90TKITBLK T-Connection or 90o Splice Bar

  1. Plan Cuts and Prepare for Modification

    Before making any cuts, identify the specific wires to be removed based on the desired modification (e.g., bend, tee, width reduction) and consult the cutting patterns for your tray size. Always use the Hoffman side action bolt cutter to ensure precision cuts, minimize sharp edges that could snag cables, and help protect the new cut from corrosion. Plan your cuts carefully to eliminate the need for grinding or touch-up.

  2. Perform Precision Wire Cuts

    Begin by cutting 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 process 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 cuts are angled away from the new end. Make one clean cut for each wire to ensure a smooth finish.

  3. Create a 90-Degree Bend

    To form a 90-degree bend, cut all side and bottom wires at the desired bend location according to the specific cutting pattern for your tray width. Turn the tray on the uncut side and smoothly bend it up until the inside edges closest to the uncut side meet. Secure the bend by fastening at the indicated locations with QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kits and QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washers, ensuring they are appropriate for your tray width.

  4. Join Tray Sections for Elbows or Tees

    For elbows or tees, cut the side wires from the respective tray sections according to the specific cutting patterns provided for your desired configuration and tray width. Align the cut wires of the two trays at the desired angle. Fasten the joint using two QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kits and QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washers for each joint. For adjustable elbows, use one splice kit and one splice washer centered over two tray bottom wires.
