Planning the Installation
It is important to spend some time planning the installation, before
starting. Time spent on planning the layout at this stage can
avoid mistakes later on. The installation is designed for a non-
conductive substrate, if you have any queries please contact: MK
Technical Sales Service Department. Telephone 01268 563720.

Surface to which the trunking is to be installed should be flat
and prepared for decorating.

to the following: -
a.
Changes in direction of the trunking.
b.
The position of any feeds to or from the system.

The position of any connections with existing trunking/
wiring systems.

Allow for minimum distances between corners, couplers,
