Drilling holes in cable tray tees

Drilling holes in cable tray tees

Drilling holes in cable tray tees requires proper marking, correct drill size, and careful placement to ensure secure connections and avoid cable damage.Preparation and MarkingBefore drilling, mark the locations where the tee will connect to other trays or fittings. Ensure the tray is properly aligned and supported to prevent bending during drilling. Use approved shop drawings to determine the exact positions for holes and connectors .Drill Size and PlacementFor most steel or aluminum trays, drill holes with a diameter of at least 7 mm in the tray rail and base .The number of screws depends on tray dimensions: for a 60 mm side height, use 4 screws per connector; for a 300 mm width, use 3 screws per joint plate .For wider trays (≥400 mm), a joint plate is required to prevent transverse bending under load .Drilling ProcedureSecure the tee on a stable surface or support to prevent movement.Use a power drill with the appropriate bit for the tray material (steel, aluminum, or FRP).Drill from the inner side of the tray to avoid damaging cables when the tray is in use.Remove burrs and sharp edges after drilling to prevent cable insulation damage .Installing Connectors and Joint PlatesPlace the joint plate centrally over the drilled area and fasten with truss-head bolts and combination nuts .For trays up to 300 mm wide, the joint plate is optional but recommended for added stability.Attach edge protection strips at cut edges if no joint plate or bottom end plate is used to protect cables .Safety ConsiderationsAlways wear safety glasses and gloves when drilling.Ensure the tray is properly supported to prevent bending or injury.Avoid over-tightening screws, which can deform the tray or damage cables . By following these steps, you can safely drill holes in cable tray tees, maintain structural integrity, and ensure secure connections for cable routing.
