Heavy Duty Expansion Splice
Heavy Duty Expansion Splice Plates from Cooper B-Line Reduce Structural Steel Supports on Projects
The Cooper B-Line Heavy Duty Expansion Splice Plate is engineered to eliminate the NEMA recommended additional support at each expansion joint where cable tray systems are utilized. The Heavy Duty Expansion Splice Plate allows the installer to support an expansion joint by using only one support per joint versus the traditional two supports.
Expansion joints are common in long-run outdoor applications, where temperature variations result in thermal expansion and contraction of the cable tray system. The installer using the traditional expansion splice would be required to install two supports, one on either side of the expansion joint. By utilizing the Cooper B-Line Heavy Duty Expansion Splice Plate, the installer is only required to use one support. With costs of up to $10,000 per structural steel support, the savings can really add up!
Features & Benefits
- Lowest total cost of installation solution
- “Wrap around” design that supports the siderail on the bottom of each tray section
- Snap-in attachment to the siderail for easy assembly
- Special lubrication for smooth tray movement during expansion and contraction
- Lightweight, marine-grade 6063-T6 aluminum material for easy installation in a variety of applications
Heavy Duty Expansion splice plates are currently available with Cooper B-Line's H46A and H47A tray systems. These tray systems are heavy duty, aluminum ladders that are ideal for long-span, outdoor applications.
