FAQs
What is this product used for?
This product is used to contain and protect electrical and data cabling, providing a neat and organized appearance along walls or surfaces.
What are the dimensions of this trunking?
The trunking has a square profile with a diameter of 25mm and comes in 2-meter lengths.
Can I use this for outdoor installations?
This trunking is designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure to UV and extreme temperatures may degrade the PVC material.
How do I join sections of trunking together?
You can join sections using compatible MK trunking connectors, bends, and tees available separately.
Is this trunking paintable?
While PVC can be painted, it's recommended to use a primer designed for plastics and a suitable paint. However, the standard white finish is usually sufficient.
What type of cables can it accommodate?
It can accommodate standard electrical wiring, power cables, and common data networking cables like Ethernet.
Troubleshooting
Trunking lid not closing properly
Ensure no cables are pinched or obstructing the lid. Check for any debris inside the trunking base. Ensure the lid is aligned correctly before snapping it shut.
Trunking cracking during cutting or installation
Use a fine-toothed saw or a specialized plastic cutter for clean cuts. Avoid applying excessive force during installation; ensure the surface is relatively flat.
Difficulty fitting a large number of cables
Consider using multiple lengths of trunking or a larger trunking profile if available. Distribute cables evenly within the trunking.
