Cable Tray Spacers Are They Compliant

[Karl Pettit]

Does anyone have knowledge or experience of using the plastic cable tray spacers by Traysimple, do they comply with the fire regs?

I saw some on trade counter recently, they look the part and tray would be installed very quickly. I would be interested to know if anyone has used them

Got to be better than cutting channel

I like the way that this is posted in the 'Jokes' section of the forum!

If you look at their website they only came on the market March this year. Not enough time to evaluate them.

According to their website they're made from LSF0H Flame retardant plastic. I don't see any BS compliance mention though.

They look ideal for the kind of stuff I do.

Surely they are only a spacer and the tray will be fixed via a metal fixing to actual building fabric i.e. a screw?

For light gauge tray a few washers as a stand off was OK by me for years. Mostly I would be using unistrut and heavy duty brackets.

I am thinking up to 6 maybe 9 inch medium return tray generally, I just find cutting and dressing strut such mind numbing work
