FAQs
What is this trunking used for?
This trunking is designed for the neat and safe containment of electrical and data cabling, protecting them from damage and providing a clean visual finish.
What are the dimensions of the trunking?
The trunking has a square profile measuring 16mm wide, 16mm high, and comes in a length of 3 meters.
Does this trunking come with accessories like corners?
No, this product is for the trunking lengths only. Compatible accessories such as corners, tees, and couplings need to be purchased separately.
Can I paint this trunking?
While technically possible with suitable plastic paints, painting is not recommended as it may affect the material's properties and void any warranty. The trunking is supplied in a white finish.
How many cables can fit inside?
The capacity depends on the diameter of the cables. The 16mm x 16mm internal space can accommodate a moderate number of standard electrical or data cables. Ensure the lid can close securely without forcing.
Is this trunking suitable for outdoor use?
This trunking is intended for indoor use. It is made of PVC, which may degrade when exposed to UV radiation and extreme weather conditions over time.
Troubleshooting
Trunking lid is difficult to close.
Check for obstructions inside the trunking, such as cables being too tightly packed or an improperly seated accessory. Ensure the cables are neatly arranged.
Trunking base is not secure on the wall.
Ensure the correct type and number of screws or adhesive are used for the wall surface. If using screws, check if the wall material is suitable for fixing.
Cracks appear on the trunking during installation.
Avoid over-tightening screws if using them for fixing. If cutting, use a fine-tooth saw and cut slowly to prevent stress on the material. Avoid installation in extreme cold.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a tidy and professional finish for exposed cables.
- Offers good protection against physical damage to wiring.
- Easy to cut and adapt to specific installation lengths.
- The white color is unobtrusive in most settings.
Cons
- Fixed 3-meter length may require cutting for shorter runs.

- Limited color options; only available in white.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Measure and cut the trunking to the required length using a fine-tooth saw.
- Mount the trunking base to the wall using appropriate screws (not included) through pre-drilled holes or using a strong adhesive.
- Install any necessary bends, tees, or couplings to create the desired route.
- Carefully feed the electrical or data cables into the trunking.
- Snap the trunking lid securely onto the base.
Compatibility:
This trunking is designed to work with MK's range of trunking accessories, including corners, joints, and drop pieces. It is suitable for standard electrical cables and data cables within its 16mm x 16mm internal dimensions. Ensure the total cable diameter does not exceed the capacity to allow for easy lid closure and ventilation.
Care:
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the PVC surface. Ensure the trunking is securely fastened and cables are not overloaded.
