FAQs
What tools do I need to install the trunking?
You'll typically need a measuring tape, saw (for cutting), screwdriver or drill (for fixings), and possibly cable ties or clamps.
Can I paint the trunking?
Yes, you can paint the trunking after installation if desired. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying paint.
What is the maximum cable capacity?
The maximum capacity depends on the size and number of cables. Always ensure that you do not exceed the trunking's internal capacity to prevent damage.
How do I make corners and bends?
Use pre-made corner pieces and bends, or cut the trunking at an angle for a custom fit. Ensure that cables are not bent too sharply.
Is the trunking fire-resistant?
The trunking offers protection, but confirm with the manufacturer specifications if fire resistance is a critical requirement in your application.
Where can I purchase accessories for the trunking?
Accessories, such as couplers and end caps, are typically available at the same retailers that sell the trunking.
Can I use the trunking outdoors?
The trunking can be used outdoors, but consider the potential for UV degradation, and ensure that the installation is weatherproof.
Troubleshooting
