Cable tray vertical upper right tee

A cable tray upper right tee is a fitting that allows a cable tray run to branch at a right angle upward to the right, enabling flexible routing in complex installations.

Function and Application

A cable tray upper right tee is used to split or redirect cable runs in electrical systems, particularly when a branch needs to rise at a right angle from the main tray. It is commonly used in ladder, perforated, or solid-bottom cable tray systems to maintain organized cable management while navigating corners or vertical transitions .

Types and Configurations

• Equal Tee: Both branches have the same width, suitable for symmetrical cable distribution .
• Unequal Tee: Branch widths differ, allowing for different cable capacities on each path .
• Vertical Tee Up: Specifically designed for upward branching, often referred to as an upper right tee in ladder tray systems .
• Adjustable or Swage Tees: Some systems offer adjustable connectors for non-standard angles or tight spaces .

Materials and Finishes

Cable tray tees are available in various materials to suit environmental and load requirements:

• Mild steel pre-galvanized (PG)
• Hot-dip galvanized steel (HDG)
• Stainless steel grade 1.4404 (316L)
• Aluminum for lightweight applications

Sizing

Widths typically range from 50mm to 900mm, with depth and radius options depending on the tray system. Part numbers often encode width, depth, and finish for easy identification (e.g., CTUT 25/0300/0150/PG), .

Installation Considerations

• Ensure the tee aligns with the main tray and branch direction.
• Use appropriate fasteners and connectors for the material and load rating.
• Maintain proper support spacing to prevent sagging or stress on cables.
• Consider covers or ventilated options to protect cables and comply with safety standards .
