NOTE (1): Since spliced joints have lesser load capacity
than tray sections, splice locations confined to points of minimal stress take fullest
advantage of cable tray strength. Optimum splice locations are at approximate
quarter-points (on-fourth the clear span distance from the support), or next best, between
quarter-points and nearest tray support. For these locations, allowable loads found in
this catalog may be used without reduction.
NOTE (2): If spliced joints occur at or ner midspan, tray
section allowable loads must be reduced, amount depending upon span condition and model of
tray and splice plate. The reduced aloowable load can be found by multiplying the normal
allowable tray load, from the previous page, by the corresponding "load-reduction
factor" from the chart above.
NOTE (3): Splices must be avoided in: (1) single spans, (2)
end spans of multiple spans.
NOTE (4): All splice plates are supplied in pairs with all
the necessary hardware.
