How to Install and Modify QUICK TRAY PRO™ Cable Tray Sections

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for cutting, bending, and connecting QUICK TRAY PRO™ cable tray sections to create custom cable routing solutions for various installations.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

QTPBC Side Action Bolt Cutter, Measuring tape, Marker

Supplies needed:

QUICK TRAY PRO™ Cable Tray sections, QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kits, QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washers, QTPUS10/QTPUS10BLK Universal Splice Bars, QTP90TKIT/QTP90TKITBLK T-Connection or 90o Splice Bar, Cable tray supports (e.g., straight section supports)

  1. Plan Cable Tray Layout

    Determine the required cable tray configuration, including straight runs, bends, elbows, and tees. Refer to the manual's cutting patterns and diagrams for specific modifications and dimensions needed for your installation.

  2. Cut Cable Tray Sections

    Always use the Hoffman side action bolt cutter (QTPBC) to make precision cuts on the cable tray. Position the cutting jaws on the cradle wire and make the cut at an angle away from the new end to minimize sharp edges and protect against corrosion. Cut the top side wire first, then the remaining side wires, and finally turn the tray over to cut the bottom wires from the underside. Ensure each cut is clean to avoid grinding or touch-up.

  3. Form Bends and Junctions

    To create 90-degree bends, large radius bends, elbows, or tees, cut the tray wires according to the specific patterns provided in the manual for your desired configuration and tray width. Bend the tray smoothly as instructed. Secure all bends and junctions using QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kits and QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washers at the indicated fastening points. Utilize QTPUS10 Universal Splice Bars or QTP90TKIT T-Connection Splice Bars for additional support or specific junction types as needed, cutting them to fit if necessary.

  4. Connect Tray Sections

    Join straight or modified tray sections by aligning them precisely. Fasten the tray sections together using QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kits and QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washers. Ensure that each splice washer is positioned over two tray bottom wires where applicable to provide secure connections.

  5. Install Supports for Cable Tray

    Install straight section supports at typical 6-foot (1.5m) centers along the cable tray run. Position supports within 24 inches (610mm) of any splice on straight sections. The span between supports should not exceed the length of the tray section. Add additional supports around all bends and wherever the cable tray level changes to ensure the stability and integrity of the entire installation.
