Product Information

Full details

This MK Self Adhesive Mini Trunking is designed for electricians and DIY enthusiasts needing a clean and efficient way to manage surface wiring for electrical and data cables in both new builds and renovations. Its key benefit is the integrated acrylic foam adhesive for rapid, secure installation without drilling. A potential caveat is the adhesive's suitability, which may vary depending on surface type and environmental conditions. The 25 x 16mm trunking offers a discreet solution for common applications like wall-mounted TVs and smoke alarms.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of this self-adhesive trunking?

The primary advantage is the integrated acrylic foam adhesive, which allows for fast and secure installation without the need for drilling or screws, significantly reducing installation time and effort.

What types of cables can be used with this trunking?

It is suitable for electrical and data cabling. This includes power cords for devices, speaker wire, low-voltage wiring, and most standard communication cables. Ensure the total cable diameter fits within the 25 x 16mm internal dimensions.

Can this trunking be used outdoors?

This trunking is designed for indoor domestic and commercial use. It is not rated for outdoor exposure to weather elements.

How should I prepare the surface for application?

The surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust and grease. Smooth, non-porous surfaces provide the best adhesion. For painted or slightly textured surfaces, ensure the paint is well-adhered and clean.

What is the length of each trunking piece?

Each piece of MK Self Adhesive Mini Trunking is 2 meters long.

Can I paint this trunking?

While PVCu can be painted, it is recommended to use paints specifically designed for plastics to ensure adhesion and durability. The standard white finish is often sufficient.

What is the maximum number of cables this trunking can hold?

The capacity depends on the diameter of the cables being installed. The 25 x 16mm internal dimensions can typically accommodate a few standard power cables or a bundle of data cables. Avoid overfilling to ensure the lid closes securely.

Troubleshooting

Trunking is not sticking firmly.

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, dry, and degreased before application. For porous surfaces, consider using a suitable primer. Press firmly along the entire length of the trunking after application.

Adhesive losing tack over time.

This can occur in environments with extreme temperatures, high humidity, or significant dust accumulation. Ensure proper surface preparation and consider supplementary mechanical fixings if long-term heavy adhesion is critical.

Difficulty fitting cables into trunking.

Check that the cables are not too bulky for the 25 x 16mm internal dimensions. If necessary, remove some cables or use multiple lengths of trunking. Ensure the trunking lid is fully open when inserting cables.

Trunking lid does not stay closed.

Ensure cables are not overfilling the trunking, preventing the lid from seating correctly. Check for any obstructions. The lid is designed to clip shut securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick and easy installation due to self-adhesive backing.
  • Reduces installation time and complexity compared to traditional trunking.
  • Provides a neat and professional finish for cable management.
  • Durable PVCu material offers good protection for cables.
  • Suitable for a variety of low-voltage and light electrical applications.

Cons

  • Adhesive performance may be affected by dusty, uneven, or porous surfaces.
  • May not be suitable for heavy gauge cables or high-density wiring runs.
  • Requires careful surface preparation for optimal adhesion.
  • Long-term adhesion in extreme temperature or humidity conditions may vary.
  • Limited to surface mounting applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and any loose material. For best adhesion, prime porous surfaces if recommended for acrylic adhesives.
  2. Measure and Cut: Measure the required length of trunking and cut cleanly using a fine-tooth saw or appropriate cutting tool.
  3. Apply Trunking: Peel back a section of the protective backing from the adhesive strip. Carefully align the trunking with the desired location and press firmly into place, working from one end to the other to avoid trapping air.
  4. Insert Cables: Once the trunking is securely adhered, gently open the lid and feed your cables inside. Close the lid firmly.

Compatibility:

This trunking is designed for surface wiring of electrical and data cables. It is compatible with most standard low-voltage and standard power cables suitable for containment within a 25 x 16mm space. Ensure the total cable diameter does not exceed the internal capacity of the trunking. It is intended for use in domestic and commercial environments.

Care:

Clean the exterior of the trunking with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the PVCu material. Ensure cables remain secure and the trunking lid is properly closed.
