NON-METALLIC TRUNKING
Trunking and trunking accessories are also available high-impact PVC. The modern square look switches and sock-
ets complemented the mini-trunking which very easy install (see
Fig. The trunking fitted around the
walls room either the skirting board level the working surface
level and contains the wiring for socket outlets and telephone points which
are mounted the lid, shown Fig. When manufactured bends are
used, the continuity the earth path must ensured across the joint by
making all fixing screw connections very tight, fitting separate copper
strap between the trunking and the standard bend.
The accessories are usually secured the lengths trunking with PVC
solvent adhesive.
MINI-TRUNKING
Mini-trunking very small PVC trunking, ideal for surface wiring in
domestic and commercial installations such offices. 14.28).28
Typical installation skirting trunking and mini-trunking. earth continuity
test the trunking found unsatisfactory, insulated CPC must
be installed inside the trunking. PVC trunking, like PVC conduit, easy install and is
non-corrosive. The trunking has a
cross-section 16mm, 16mm, 16mm 25mm and
is ideal for switch drops for housing auxiliary circuits such telephone
or audio equipment wiring. 14. The size the protective conductor will
be determined the largest cable contained the trunking, described
by Table 54.

to prevent damage cables since the thin sheet construction makes it
impossible countersink screw heads. Fish plates must made and riveted bolted the
trunking form solid and secure bend.Basic Electrical Installation Work

When fabricating bends the trunking should supported with wooden
blocks for sawing and filing, order prevent the sheet-steel vibrating or
becoming deformed. the circuit conductors are less than

lic trunking may require more frequent fixings because less rigid than
metallic trunking.7 the IEE Regulations.
