Our Wire Tray Liner is designed to provide a solid surface for the bottom of wire trays. This helps to prevent the snagging of cables and wiring. The high density polyethylene plastic (HDPE) provides a smooth surface which allows for the easy passing of cabling and is flexible, allowing the plastic to conform to various tray features. The material is easily cut with a utility knife which makes customizing the liner to various cutouts and openings simple and straight forward.

Available in both 30 mil and 40 mil thicknesses, our cable tray liner is available in a wide variety of roll widths ranging from 18” - 48” and in 100’ roll lengths. Our liner is made in the USA and ships from Kansas City.

Connecting HDPE Pieces

There are two ways to connect multiple pieces of HDPE together. One method is to overlap the HDPE and use our double sided seam tape to connect the two pieces. The other method is to butt the ends together and use our 17 mil single sided seam tape to create a solid connection.

Overlap Method
(for underground installations)

The overlap method is best used when connecting two pieces of HDPE in a buried application. Due to the overlap, a ridge is exposed which is not ideal when installed in exposed vertical or flat installations in high traffic areas as there is a possibility of an object catching on the ridge and pulling the two pieces apart.

In a below ground installation, the large overlap area provides a more water resistant connection as well as enhanced protection against tree and plant root intrusion.

End to End Method
(for exposed installations)

When installing HDPE on a wall, floor or anywhere that is exposed, the end to end method provides a secure connection and does not leave any ridges exposed to potential catching by a person or object.

HDPE Wire Tray Liner

Wire Tray Liners for Smooth and Organized Cable Management

Wire cable trays are commonly used to route and organize electrical, communication, and data cabling in commercial and industrial installations. Their open construction makes cables easy to access, but the wire structure can also create openings and contact points along the bottom of the tray. Installing a smooth plastic liner provides a continuous surface beneath the cables and can make cable placement, pulling, and organization easier.

What Is a Wire Tray Liner?

A wire tray liner is a flexible sheet material installed along the bottom of an open wire cable tray. Longview Supply wire tray liner is manufactured from high density polyethylene, commonly referred to as HDPE.

The liner creates a smooth surface between the cables and the wire structure of the tray. This can help prevent cables from catching on tray openings, cross wires, joints, and other features while they are being installed or repositioned.

Because the material is flexible and supplied in rolls, it can be easily adapted to many common wire tray configurations.

Benefits of an HDPE Wire Tray Liner

One of the primary advantages of adding an HDPE liner to a wire tray is the continuous surface it creates beneath the cabling. Instead of resting directly on individual wires or cross members, cables are supported by a smooth plastic surface.

This can be particularly useful when pulling cables through longer tray runs or when smaller cables are being installed in trays with relatively large openings.

A liner can also help prevent small wires, cables, or other components from passing through the openings in a wire tray. This provides a cleaner and more contained cable-management surface while maintaining the accessibility that makes wire trays popular.

Flexible and Easy to Cut

HDPE offers a useful combination of flexibility and durability for tray-lining applications. The material can conform to many common bends, transitions, and tray features without requiring rigid fabricated panels.

It can also be cut in the field using a utility knife or other appropriate cutting tool. Installers can trim the material around fittings, supports, junctions, openings, and other components as needed.

Longview Supply offers wire tray liner in 30 mil and 40 mil thicknesses with multiple widths available for different tray sizes. Most options are supplied in 100-foot rolls, allowing long sections of tray to be lined with relatively few separate pieces.

Planning the Installation

Before installing a wire tray liner, measure the inside width of the tray and determine how the liner will be routed around bends, fittings, transitions, and support components.

The liner should be positioned along the bottom of the tray so that it provides a smooth cable-bearing surface without interfering with the intended operation of the cable tray system.

Where more than one section of HDPE is required, the material can be cut, fitted, overlapped, or joined based on the requirements of the installation. Installers should also consider how the liner will be secured so that it remains properly positioned when cables are installed or moved.

Common Wire Tray Liner Applications

HDPE wire tray liners can be used in a variety of commercial and industrial cable-management installations where a smooth, solid surface is desired within an open wire tray.

Common applications may include manufacturing facilities, warehouses, equipment rooms, telecommunications installations, commercial buildings, utility areas, and other facilities that use wire-style cable trays for routing cables and wiring.

Choosing the Right Wire Tray Liner

Choosing the appropriate liner begins with measuring the cable tray and determining the width and thickness needed for the installation. Longview Supply offers multiple widths along with both 30 mil and 40 mil HDPE options, making it possible to select material based on the dimensions and requirements of the project.

IMPORTANT APPLICATION INFORMATION

This product is general-purpose HDPE sheet material. It is not represented or certified as flame-retardant, fire-rated, plenum-rated, low-smoke, or UL 94 V-0. Requirements for cable tray liners vary by installation and project. The purchaser, system designer, and installer are responsible for determining product suitability and compliance with applicable codes, project specifications, cable tray manufacturer requirements, conductor ampacity requirements, and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
