1.What is metal trunking used for?
Steel trunking can be used to protect cables and pipes. Perfect for situations where protection is paramount but access is also required. The other benefit of steel trunking is that it is robust enough to be used for flush floor trunking systems. Floor trunking is essential in many public or commercial buildings.
2.Where is steel cable trunking generally used?
They are commonly used for applications that require access through inspection boxes or service outlets for discrete cable management. Cavity floor trunking systems are easy to install offering efficient cable management with excellent flexibility and providing ease of access to telephone, data and power outlets.
3.Does metal trunking need earthing?
If the tray is an exposed conductive part it requires earthing. If the tray is and extraneous conductive part it requires bonding. If the tray is neither of the above it requires neither earthing nor bonding.
4.What is the difference between trunking and ducting?
A duct is a fully enclosed tube or pipe that carries liquid or air in and out of buildings or through the body. Whereas a trunking system is a fully accessible, rectilinear box section used solely in lengths for the protection and routing of cables on the surface in, around and out of buildings and not through a body.
5.What are the three main types of trunking?
▪Plastic like PVC.
▪Stainless steel.
▪Galvanized steel.
▪Carbon steel on different coatings.
▪Hot dipped galvanized coating.
6.Does electric cable need to be in trunking?
All cables should either be contained in steel conduit or protected by 30mA RCD.
7.Can you use metal trunking outside?
Galvanised steel trunking is commonly used for outdoor and underground cable runs.
8.Why is it called trunking?
The term metal trunking in networking dates from the days of analog phone systems. With those systems, many landline users shared a few communication paths extending from a main trunk line, like the branches of a tree.
9.What is Aluminium trunking?
ALUMINIUM TRUNKING SYSTEMS. The physical properties of aluminium offer the building industry a high quality material that is ideally suited for internal cable management distribution. Aluminium is light to handle with high mechanical strength and impact-resistance.
