FAQs
What tools do I need to install the trunking?
You will need a saw to cut the trunking, a measuring tape, a pencil, a screwdriver or drill for screws, and possibly adhesive.
Can I paint the trunking?
Yes, the trunking is paintable. Lightly sand the surface, apply a primer, and then two coats of paint.
What kind of cables can I put inside?
The trunking is suitable for most standard electrical cables. Check the cable dimensions to ensure they fit.
How do I cut the trunking?
Use a fine-tooth saw to cut the trunking to the desired length. Make sure to measure accurately.
Can I use this trunking outdoors?
It is generally designed for indoor use. Direct exposure to the elements may degrade the plastic over time.
What if the bends don't fit perfectly?
Ensure the bend is the correct type. You may need to adjust the trunking slightly or trim the edges for a snug fit.
Where can I buy replacement parts?
Replacement parts are often available from the same retailers that sell the initial kit or from electrical supply stores.
How do I remove the trunking if I need to access the cables?
Carefully pry it away from the wall, using a flathead screwdriver if needed. You may need to replace any adhesive or screws upon reinstallation.
Troubleshooting
Trunking not sticking to the wall.
Ensure the surface is clean and use appropriate adhesive or screws. Consider using stronger adhesive if needed.
Paint not adhering to the trunking.
Lightly sand the surface before painting and use a primer. Apply two coats of paint for better coverage and adhesion.
Cables are difficult to fit inside the trunking.
Ensure you are using the correct size trunking for the number and type of cables. Use a cable pulling tool if necessary.
Bends or connectors don't align properly.
Double-check the alignment and ensure the pieces are correctly snapped together. Consider making minor adjustments.
End caps keep falling off.
Ensure they are properly clipped on. You might need to use a small amount of adhesive for added security.
