Product Information

Full details

This Pump House Ivory 140mm trunking is designed for homeowners and installers looking to protect and neatly conceal the pipework and insulation from air source heat pumps. Its key benefit is providing a durable, weather-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing enclosure. A minor caveat is its specific 140mm width, which must match the installation requirements. It safeguards insulated flow and return pipes and associated cabling using high-grade, fade-resistant PVC, ensuring longevity and a professional finish.

FAQs

What is the purpose of this trunking?

This trunking is designed to protect and neatly conceal the insulated pipework and associated cabling running from an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) to the indoor unit or external environment.

What does 140mm width refer to?

The 140mm refers to the internal width of the trunking, which is designed to accommodate the insulated flow and return pipes, along with any necessary cables.

What material is the trunking made from?

The trunking is made from high-grade, fade-resistant PVC, which ensures durability and resistance to weathering and UV damage.

How do I install this trunking?

Installation involves cutting the trunking to size, securing it to the surface, feeding the pipes and cables through, and finishing with end caps and bends. Ensure you use appropriate fixings and compatible accessories.

Can I join multiple pieces of trunking together?

Yes, you can join multiple 2-meter sections using compatible joiner pieces from the Pump House range to achieve longer runs.

Is this trunking suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the high-grade, fade-resistant PVC is specifically designed for outdoor use, offering protection against the elements.

What color options are available?

This specific model (TR-D-140) is available in an ivory finish.

Troubleshooting

Trunking sections do not fit together snugly.

Ensure you are using compatible joiner pieces from the Pump House range and that both sections of trunking are clean and free of debris before attempting to join them.

Difficulty cutting the trunking cleanly.

Use a fine-toothed saw or a PVC pipe cutter for a cleaner cut. Sand any rough edges smooth after cutting.

Trunking appears to be sagging between fixings.

Increase the frequency of fixings along the length of the trunking. Ensure fixings are secure and appropriate for the mounting surface.

Water ingress observed inside the trunking.

Check that all end caps and joins are properly sealed. Ensure the trunking is installed with a slight downward slope away from the heat pump unit to facilitate drainage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure the total length of pipework and cabling to be concealed.
  2. Cut the 2-meter trunking sections to the required lengths using a fine-toothed saw or appropriate cutting tool.
  3. Secure the trunking lengths to the wall or mounting surface using suitable fixings (e.g., screws with wall plugs, pipe clips) at regular intervals.
  4. Connect multiple trunking sections using compatible joiners if a run exceeds 2 meters. Ensure a snug fit to maintain weatherproofing.
  5. Feed the insulated pipework and associated cabling through the trunking.
  6. Use compatible end caps and bends to finish the installation neatly and seal against the elements.

Compatibility:

  • This trunking is specifically designed for pipework and cabling originating from Air Source Heat Pumps.
  • The 140mm width is suitable for standard insulated flow and return pipes and associated cables.
  • Ensure any additional components like joiners, end caps, and bends are from the same Pump House range for optimal fit and performance.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior of the trunking periodically with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove dirt and grime.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the PVC surface.
  • Regularly inspect the trunking for any signs of damage or wear and replace sections as needed.
