Rubber Cable Protector Floor TRUNKING Cable Tidy 1M Length

Product Information

Floor service outlet boxes can be fitted at any point along the trunking run, at any time after screeding when using trunking at least 55mm deep. The trunking should be laid on a supporting flat ribbon of screed to avoid the distortion of the trunking lid. Conduit and trunking are more often used where a raised/wall-mounted, embedded or partly concealed wiring run needs further protection. It also helps to clean up the overall appearance of your wiring as a handy cable management solution. Everyday examples include wiring runs going across ceilings, outdoor cabling, underground cable runs, or wires being chased into and around walls.

A range of heavy duty floor trunking for use in screed with the lid flush with the finished floor level, giving the flexibility of re-wiring and moving outlet points without disturbing the screed. The body is made from 1.5mm galvanised steel and the load bearing lids are made from 2.5mm galvanised steel. In all cases of electrical installation, if you’re unsure about any aspect of working with live trunking cable, then you should always seek guidance from a qualified electrician. Installing the cable trunking itself isn’t strictly an electrical task, however, and it’s relatively easy to DIY in most cases. The upper surface is a removable cover, either flat or recessed to take floor covering. For recessed lids a stainless steel option is available.

Cable conduit tends to take the form of a long round tube in various diameters. It can be flexible or rigid and made from several different materials, depending on where and how it’s being installed. We’ll cover some of the more popular trunking and conduit materials in the following sections of this guide.

We’re often asked, ‘what’s the difference between cable conduit and cable trunking?’. In practice, these two methods of electrical power cable protection and concealment are very similar. However, they each have their own advantages and disadvantages in particular applications. Cables are placed into the trunking body. Once wiring is complete place the trunking lids on to the bodies and secure using the supplied joint cover sleeves. Plastic cable trunking is a popular choice for a relatively simple and cheap conduit option that’s robust enough to withstand everyday hazards like dirt and moisture. It can also be bought in both rigid and flexible lengths, depending on whether you need to prioritise physical protection or routing convenience. Position the floor boxes and junction boxes to your lowest anticipated screed height and secure to the floor. This type of power trunking allows the user to create any shape of wiring pathway they need. Carefully planning the run and buying the appropriately angled joins allows you to achieve a highly customised set of cabling routes and bends. Again, numerous sorts of cable trunking accessories can be added to help secure the run.

Depending on the trunking type, cable conduit size, cross-sectional area, amounts of cable and install location, you may need several additional tools to complete the installation. These can range from screwdrivers and drills to saws, putties and sealants, stud finders (wall scanners), and various others besides. Galvanised steel conduit is often preferred for outdoor and underground cable runs, or in any other places where there’s likely to be a degree of exposure to moisture. Stainless steel trunking is sometimes preferred for aesthetics where a cabling run will be in full view. Aluminium conduit is a great choice for many lightweight applications, such as when wiring needs to be run across ceilings.
