Channel trayIntroduction

Increased adaptability

A major advantage of channel trayis its adaptability. Modification ofthe system is easy because cables canenter or exit a tray at any point.

Channel tray is often used to providesupport to smaller cable runs from alarger cable ladder or perforatedcable tray system.

Channel tray can be easily affixedto larger systems, and is revised orexpanded simply without disruptionor the need to replace the entirecable management system.

Enhanced safety

Channel tray proves much safer thanconduit installation, with lower riskof exposure to live, energised parts.

In a channel tray system, cables canbe pulled from near one terminationenclosure to the next before beingconnected, rather than being pulledthrough the conduit after the cableis terminated.

Low maintenance

The simplicity of the channel traysystem ensures installation andmaintenance routines can beconducted quickly and effortlessly.

When maintenance is necessary, itrequires less labour and time thanalternative cabling solutions.

First class support

Thomas & Betts combines globalmarket leadership with local product& technical support, either throughour network of distributors, or viaour T&B sales office in Dubai and ourproduction facility at Dammam.

Extensive product range

T&B channel tray offers a completesystem including straight sections,fittings, covers and accessories foroptimum versatility when planningcable runs.

Components are available in a rangeof materials to cover the variety ofinstallation requirements across theMiddle East.

Reduced costs

Reliability, adaptability and ease ofmaintenance are some of the manybenefits of channel tray whichdeliver savings during installationand over the lifetime of the system.

Straightforward installation ensurescosts are reduced considerablycompared to the time needed topull cables through conduit.

High adaptability permits rapidsystem adjustment, ensuringdowntime is kept to a minimum inelectrical and data handling systems.

Channel tray bottom types

Solid channel tray is offered in all widths (1 1/2”, 3”, 4”, 6”), and includesconnector holes at each end for attachment of fittings or other straightsections via a splice plate.

3”, 4” and 6” ventilated channel tray includes burr free oblong punchedholes for easy access. Ty-Rap® slots are provided between each openingfor securing and maintaining air space between cables. Ty-Rap® slots areprovided at intervals in 1 1/2” ventilated tray.

Note: fittings supplied in solid bottom type only.

Thomas & Betts channel tray isavailable in four material typesand two tray bottom types, formaximum versatility.

Aluminium (to 6063 T6)

Aluminium 6063 T6 alloy for lightweight construction, excellent corrosionresistance, and high strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminium channel tray offerssimple installation and low maintenance.

Pre-galvanized steel (to BS EN 10142 & BS EN 10143)

Steel is ideal as a high strength, low cost material for channel tray.

Pre-galvanized steel tray is produced by passing the low-carbon steel throughmolten zinc before fabrication, and is generally recommended for indoorcommercial applications rather than outdoor or industrial environments.

Hot dip galvanized steel (to BS EN ISO 1461)

Hot dip galvanized steel tray is produced by immersing the fabricated tray inmolten zinc, creating a much thicker coating than pre-galvanized. Thisprocess is recommended for most outdoor and harsh industrial applications.

Stainless steel (to AISI Type 316 or 304)

Stainless steel offers high strength and high resistance to chemicals, evenat high ambient temperatures. T&B stainless steel channel tray is roll-formedfrom AISI Type 316 stainless steel, as standard, with Type 304 stainless steelavailable to special order.

Channel tray Fittings


Fittings enable a channel tray system to change direction orelevation in order to meet building design and cable run constraints.

The channel tray range of fittings includes:

� Horizontal bends � Vertical inside bends

� Vertical outside bends � Horizontal tees

� Horizontal crosses

The most important decision to be made in fitting design concerns radius.

Selection of the most appropriate radius requires a compromise with theconsiderations being available space, minimum bending radius of cables,ease of cable pulling, and cost.

Whether horizontal or vertical application, a standard radius of either12” or 24” is available, with options for zero (non-radius), or custom sizesgreater than 24” to special order.

The typical radius specified in channel tray installations is 24”.

Vertical outside bends enablethe channel tray system tochange direction, downwardsto a different plane.

Horizontal tees and crossesenable joins to be made in thechannel tray system at 90ºangles, in the same plane.

Horizontal bends enablethe channel tray systemto change direction in thesame plane.

Vertical inside bends enablethe channel tray system tochange direction, upwardsto a different plane.

Channel trayFittings


Product selection - fittings

Fitting part numbers are based on a range of selection criteria, dependenton the type of fitting and the role undertaken in the channel tray system.

For product ordering, specifiers should choose the appropriate componentpart from the lists shown in the tables below and create a specific partnumber following the example shown.

Horizontal and vertical bends are available with standard angles of 30°,45°, 60° and 90°. When a standard angle is not suitable, field fittings oradjustable splice plates can be used. It may be necessary to add supportsto the tray at these points (our range of accessories and Superstrut® isshown on pages 10 to 14).

Refer to NEMA VE-2 Installation Guidelines for suggested support locationsfor fittings.

Solid flanged cover

Solid covers provide maximum mechanical protection for cables which havelimited heat build up, and include a 1/2” flange for secure positioning abovethe channel tray.

Solid cover for fittings

Covers for fittings (bends, tees and crosses) are available in solid cover typeonly and include a 1/2” flange for secure positioning above the channel tray.

Note: cover mounting hardware must be ordered separately for allcover types.

Tray covers are available for all channel tray widths and materialtypes, in solid style for both straight sections and fittings.

Covers provide mechanical protection to cable runs and should beinstalled where falling objects may damage cables, or where verticaltray run is accessible by pedestrian or vehicular traffic.

Product selection - covers

Cover part numbers are based on a range of selection criteria, dependent on the type of cover required, and the needto cover straight sections or fittings.

On the following page, the selection criteria for each cover type is established in table form.
