V-TROUGH

INSTALLATIONS

Cutting straight seCtions

V-Trough can be cut to length with a reciprocating saw ﬁtted with a ﬁne metal cutting blade. Mark three sides of the tray using a square and make allowances to keep mounting hole slots in position for splicing to other straight sections or ﬁttings. Use a ﬂat ﬁle to remove all rough edges. Cover sections can be modiﬁed in the same way.

Cutting straight seCtions for elevation Changes

Cut only the sides of the tray for changes in cable pathway elevations. Make a 90 degree cut in both sides of the tray for a downward bend. For an upward bend, make a double cut to form a notch. The notch should be sized to ﬁt the tray angle needed. Then, using a straight edge, form the tray to the proper angles.

INSTALLATIONS

sPliCing straight seCtions and fittings

To splice straight sections of V-Trough use the FTEF. The FTEF has attachment hardware included and should be used when splicing V-Trough straight sections or ﬁttings.

attaChing to wall or floor suPPorts

Securing tray to supports is easy. For attachment to the FAS U or CS series support, use the FTFCL. It simply snaps in place. Another option is the FTHDCL Tray Hold Down Clip. Both allow a cover to be used.

traPeze suPPorts

For trapeze mounting, two options are available: The FTCH Center Hanger requires only a single threaded rod. The FTAS Trapeze Hanging Clip requires two 3/8" threaded rods, but allows cables to be side loaded. Folding tabs secure tray to supports.

sPliCing tees, reduCtions and level Changes

The FTUS is a versatile splice that can be used to construct tees, reductions and elevation changes. Use with EZ BN 1/4 bolt/nut or BTRCC6x12.

Cover attaChment oPtions

Complete the security of your cables with covers. These cover sections can be cut to ﬁt with a reciprocating saw and simply snap on. For additional security, use the FTCFCL Cover Fastening Clip. This clip can be used in conjunction with splicing hardware to keep covers secure.
