LOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS
GLOBETRAY® Splice Connectors are
heavy-gauge metal splice plates, furnished with 3/8" truss-head bolts and
serrated-flange nuts of electrogalvanized steel. Bolts have ribbed locking shanks to
prevent rotation while being tightened. With these connectors resistance between tray
sections does not exceed 0.00033 ohms (see NEMA Standard VE-1).
NOTE: All splice plates are supplied in pairs with all
necessary hardware.
SPAN CONDITIONS
NOTE: (1) Since spliced joints normally 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 (one-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): Splices must be avoided in: (1) single spans, (2)
end spans of multiple spans.
