PVC-U Perimeter trunking systems | 243

Joints and bends
Base joints should have a 3mm gap to allow for expansion. Internal, external bends and at angles, the base must be mitred 45 degrees to ensure total enclosure of trunking, including any internal tted segregator. External moulded ttings overlap the joints by up to 10mm to cover cutting inaccuracies. Flat angles, tees and crossovers are also available pre-fabricated.
Compact trunking Material

PVC-U is ame retardant and selfextinguishing. PVC-U is 100% recyclable.
Covers
Covers are designed to limit unauthorised removal and to remain in position during normal conditions irrespective of impact and minor undulations of the mounting surface.
Installation
Positioning
Compact 1, 2 & 3 suitable for dado. Should Compact 3 be used as skirting system, a clearance of 5mm is recommended above the oor covering to allow the prole ttings to clip over the cover. If Compact 2 is installed close to desk/bench top invert so small compartment is on bottom.
Covers tting
Covers are clipped into place from front. If accessory boxes are installed, the ETL1 cover is butt-joined to the edge of the box. Cut edges of the cover are subsequently concealed by the accessory. For ttings, a gap of 25mm is left between the two cover ends to permit the tting to clip to base.
Covers removal
To remove a cover, rst detach a coupler, internal or external bend component to gain access. The main cover can then be gently eased o the
Bend radius control

The data internal and external bend radius control ttings for Compact Trunking provide a bend radius of 50mm.
INSERT SCREWDRIVER INTO SHADED AREA
5mm + FLOOR COVERING
Accessory boxes
For mounting an accessory box in the alternative compartment to supply, drill the main web adjacent to the box position. Remove the appropriate knock out and clip the box into the trunking base. For boxes in the same compartment as the supply, remove the appropriate box knock-outs and clip the box into trunking base. When boxes are installed consecutively, a 14mm wide spacer (ES1) is required to cover the space between the boxes. Part M box assemblies with contrasting coloured faceplates are available to meet the requirements of DDA regulations for Visual Impairment. If Compact 3 is used as a skirting system. All power accessories should be installed in the top compartment.
DRILL HOLE OF SUITABLE SIZE
Expansion/contraction
PVC-U expands and contracts at a uniform rate of approx 5.25mm in a 3 metre length for a temperature change of 25C. Therefore, a 3mm gap between each length of trunking base is recommended.Fittings have a 10mm overlap on each side to allow for thermal movement of the covers.
LEVER OUT
base. To remove the outer cover, rstly ease from the base by inserting the blade of a terminal screwdriver between the captive legs of the cover and the base and then peel o.
Fitting
The base is supplied with pre-cut elongated holes at 250mm centres. To fasten base, use No 8 round head screws and washers. Avoid over-tightening to permit thermal movement. The use of plastic caps over screw heads is recommended to protect installed cables. To cut the trunking, use a netoothed panel or power jig-saw. External moulded ttings overlap the joints by up to 10mm to cover cutting inaccuracies. A variable angle jig-saw or chop saw is recommended for cutting 45 degree mitres.
Screening
Special conductive spray coating can be applied to one compartment, the cover, accessory boxes and ttings, to screen data cables against EMI interference. For data/voice circuits only: Warning: Owing to its relatively high surface resistance, CS coating SHOULD NOT be in contact with low voltage circuits BS7671 (1992) 50 V.A.C. 1000 V.A.C. unless additional measures are undertaken.
Antimicrobial
For technical details of antimicrobial Bio Compact trunking, please refer to Laboratory and Healthcare section.
Single lengths
Where it is required to t a single length of trunking (under 3 metres) between two inside walls and no accessory box is tted, it is advisable to install a coupler in the centre of the run to facilitate the removal of the cover.

allow 85 to 95 to accommodate building tolerances. Flat bends and tees: have moulded and segregated base units. These are tted into position and the trunking base then cut to butt up to mouldings. Cutting is not critical as the external moulded clip-on ttings cover the joints and overlap the trunking covers by 10mm each side, thus covering any inaccuracies.
Odyssey trunking Material

Covers tting
Outer covers are tted rst. Locate front clip feature into the base and then roll the cover to the back of the trunking until the rear clip feature positively locates it is possible to hear the click when this is located correctly. The centre cover is then clipped into place from the front. If accessory boxes are installed, the centre cover is butt joined beneath the moulded ange of the box (Odyssey box DD1510/DD1520) or adaptor (DD1590). The cut edges of lids are then concealed. A gap of 15mm should be left between cover joints to permit ttings to clip to the base.
Installation
Positioning
For dado, horizontal or vertical installation.
PVC-U expands and contracts at a uniform rate of approx 5.25mm in a 3 metre length for a temperature change of 25C. Therefore, a 3mm gap between each length of trunking base is recommended. Adequate allowance is made within the ttings for thermal movement of the covers, which have a 10mm overlap on each side.
Bend radius control

The bend radius control ttings for Odyssey provide a bend radius of 50mm
Accessory boxes
Accessory boxes are mounted in the centre compartment. If supplied from either of the outer compartments, drill the main web adjacent to the box position. Remove the appropriate knock out and clip the box into the trunking base. For boxes in the same compartment as the supply, remove the appropriate box knock-outs and clip the box into trunking base. If boxes DD1510 and DD1520 are installed consecutively, a cut section of centre cover should be tted between them. If DD1540 or DD1550 are installed, Adaptor DD1590 must be tted either side to align with curved cover. If DD1540 or DD1550 are installed consecutively, use the spacer provided and at each end of a run use accessory adaptor DD1590 to align with curved cover. Part M coloured accessory boxes are available to meet the requirements of DDA regulations for Visual Impairment.

Joints and bends Base joints should have a 3mm gap to allow for expansion. Internal, external bends and at angles, the base must be mitred 45 to ensure total enclosure of trunking, including any internal tted segregator. Flat angles, tees and crossovers are available prefabricated. External moulded ttings overlap the joints by up to 10mm to cover cutting inaccuracies.
Sterling prole trunking Material

Covers
Covers are designed to limit unauthorised removal and to remain in position during normal conditions irrespective of impact and minor undulations of the mounting surface.
Covers tting
Covers are clipped into place from front. If accessory boxes are installed, the ETL1 cover is butt-joined to the edge of the box. Cut edges of the cover are subsequently concealed by the accessory. For ttings, a gap of 25mm is left between the two cover ends to permit the tting to clip to base.
Installation
Positioning
When used as a skirting system, sucient clearance should be allowed between the oor covering and the prole ttings that clip over the cover i.e. 5mm + oor covering is recommended.

5mm + FLOOR COVERING Expansion/contraction

PVC-U expands and contracts at a uniform rate of approx 5.25mm in a 3 metre length for a temperature change of 25C. Therefore, a 3mm gap between each length of trunking base is recommended.Fittings have a 10mm overlap on each side to allow for thermal movement of the covers.
Bend radius control

The data internal and external bend radius control ttings for Sterling Prole trunking provide a bend radius of 50mm.
To remove a cover, rst detach a coupler, internal or external bend component to gain access. The main cover can then be gently eased o the base. To remove the outer cover, rstly ease from the base by inserting the blade of a terminal screwdriver between the captive legs of the cover and the base and then ease away from the base.
Accessory boxes
For mounting an accessory box in the alternative compartment to supply, drill the main web adjacent to the box position. Remove the appropriate knock out and clip the box into the trunking base. For boxes in the same compartment as the supply, remove the appropriate box knock-outs and clip the box into trunking base. When boxes are installed consecutively, a 14mm wide spacer (ES1) is required to cover the space between the boxes. Part M box assemblies with contrasting coloured faceplates are available to meet the requirements of DDA regulations for Visual Impairment.
Fitting
The base is supplied with pre-cut elongated holes at 250mm centres. Internal couplers on base units are not required. To fasten base, use No 8 round head screws and washers. Avoid over-tightening to permit thermal movement. The use of plastic caps over screw heads is recommended to protect installed cables. To cut the trunking, use a netoothed panel or power jig-saw. External moulded ttings overlap the joints by up to 10mm to cover cutting inaccuracies. A variable angle jig-saw or chop saw is recommended for cutting 45 mitres. To increase number of compartments to any number required, use base extension EBE1WH and extendable base EEB1.
