FAQs
The 6A-42-30HB12 is designed to fit seamlessly within Eaton’s B-Line series cable tray ecosystem, matching standard dimensions and connection methods. Its 12 in radius and 30° bend ensure consistent geometry across bends, reducing misalignment and the need for custom fittings. This compatibility simplifies project kickoff and accelerates site fabrication for industrial wiring and automation layouts.
This bend carries CE, UL Classified, and CSA certifications, signaling compliance with European, North American, and broader industrial safety standards. For projects with strict regulatory requirements, these certifications streamline approvals, QA reviews, and supplier qualification. Using certified components also supports traceability and risk mitigation during commissioning.
Constructed from aluminum, the bend offers corrosion resistance and a lightweight profile beneficial for many indoor-to- semi-outdoor applications. While the data confirms aluminum material and standard certifications, verify environmental exposure and any additional coatings or sealants required for prolonged outdoor use. For typical indoor industrial settings, it provides durable service with easier handling during install.
Leverage its standardized B-Line geometry and the bend’s lightweight 8.5 lb profile to minimize crew fatigue and reduce handling time. Plan with the 34.24 in depth and 42 in width to align trays prior to fastening, and use compatible fittings like KwikSplice or Redi-Rail universal fittings to speed assembly. Pre-checks with the corresponding datasheets boost on-site efficiency.
Using standardized Eaton B-Line bends reduces the number of custom-fabricated parts, cuts installation labor, and shortens project timelines. The combination of lightweight aluminum, certified compliance, and compatible accessories translates to lower field rework, improved system reliability, and faster commissioning—delivering tangible cost savings over the life cycle of industrial wiring and cable management projects.
