How to fix a mesh cable tray to a wall

Wire mesh cable trays can be securely mounted to walls using wall supports, brackets, and connectors designed for mesh trays.

Required Components

• Wall Supports: YPK or MEK SK types are commonly used to attach cable trays to walls .
• Brackets: L-shaped or square wall brackets provide stable support for mesh trays .
• Connectors: WMT CL connectors attach the wire mesh tray to the wall support .
• Fasteners: M6x30 screws and M6 nuts, or bolts included with the wall support kit, are used to secure the tray .

Installation Steps

1. Position Wall Supports: Mark the desired height and spacing for the wall supports. Typical spacing depends on tray size and load but generally ranges from 1 to 1.5 meters.
2. Attach Wall Supports: Secure the wall supports to the wall using appropriate screws or bolts for the wall type (concrete, brick, or drywall). Ensure they are level and firmly anchored .
3. Prepare the Mesh Tray: Lift the edge of the wire mesh tray onto the straight tip of the bracket. The tray should rest evenly on the support .
4. Secure the Tray: Use WMT CL connectors to attach the tray to the wall support. Tighten screws or bolts to ensure the tray is stable and cannot shift .
5. Check Alignment: Ensure the tray is level along its entire length and that all supports are properly engaged. Adjust as necessary.

Tips for a Secure Installation

• Use galvanized or corrosion-resistant brackets for long-term durability .
• For heavy cable loads, consider reinforced brackets or additional supports.
• Ensure proper grounding if required by electrical codes.
• Avoid over-tightening screws to prevent deformation of the mesh tray. By following these steps and using the correct hardware, a wire mesh cable tray can be safely and securely mounted to a wall, providing reliable support for cable management in industrial or commercial installations .
