    What is the tee on the side of the cable tray called

    These fittings, often referred to as T-pieces or three-way junctions, allow for a 90-degree lateral takeoff from the main cable tray run, enabling efficient distribution of power, control, and instrumentation cables. Cable tray tee fittings are designed to create these branch connections while maintaining cable support, structural continuity, and installation efficiency. Its "T" shape provides a secure and efficient way to split cables from a main tray into two separate paths, ensuring organized and flexible cable management. Some common GI cable tray accessories include: Couplers: Used to connect two straight sections of cable tray together. Whether your system uses ladder cable trays, perforated trays, wire mesh trays, FRP, aluminum, stainless steel, or galvanized steel, these. Add-on tee for cable tray An add-on tee for cable tray is a specialized fitting designed to create a T-shaped junction in a cable tray run, allowing for the branching of cable routes at a 90-degree angle.
