INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
1) The base section and extension base (if used) should be plug and screw fixed to the wall ensuring washers are
used behind the screw head for a more secure fix.
2) All joints should have a 5mm gap to allow for expansion and base section corners should be mitred. The cutting
of the base sections is not critical as the manufactured fittings cover the joints and overlap the trunking lids.
3) For cutting it is recommended that a fine tooth tenon or hacksaw is used. Use a sharp knife or file for trimming.
4) Socket and data boxes can be positioned and wiring can begin.
5) On completion of all wiring, the covers, joint covers etc can be inserted.
6) Finally, all power/data/telephone accessories can be wired and fixed.
The Earth Loop Impedance Test can now be carried out.
INSTALLATION TIPS
Installation around columns.
All boxes are on the same plain. Therefore, holes should be drilled from top or bottom to accommodate data and
telephone cabling.
