Installation of Snorkel Lid and Round Aluminium Floorbox
1
The base unit is fixed to the slab and the ducts or conduits are fed into
the base using the appropriate side entry plate.
2
The disposable screed cover is fitted to prevent the ingress of screed
through the top. All areas of the box which may be susceptible to
screed ingress should be sealed.
3
The Lid frame should be assembled and fitted after the disposable
screed lid has been removed and the gasket can now be fitted.
4
The lid is supplied with an earth lead and must be bonded to earth
for all power applications. As the lid is only installed when the floor
covering is laid there is less chance the surface finish of the lid will be
damaged.
5
A floor covering insert is required for the lid recess. The dimensions for
the insert are given in the Lid Recess Dimensions section see page 99.
6
Sealing compounds are required for products that are for use in wet
wash environments.
7
The bases are supplied with 35mm wiring space, but with the option
to reduce to 25mm or increase to 45mm with the Cuba-1 or Cuba-2
height adjustment kit.

Screed Depth – 25mm, 35mm and 45mm Wiring Space
Cat 6 Compatibility
With the introduction of Cat 6 data cabling the orientation and depth of
many data outlets has changed resulting in the need for greater backbox
depths and wiring space to accommodate these longer data outlet. No
longer is a 35mm wiring space sufficient to ensure data terminations can
be made to the manufacturer’s recommendations to prevent transmission
losses. As a result MK has introduced 45mm wiring space for the Cablelink
Plus Floorbox systems (as well as for the Prestige 3D wall trunking system).
This easily accommodates the longer Cat 6 data outlets and leaves sufficient
space for the data cable to run underneath it.
