100X50 PVC Trunking proftech

100X50 PVC Trunking provides reliable cable management for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations. This robust ducting system features a spacious 100mm x 50mm internal cavity, accommodating multiple cables while maintaining organized, professional-looking installations that comply with electrical safety standards.

Dimensions and Capacity Specifications

The 100X50 PVC Trunking measures precisely 100mm in width and 50mm in height internally, providing 5,000 cubic millimeters of cable capacity per linear meter. This generous cross-sectional area accommodates substantial cable bundles, including power cables, data networks, telecommunications wiring, and control circuits within a single protected channel.

External dimensions typically measure 104mm x 54mm, accounting for the 2mm wall thickness that ensures structural integrity under normal installation conditions. Standard lengths range from 2 meters to 3 meters per section, with connecting accessories available for extended runs.

Key dimensional features include:

• Internal dimensions: 100mm width x 50mm height
• Wall thickness: 2mm for structural stability
• Standard lengths: 2m and 3m sections available
• Cable capacity: Approximately 15-20 standard electrical cables
• Snap-fit lid design for secure closure

Material Properties and Durability

Manufactured from high-grade PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), the 100X50 PVC Trunking offers exceptional resistance to environmental factors that commonly affect electrical installations. The material maintains dimensional stability across temperature variations while providing inherent flame-retardant properties that meet building code requirements.

The PVC formulation resists UV degradation, moisture absorption, and chemical exposure from common cleaning agents and industrial environments. This durability ensures long-term performance without brittleness, discoloration, or structural compromise over the installation’s lifespan.

Installation Methods and Mounting Options

Professional installation of 100X50 PVC Trunking utilizes various mounting methods depending on surface materials and installation requirements. Wall-mounted configurations employ specialized brackets that secure the trunking while allowing easy access for future cable additions or modifications.

Surface mounting represents the most common installation approach, using screws or adhesive mounting systems appropriate for concrete, drywall, masonry, or metal surfaces. Concealed mounting options integrate the trunking into wall cavities or suspended ceiling systems for aesthetically sensitive environments.

Installation considerations encompass:

• Bracket spacing every 600mm to 800mm for adequate support
• Expansion joints for runs exceeding 10 meters
• Proper bend radius maintenance using corner accessories
• Access points for cable pulling and future modifications
• Compliance with local electrical installation codes

Cable Organization and Segregation

The spacious interior of the 100X50 PVC Trunking enables effective cable segregation, separating power circuits from low-voltage systems to prevent electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity. Internal dividers and separators further organize different cable types within the same trunking run.

This organization capability proves particularly valuable in commercial installations where multiple building systems require separate cable routing. Network cables, security systems, fire alarm circuits, and power distribution can coexist within the same trunking while maintaining proper separation distances.

Accessories and System Components

Comprehensive accessory ranges support the 100X50 PVC Trunking system, enabling professional installations that navigate complex architectural features. Corner pieces, tee-sections, end caps, and joining connectors create seamless cable routing paths around obstacles and through building structures.

Standard accessories include flat bends for 90-degree turns, external corners for wall transitions, internal corners for recessed installations, and reducing sections for connecting to smaller trunking sizes. These components maintain the system’s protective integrity while accommodating diverse routing requirements.

Fire Safety and Compliance Standards

The 100X50 PVC Trunking meets stringent fire safety regulations required for electrical installations in commercial and residential buildings. The material’s self-extinguishing properties prevent flame propagation, while low smoke emission characteristics enhance occupant safety during emergency situations.

Compliance with relevant standards includes adherence to electrical installation codes, building regulations, and fire safety requirements. Professional electricians recognize this trunking as suitable for concealed and exposed installations where fire-rated cable management systems are mandatory.

Applications Across Different Sectors

Versatile applications make the 100X50 PVC Trunking suitable for diverse installation environments. Office buildings utilize this system for desk-level power and data distribution, while retail spaces implement it for lighting circuits and point-of-sale system wiring.

Industrial facilities benefit from the trunking’s chemical resistance and durability in manufacturing environments. Healthcare installations leverage the system’s easy cleaning characteristics and electromagnetic shielding properties for sensitive medical equipment connections.

Common applications include:

• Office power and data distribution systems
• Retail lighting and security system wiring
• Industrial control panel connections
• Healthcare facility electrical infrastructure
• Educational building technology systems
• Residential home automation networks

Maintenance and Long-term Performance

The 100X50 PVC Trunking requires minimal maintenance throughout its service life, thanks to the material’s resistance to environmental factors and mechanical wear. Periodic inspection of mounting brackets and lid security ensures continued protection of enclosed cables.

Cleaning procedures involve simple wiping with standard commercial cleaners, maintaining hygiene standards required in healthcare and food service environments. The smooth internal surface prevents cable snagging during installation or maintenance activities, protecting wire insulation from damage.
