FAQs

What tools are needed for installation?

You'll typically need a saw or cutter, a measuring tape, a pencil, a screwdriver or drill, and possibly cable ties or clips.

Can I paint the trunking?

Yes, you can paint the trunking after cleaning it. Ensure the surface is prepared and use paint suitable for PVC.

What is the maximum number of cables I can put in the trunking?

The maximum number of cables depends on the size and type of the cables. Avoid overfilling to allow for airflow and easy access.

Can I use this trunking outdoors?

While the PVC is durable, prolonged exposure to sunlight and extreme weather conditions may affect the trunking. It's generally better suited for indoor use. Check the product specifications for outdoor suitability.

How do I cut the trunking to the correct length?

Use a fine-tooth saw or a specialized cutter. Measure accurately, mark the cutting line, and cut slowly and carefully. A mitre box can help ensure straight cuts.

What type of fixings should I use?

The type of fixings depends on the surface. For walls, use screws and wall plugs. For other surfaces, use appropriate adhesive or clips. Consider the weight of the cables when choosing fixings.

How do I remove the lid?

The lid is typically designed to snap on and off. Use a small screwdriver or a similar tool to gently pry the lid away from the base if it's difficult to remove by hand.

Is the trunking fire resistant?

The trunking is made of PVC, and while it may not be fireproof, it's designed to slow the spread of fire. Check local regulations for compliance.

Troubleshooting

Trunking lid doesn't stay closed.

Check for obstructions or cable overload. Ensure the lid clips are properly aligned and engaged. Use additional clips or adhesive if needed.

Difficult to cut the trunking.

Use a fine-tooth saw or a specialized cutter for clean cuts. Support the trunking to prevent bending during cutting.

Trunking is not staying in place.

Ensure you are using the correct fixings for the surface. Use screws, clips, or adhesive as appropriate for the wall or surface material.
