Overview

The nVent Quick Tray Pro C-Bracket (SKU: QTPCB8) is a robust steel component designed for overhead cable management installations. Measuring 8.00x1.00x8.00 inches, this C-bracket features a light gray, corrosion-resistant plated finish, ensuring durability in industrial and commercial environments. It provides essential support for the nVent Quick Tray Pro cable management system, particularly for installations under ceilings or overhangs where direct wall mounting is not feasible. The QTPCB8 facilitates secure suspension of cable trays, maintaining a stable and organized pathway. It is optimized for use with Quick Tray Pro cable trays up to 12 inches (305 mm) wide. Securing the tray requires specific nVent hardware: one QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washer and one QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kit for trays up to 8 inches (203 mm), or two sets for 12-inch (305-mm) trays. This bracket supports multi-level installations, enabling efficient use of vertical space. Its snap-on attachment mechanism simplifies installation, reducing labor time. Key features include durable steel construction, corrosion resistance, versatile overhead mounting, seamless system integration, and simplified installation. Professionals rely on nVent for quality cable management solutions.

How to Install and Modify QUICK TRAY PRO Cable Tray

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for cutting, bending, and connecting sections of QUICK TRAY PRO Cable Tray to create custom cable management installations.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Hoffman Side Action Bolt Cutter

Supplies needed:

Splice Kits (QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK), Splice Washers (QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK), Universal Splice Bars (QTPUS10/QTPUS10BLK), T-Connection Splice Bars (QTP90TKIT/QTP90TKITBLK)

  1. Prepare the Tray for Cutting

    Decide which wires must be cut based on your desired configuration. When cutting for a bend, always review the cutting pattern for the tray size and desired bend before cutting. Red areas on the drawings in the manual indicate wires to be removed.

  2. Execute Tray Cuts

    Always use the Hoffman side action bolt cutter to ensure precision cuts and minimize sharp edges. Starting with the top side wire, position the cutting jaws on the cradle wire and make the cut at an angle away from the new end. Cut the remaining side wires, remembering to rest the cutting jaws on the cradle wire and cut at an angle away from the new end. Turn the tray over and cut the bottom wires from the underside, always resting the cutting jaws on the cradle wire and cutting 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 wires for the width of the cable tray as indicated in the cutting patterns provided in the manual. Turn the tray on the uncut side and smoothly bend the tray up until the inside edges closest to the uncut side meet. Secure the bend by fastening with QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kits and QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washers at the indicated locations for the tray width.

  4. Join Tray Sections with Splice Kits

    Align the wires of the two tray sections at the desired angle (e.g., for elbows or tees). Fasten the tray sections together using QTPBNWK/QTPBNWKBLK Splice Kits and QTPSSW3/QTPSSW3BLK Splice Washers. For a standard joint, use two splice kits and washers per joint. For adjustable angles, use one splice kit and washer, centered, ensuring each splice washer covers two tray bottom wires.
