MK Trunking - Rectangular Trunking Length - 16mm Width - 2m Length

You'll need a measuring tape, pencil, saw (fine-tooth or trunking cutter), screwdriver or drill (for screws), and possibly cable lubricant.

Yes, you can typically paint the trunking, but it's recommended to lightly sand the surface first and use a paint suitable for plastic.

The maximum number of cables will depend on their size. The 16mm width limits the capacity. Ensure the cables are not tightly packed to prevent overheating.

This specific trunking is typically designed for indoor use. Outdoor applications may require a more weather-resistant type of trunking.

Use a fine-tooth saw or a trunking cutter. Measure the required length carefully, mark the cut, and ensure a clean, straight cut.

Connectors and end caps are usually available at the same retailers that sell the trunking. You can find them at most hardware stores or electrical supply stores.

Use screws that are appropriate for the wall material (e.g., drywall screws for drywall, masonry screws for brick or concrete). Ensure the screw length is suitable to provide a secure fit without puncturing any cables inside.

Ensure the lid is correctly aligned and clipped into place. Check for any obstructions or damage to the trunking or lid. Consider using a stronger adhesive or additional clips if necessary.

Use cable lubricant to ease the process. Ensure the cables are not too thick or numerous for the trunking's capacity. Consider removing some cables or using a larger trunking if necessary.

Make sure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from any grease or dust. Use appropriate fixings (screws) or a strong adhesive that is suitable for the wall material. Allow sufficient time for the adhesive to cure.
