How to Install and Customize QUICK TRAY PRO™ Cable Tray Systems
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for cutting, bending, joining, and supporting QUICK TRAY PRO™ cable tray sections to create a custom cable management system.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Hoffman side action bolt cutter (QTPBC)
Supplies needed:
Splice Kits (QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK), Splice Washers (QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK), Universal Splice Bars (QTPUS10/QTPUS10BLK), T-Connection or 90-degree Splice Bars (QTP90TKIT/QTP90TKITBLK)
- Plan Your Cable Tray Layout
Before cutting or bending, determine the required configuration, including straight runs, bends, elbows, tees, and level changes. Review the cutting patterns for your specific tray size and desired modifications to ensure proper fit and function.
- Cut Cable Tray Sections
Use the Hoffman side action bolt cutter to make precise cuts. First, decide which wires must be cut according to your layout plan. Position the cutting jaws on the cradle wire and make angled cuts away from the new end for all side wires, starting with the top. Then, turn the tray over and cut the bottom wires from the underside, resting the jaws on the cradle wire and cutting at an angle. Ensure one clean cut to eliminate grinding or touch-up and help protect against corrosion.
- Create 90-Degree Bends
At the desired bend location, cut all side and bottom wires as indicated in 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 using Splice Kits (QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK) and Splice Washers (QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK) at the specified locations for the tray width to maintain structural integrity.
- Form Large Radius Bends
For large radius bends, remove wires from the outside and bottom of every other mesh section at the bend location, following the provided cutting pattern for your tray size. Lay the tray on a flat surface and pull the ends on the uncut side towards each other until the remaining cut sides almost touch at the corners. Fasten the inside of the bends together using the appropriate hardware as shown in the diagrams.
- Assemble Elbows
To create an elbow, cut side wires from each of the two tray sections according to the specific cutting pattern for the desired angle and tray width. Align the wires of the two trays at the desired angle. Fasten the joint using two Splice Kits (QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK) and Splice Washers (QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK) for each joint. For adjustable angles, use one Splice Kit and one Splice Washer, centered over two tray bottom wires, ensuring each splice washer covers two bottom wires.
- Construct 90-Degree Tees
Cut the side wires from the tray section that will form the top of the tee, following the cutting guide for your tray size. Align the wires of the two tray sections to form a 90-degree angle. Fasten the connection using a T-Connection or 90-degree Splice Bar (QTP90TKIT/QTP90TKITBLK) along with Splice Kits (QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK) and Splice Washers (QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK) as indicated for the tray size for each joint. This provides extra support and stability.
- Reduce Tray Width
To reduce the tray width, cut the side and bottom wires as shown in the cutting guides for the desired reduction (e.g., four or eight inches). Connect the uncut side of the trays using a Universal Splice Bar (QTPUS10/QTPUS10BLK) with appropriate fasteners. Bend the cut wires of each tray and use a Universal Splice Bar with fasteners on each pair of tray wires to secure the reduced width section, ensuring a stable transition.
- Change Tray Levels
To navigate obstacles or change elevation, remove every other side wire section at the bend location from both sides of the tray. The number of removed side wire sections determines the radius of the bend. Smoothly bend the tray up or down to achieve the desired level change, ensuring the bend is gradual and does not stress the remaining wires.
- Support the Cable Tray System
Install straight section supports at 6-foot (1.5m) centers. Ensure supports are placed within 24 inches (610mm) of any splice on straight sections, and the span between supports does not exceed the length of the tray. Provide additional supports around all bends and wherever the cable tray level changes to maintain stability, prevent sagging, and ensure the long-term integrity of the cable management system.
