Product catalog summary
Overview of Fiberglass Cable Tray Systems
MPHusky's Fiberglass Cable Tray systems are engineered for challenging environments, combining the strength of steel with non-conductive, non-magnetic, and corrosion-resistant features. Available in polyester and vinylester resin systems, they comply with ASTM E-84 Class 1 Flame rating and ASTM D-635 self-extinguishing standards. These trays are lightweight, strong, and do not require painting.
Load Data and Temperature Effects
Continuous exposure to high temperatures reduces strength properties. Load capacities should be adjusted according to NEMA Standard 8-10-1986.
Material Properties
Constructed from glass fiber-reinforced plastic, the trays exhibit high tensile and flexural strength, impact resistance, and thermal stability. They are tested for flame resistance and flammability.
Thermal Contraction and Expansion
Installation must consider thermal expansion and contraction, requiring expansion splice plates based on tray length and temperature changes.
Installation Guidelines
Installation should adhere to NEMA VE-2 standards and the National Electrical Code. Safety practices include using protective gear during cutting and drilling. Tools similar to those for wood are used, and surfaces must be sealed after cutting.
Corrosion Resistance
The guide outlines maximum weight percentages and operating temperatures for various chemicals, indicating the suitability of polyester and vinylester resins in different environments.
Ordering Information
Orders require selection of series, resin type, rung spacing, width, and length. Splice plates with hardware are included.
Load and Deflection Data
Data for different spans and loads are provided for various Husky Series, including safety factors and deflection calculations.
Product Specifications
Details are provided for components like spray acrylic sealants, thermo plastic drive rivets, and various covers and clamps.
Loading Information
Beam loads are specified for different spans with a minimum safety factor of 2. Adjustments are necessary for high-temperature applications.
Fittings and Accessories
Includes strut fittings, corner gussets, and vertical supports with specific catalog numbers and descriptions.
Hardware Components
Specifications for hex head bolts, all-thread rods, hex nuts, washers, U-bolts, channel nuts, and washers are detailed with load capacities.
Clamps and Hangers
Descriptions of adjustable and rigid pipe clamps, conduit swivel clamps, and clevis hangers with design loads and dimensions are provided.
Design Considerations
Emphasis on safety factors for design loads, especially at higher temperatures. Insulation may be required for certain applications.

CABLE TRAY For more than 30 years, MPHusky’s Fiberglass Cable Tray systems have been tested and proven in the harsh environment of the offshore oil and gas industry. Our tray has stood up to the test of being exposed to the corrosive conditions inherent in petroleum products, plus the daily punishment of exposure to wind, weather and salt water. MPHusky Fiberglass Cable Tray gives you the load capacity of steel, plus the inherent characteristics afforded by our Pultrusion Technology: non-conductive, non-magnetic and corrosionresistant. Although light in weight, the strength to weight ratio surpasses...

CABLE TRAY Cable Tray Thermal Contraction and Expansion It is important that thermal contraction and expansion be considered when installing cable tray systems. The length of the straight cable tray runs and the temperature differential govern the number of expan- sion splice plates required (see Table 1). The cable tray should be anchored at the support nearest to its midpoint between the expansion splice plates and secured by expansion guides at all other support loca- tions (See Figure 1). The cable tray should be permitted longitudinal movement in both directions from that fixed point. Expansion...

CABLE TRAY Cable Tray Installation Guide Installation of MPHusky Fiberglass Cable Tray should be made in accordance with the standards set by NEMA Publication VE-2 latest edition and National Electrical Code, Article 392. ♦♦ Always observe common safety practices when assembling tray and fittings. Installations generally require some field cutting. Dust created during fabrication presents no serious health hazard, but skin irritation may be experienced by some workers. ♦♦ Operators of saws and drills should wear masks, long sleeve shirts, or coveralls. ♦♦ Fabrication with Husky Fiberglass is...
