FAQs
Can I paint this trunking?
Yes, the PVC surface can be painted to match your wall color using a suitable plastic-bonding paint.
Is this trunking fire-rated?
MK trunking is manufactured to high safety standards, but please refer to the specific building codes in your region for fire compliance requirements.
How do I join two pieces of trunking together?
You can use standard PVC trunking couplers or carefully miter the ends for a seamless connection.
Can this be used for mains power cables?
Yes, it is designed for standard domestic electrical cabling, but ensure that the cable capacity does not exceed the internal dimensions of the trunking.
Does this come with adhesive backing?
No, this specific model requires mechanical fixings like screws or appropriate mounting adhesives.
Troubleshooting
Trunking lid keeps popping off
Ensure that cables are not overfilling the trunking. If the cables press against the lid, it will not snap shut securely.
Difficulty getting clean cuts with a saw
Use a fine-tooth hacksaw and maintain a steady, light pressure to avoid chipping the PVC edges.
Base mounting holes are not aligning with wall studs
You can drill new pilot holes through the PVC base at your convenience to ensure a secure fit into your specific wall type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic hand tools: a hacksaw for cutting the trunking to size and a drill for mounting the base. Ensure the surface is flat and clean before fixing the base to the wall. For corners, use a miter block to achieve precise 45-degree cuts for a clean aesthetic finish. To care for the trunking, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can dull the PVC finish or cause discoloration over time.
