Where should the Itray Gap Splice be used?
The Itray Gap Splice is designed to bridge small gaps that may occur between straight ladder tray sections and/or fittings when tray spacing is not exact. Instead of cutting down a short section of ladder tray in the field, the Gap Splice provides a faster, cleaner solution to maintain tray continuity.
What problem does the Itray Gap Splice solve?
During installation, minor gaps between tray sections are common and traditionally require cutting ladder tray to lengths under 12 inches—a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. The Itray Gap Splice eliminates the need for this field fabrication, helping crews keep installations moving efficiently.
How large of a gap can the Itray Gap Splice cover?
The Itray Gap Splice can bridge tray run gaps of up to 24 inches (two feet), providing flexibility when spacing inconsistencies occur during installation.
Are rungs required when using the Itray Gap Splice?
Rungs are not always required. The Gap Splice kit includes optional rungs and rung adder brackets that can be used when additional cable support is needed—typically for larger gaps. Smaller gaps, generally under 6 inches, may not require added rungs depending on the application.
Can the Itray Gap Splice be used with different tray widths?
Yes. The splice plates themselves are not affected by tray width. Rungs are available in 18-inch and 36-inch widths and may be cut down in the field to match the width of the installed tray system as needed.
What field modifications are required for installation?
The Gap Splice plates include pre-drilled holes on one end. Holes on the opposite end are field drilled to match the specific gap length during installation. The splice plates—and optional rungs, if used—may also be cut down in the field as needed to fit the application.
What is included in the Itray Gap Splice kit?
Each Gap Splice kit includes two long splice plates, rung adder brackets, rungs, and all required hardware for installation.
Is the Itray Gap Splice specific to the Itray system?
Yes. The Gap Splice is engineered specifically for use with Itray ladder cable tray, providing a more integrated and consistent solution compared to generic splice or coupler options.
What material is the Itray Gap Splice made from?
The Gap Splice components are manufactured from aluminum.
How does the Itray Gap Splice support sustainability goals?
By eliminating the need to cut short sections of ladder tray in the field, the Gap Splice helps reduce material waste and scrap while minimizing rework during installation.
