supported within a maximum of 600 mm from joint on each side of expansion joint.
Ladder shall be anchored at Horizonlal and vertical Bends and at the aoDroximate
mid-point between expansion joint.
- No more than one splice shall be located between two adjacent suppods
- lt is important that thermal contraction and expansion be considered when installing
cable t€y systems The length of the straight cable tray run and the temperature
differential govern the numbef ofexpansion splice plates required
b) Cable Ladder Hinged Splice Assembly
For changes tray direction adjuslable hinged splice plates can be use Supports

Vertical Cable Tray Elbows
C Vertical cable tray elbows at the top of runs should be supported at each end At the
bottom of runs, they should be at the top of the elbow and within 600mm of the lower
extremity of the elbows.
Vertical Elbow (lnside) - An Inside vertical Elbow is a tray / ladder Section which
Changes direction upward from the Horizontal Plane
b- Vertical Elbow (Outside) - An outside Vertical elbow |s a lray / ladder section which
changes Direction Downward from lhe Horizontal Plane
Due to field requirements there may need to modiry cable tray, as such the following
activities might be required.
. l\4arking
Using a square ruler that reaches across the width of the cable tray, gauge off the edge of
one side rail and mark both flanges. Next, position the square ruler down the side face of
the tray and mark the web of the rail. Marking can be done with a scribe, marking
pen, of a pencil. Pefmanent markers shall not be used so not to stain appearance

The cut can be made using a hand held hack saw, carbide tipped circular saw, hand-held
band saw, offset bolt cutters or high speed grinder. lt is important to achieve a square cut
to ensure a good splice connection. After cutting, be sure cut edges are smooth and to
remove any DUrs.
. Drilling
Holes for splice plates shall be ddlied in field-cut cable t.ays. The most common
method of locating the hole positions is to use a splice plate as a template. Drill
jigsaw shall be made available. A shorl piece of side rail that is punched with the
(-- standard factory hole pattern can be bolted to lhe splice plate to serve as a stop that
rests against the end of the field-cut side rail. Clamp the splice plate to the rail and
drill through the splice plate holes and the side rail. The correct drill size is dependent
on the hardware supplied with the cable tray l\4atch the holes that exist in the cable
tray. After drilling, remove burrs.
