Eaton 6A-18-45HB24 Horizontal Bend - CE UL CSA
Part Number: 6A-18-45HB24
Quick Summary
Eaton B-Line series horizontal bend enables precise 45° cable tray routing for vertical-to-horizontal transitions in electrical enclosures and process plants. The primary challenge engineers face is aligning trays in tight spaces without introducing stress on cables or excessive installation time. This part carries CE, UL Classified, and CSA certifications, providing confidence in global compliance and safety. Made from aluminum for lightweight strength, it supports a 24 in radius and a 28.5 in length with a compact 6 in by 18 in footprint. Integrating this bend reduces field labor, improves airflow, and preserves cable integrity, while ensuring compatibility with Eaton B-Line and Series 2-5 cable management systems.
