2 DATA TRUNKING
2.1
COMPACT Data
Further to the success of larger sister product PROFILA data especially
in schools, colleges and hospitals COMPACT data is the result of a
significant investment by REHAU to meet the developing UK cable
management market requirements.
COMPACT data measures just 140 x 50mm complimenting PROFILA
data at 180 x 65mm. With similar aesthetics the REHAU data family
can be connected together by means of an adapter.
The development of COMPACT data has been in accordance with the
requirements of BS EN 50085/6701/50174 and the data trunking
system fully meets the needs of Category 6, 6A and Cat 7 cables.
COMPACT data’s symmetrical design maximises cabling space giving
up to 30% more cabling capacity than other similar sized systems. This
gives the specifier / installer the ability to run a larger number of data
cables through tight spaces such as between desks and window sills.
A Competitive Edge
COMPACT data incorporates ‘Living hinges’ in both internal and
external corners.
These enable truly variable angle corners which allow for walls that
are not 90° true. The inner flexibility of the corner guides enables both
internal and external corners to flex plus or minus 5°. Together with
REHAU’s flexible corner covers, installers can speed round difficult
corners while providing a smart professional finish.
In addition the moulded radius control ensures cables are smoothly
guided around corners preventing impaired cabling performance.
8
Fast, Easy Access
Open design provides full cable support during cable loading for both
top and bottom compartments with easy open access.
Perfect Alignment
When joining two lengths or corners together perfect alignment is
easily and quickly achieved by using the dowel pins supplied.
One-Piece Clip-On Accessories
One-piece joint covers, corner covers and end caps simply clip into
place and are less time consuming to fit than systems that have two or
more separate parts.
Security Rivets
Where necessary for environments such as schools and other public
buildings security rivets are available to discourage tampering.
COMPACT data comes with new moulded Flat angles and Tee pieces,
complete with simple but effective inner guides to steer and separate
data and power cables from one another minimising cabling interference
and complying with relevant standards.
The symmetrical design makes life easier for the installer with only
one flat angle or tee piece to purchase and install.
Pre-Punched Base
For speedy installation, the base profile is supplied pre-punched.
High Quality Professional Finish
All moulded fittings, such as joint covers, corners and end caps overlap
the cover profile when in place to cover any cutting inaccuracies.
COMPACT data, a stylish, well designed system for fast and simple
installation of the very latest data category cabling.

COMPACT Data Installation Instructions
To ensure a safe installation, this product must be
installed and maintained by a competent person in
accordance with requirements of the 17th Edition of the IEE Wiring
Regulations (BS 7671).
To align adjacent lengths of base use 2 dowel pins in locations shown
above. These are available separately.
Detachable Divider
After loading cables inside the bottom compartment the detachable
divider can be inserted as shown below:
We recommend using this trunking with data cable Category 5 or above
and a maximum electrical load of 120A
COMPACT Data is intended for internal use only.
2.2.1. Extrusions
Base Mounting
As top and bottom compartments are continuously supported from below,
data cables can be safely installed in either compartment depending on
cable exit; the following orientation should always be observed:
Ensure the divider is firmly engaged deep inside the locking feature on
the back wall.
We recommend to always install the main base together with the
detachable divider. This component is available in standard PVC and
also in Galvanized Steel for improved EMI protection.
To remove the detachable divider use a spade (flat) screwdriver and
slide starting from one end as shown below:
Please make sure the built-in divider with prepunched knock-outs is
always at the top.
Guidelines:
- Installation of the system should start on an internal corner
whenever possible
- COMPACT Data base has pre-punched holes every 150mm to facilitate
fixing of the trunking. Holes are of elliptical shape to allow for
horizontal movement due to thermal expansion or contraction
- We recommend the use of No. 8 round head screws and washers
- It is recommended to fix the base minimum every 500mm and within
100mm of a cut
Main and Top Lid
Covers are fitted by alignment of the clips with the receptacles on the
base. Apply pressure to engage the clips. To remove, peel the covers
away from the base.
When assembling the top lid ensure the clip engages into the top
receptacle of the base:
- Protective foil should be removed only on completion of the installation
- Trunking runs over 3 mtr. require a 5mm gap between adjacent
lengths of trunking
Dowel pins x 2
NOT OK
OK
PROFILA Data ® and COMPACT Data ® ranges use a common main lid
and socket box range.
10
2.2.2. Moulded Fittings
Corner Fittings (internal and external)
For engaging trunking with corner inserts use built-in pins as shown:
Universal Tee Piece
Provides MBR on every logical cable configuration as well as
segregation between power and data cables. Modular segregator(s)
can be located at cross points to avoid contact between power and
data cables. Tee pieces are fully symmetrical. So there is only one
product for both up and down applications.
Universal Flat Angle
Fully symmetrical injection moulded flat angle for changing direction
90° on the vertical. There is only one product for Up and Down as well
as Left and right applications.
All corner covers engage to the trunking by using pins in the same
way as the main lid:
Adapter
Compact Data offers an adapter to smoothly connect to PROFILA Data
(180 x 65). Separate installation instructions are included in every
Adapter set box.
3. Other Accessories
Accessory boxes clip directly into the base and should be located
before fitting covers.
Lid spacers should be used where boxes are positioned adjacent to
each other.
When installing corner covers (internal and external) always cut the
main lid 16mm shorter than the main base and top lid:
Security rivets For extra-security of moulded accessories, optional
push rivets are available.
To fix, drill a 3.0mm hole through the accessories AND base/top lid
to accommodate the rivet shaft. Holes must be central and 9 mm
away from edges. Finally push plunger until head is flush against the
accessory surface.
Internal corners provide 35mm Minimum Bend Radius (MBR) by
means of built-in ribs.

PROFILA Data
High cabling capacity PROFILA data has been designed to meet the
requirements of the latest power and data cables to be introduced to the
marketplace including CAT6, CAT6A and CAT7.
PROFILA data measures 180 x 65mm overall, being the larger version of
its sister product COMPACT data (140 x 50mm).
Through the use of an adaptor both PROFILA data and COMPACT data
can be installed together, offering consistent aesthetics.
With a large easily accessible data compartment, cables can be quickly
installed without kinking or bending.
New ‘truly’ flexible corners allow seamless installations between
trunking and corner walls that are not at a perfect 90° angle. The living
hinge and pivotal corner covers give an adjustable range of +5° and -5°
in respect to a 90° wall. This innovation is patented.
New injection moulded Flat angles and Tee pieces enable clean, quick
and easy installation, due to the revolutionary flexible modular system.
The innovative design ensures these pieces are universal and can be
rotated for up/down and left/right configurations.
The deepest trunking in its class, with a depth of 65mm, PROFILA data
enables better handling of data cabling. Its unique open design offers
immediate permanent cable support on installation for data and power
cables from below, providing safe, fast and easy installation of cabling.

Socket Box Installation
Socket boxes clip directly into the trunking base profile and should
be located prior to fitting of the covers. Appropriate socket knockouts
should also be removed prior to installing the socket box.
When locating socket boxes consideration must be given to
instructions and guidelines provided by accessory manufacturers. This
will allow determination of best termination practice, allow compliance
with segregation / installation regulations and ensure correct
installation of the steel separator. For details of installation of socket
boxes please refer to ‘Adjustable Socket Box Installation Guidelines’.
In some configurations alignment pins and sections of cable guide
must be removed or bent to allow covers fitting in place.
Cover Fitting & Removal
Ensure all power has been isolated before covers
are removed.
Covers are fitted by alignment of the clips with receptacles on the
base, and application of force to push the clips home. Removal is
achieved by peeling the cover away from the base.
We recommend to use countersunk screws with 3 to
4.5mm gauge.

PROFILA Bench Trunking Standard and Antimicrobial
The PROFILA Bench Trunking is a robust system based around
a triangular shaped PVC-U main base profile and a single lid,
making installation faster and less expensive than alternate options.
High impact resistant material and reinforced design make PROFILA
Bench Trunking the perfect solution for demanding applications where
hard wear is the norm.
Compatibility with our versatile adjustable socket boxes provide
up to 48mm internal depth, allowing installation of larger
electrical accessories.
Added safety for dangerous environments
The main base features robust ribs that raise the back and bottom
walls up from the surface level. Spillages of dangerous materials
can frequently occur in laboratories and workshops and this feature
helps keep cables and accessories inside the trunking away from them.
This greatly reduces the risk of health and safety hazards in learning
and working environments.
Endcaps have an overlapping fitting design which increases the
tightness of the fit and reduces the risk of liquids entering the trunking.
Antimicrobial option
On specific projects all external components can be produced with
antimicrobial properties embedded in the PVC material providing
long-life protection against the most common types of bacteria.
Designed specifically to help reduce micro-organisms which may cause
harmful infections and diseases in environments such as hospitals and
schools, REHAU’s cable trunking can incorporate BioCote’s silver-ion
antimicrobial technology which reduces the occurrence of micro
organisms and inhibits the growth of both bacteria and mould.
Tests have shown that products incorporating this technology
at the time of manufacturing help reduce levels of bacteria including
MRSA, E-Coli, Salmonella and Listeria on surfaces by up to 99%.

Pillars (require on-site configuration)
These back to back units are ideal for conveying services straight from
ceiling and underfloor voids.
They can be configured to use the longest side against walls to keep
a low and unobtrusive profile whilst offering increased socket density.
Pillars are easily customisable on-site.
High configuration 104mm (h) x 90mm (d)
This configuration maximises the useful worktop area and is the
recommended default orientation when continuous lengths of trunking
are installed against a back wall and on top of a working surface. It is
also recommended when back to back lengths are to be used.
Low configuration 90mm (h) x 104mm (d)
This orientation is recommended when available space above the
worktop is limited i.e. under a window frame. Not recommended for
back to back applications as the footprint size will take up a larger
surface area.
Twin configuration 104mm (h) x 180mm (d)
Suitable for power distribution across middle of worktops. It can easily
connect to standard perimeter trunking, bench trunking or underfloor
systems. This configuration can also be used on island locations
allowing on-site customised lengths.
Pods available as standard items
These are standalone preassembled units for fixing directly to the
working surface and ideally suited for island locations. For island
locations where the back of the Pod is not against a wall a purpose
made blank can be fitted to improve the aesthetic appearance of the
rear surface.
Single Pods
Single pods with 1 or 2 gang outlets can be placed with the longest side
horizontally to improve stability, or the shorter side horizontally to reduce
the footprint.
Non-standard Pods
Pods can be made to exact customer requirements for numbers of
sockets, Part M compliance etc.
Specials may also be configured to negotiate corners, if required, with
asymmetric leg lengths possible.
Special adaptors can be manufactured to allow direct connection
between desk-mounted Bench Trunking and perimeter dado trunking for
speedy installation onsite.
Desktop Columns
Versatile units perfectly suited for situations where a high outlet density
is required in a single feeding point i.e. conference rooms or ITC suites.
12 Socket Column:
For installation on desks and worktops, the standard 12 outlet column
provides the most compact option. these units can be fitted with
Contrasting Socket Modules for Part M compliance.
Custom Columns:
Custom made units for fewer or more outlets can be supplied to exact
customer requirements.
Different segregation options
A choice of modular dividers allows maximum flexibility regarding circuit
segregation into 1,2 or 3 compartments.
Twin Pods
Twin pods with 1 or 2 gang outlets have the two shortest sides
horizontally in order to maximize useful working area yet providing
excellent stability.
Socket points can be concealed in a small area of 180 x 180mm
making it an ideal solution for hotdesking and similar modern
configurations.

Adjustable Socket Boxes – Data and Bench Trunking
The demand for power and data outlets in public and private buildings
is increasing as new bandwidth hungry applications are being quickly
incorporated into different aspects of our daily lives.
With the advent of new technologies heavily relying on
telecommunication and electrical installations, cables and outlets are
becoming more sophisticated and the correct installation has never
been so critical.
Data cable manufacturers continuously have more stringent
installation requirements and in most cases these are mandatory
to warranty channel performance. This is why REHAU, aware
of the importance of these issues, has developed an innovative
adjustable socket box design that complies with the strictest
requirements of the top 10 data cable manufacturers.
The new design can safely house a variety of CAT 6, 6A and even
CAT 7 modules thanks to its generous depth range from 38 to 50mm
(depending on trunking type).
Other features include:
- Location of cable exit knock-outs corresponds to the geometry
of most common telecommunication modules.
- 45° up and down
- Straight
- 90° up and down
- Sideways
Double Socket Adjustable
- Concave back wall, which eliminates right angles and corners.
This will facilitate feeding back any remaining extra cable out
of the box and into the trunking without dragging in internal
corners. The feature will also avoid sharp bending and damage
to the external sheathing of the cable as well as helping maintain
the required Minimum Bend Radius.

Antimicrobial Trunking
For the study, the classroom was equipped with a range of products
protected with BioCote antimicrobial technology. These included:
Decorative Panels computer desks, Proform chairs, Salto door
handles, Electrium light switches, Deb soap dispensers, Rehau cable
trunking, Electrium sockets, Proform and Decorative Panels tables
and bookcases, Gratnells storage trays and units, Highgrade carpets,
Contour Casings radiator covers, Miele window handles, HMG Paints
paint, BioClad wall cladding and a Waterlogic water dispenser. All items
were provided by BioCote customers to create a safer, more hygienic
learning environment. Levels of bacteria on the items of interest were
measured over a period of time. Simultaneously, data was collected
from comparable but untreated items in another classroom. Comparison
of the levels of bacteria in these two classrooms revealed a dramatic
difference.
Initial findings were impressive; the antimicrobial products in the
protected classroom were shown to be over 95.68% less contaminated
with bacteria than the corresponding items in the unprotected
classroom.
Designed specifically to help reduce micro-organisms which may cause
harmful infections and diseases in environments such as hospitals and
schools, REHAU’s cable trunking can incorporate BioCote’s silver-ion
antimicrobial technology which reduces the occurrence of micro
organisms and inhibits the growth of both bacteria and mould.
Tests carried out by the supplier of the technology, BioCote, have
previously shown that products incorporating the ionic silver at the time
of manufacture, typically help reduce levels of bacteria including MRSA,
E-coli, Salmonella and Listeria, on surfaces by up to 99%.
The world’s first ever antimicrobial classroom has been created at
a Primary school in the UK, resulting in huge reductions in levels of
bacteria. BioCote Ltd, a leader in the field of antimicrobial technology,
worked in conjunction with users of its technology to create the world’s
first ever classroom that actively inhibits the growth of potentially
harmful microbes.
22
Technical Director and microbiologist at BioCote Dr Richard Hastings
said: “We are very proud to be part of the world’s first ‘antimicrobial
classroom’. We were keen to undertake the study in a school
environment due to the close-contact nature of children in the school
classroom - providing the perfect setting for potentially harmful bacteria
to spread. We are happy to announce huge bacterial reductions on
BioCote treated products, affirming our aim of a cleaner classroom for
young children.”
Government guidelines recommend schools prevent the spread of
infections by maintaining a clean environment. BioCote treated products
work effectively with standard cleaning practices, making for an even
higher level of cleanliness.
The study will continue throughout the academic year and further data
will be collected. The BioCote team are keen to understand if levels
of contamination vary due to seasonality, the identity of microbes
recovered and what potential antimicrobial technology has for reducing
absenteeism due to sickness.
REHAU’s new antimicrobial trunking provides an additional level of
protection against microbial organisms, which can also cause product
deterioration, discolouration and bad odours.
Case Study – Proven Reduction InBacteria In A School Environment
School classrooms present the classic factors important for the
efficient spread of microbes; close contact of people for prolonged
periods, numerous commonly touched, communal surfaces and
isolated cleaning. Hygiene in these environments is, therefore,
important in order to reduce the risk and consequences of microbial
cross contamination. Inevitably, good hygiene guidance for education
providers from government1 includes regular, thorough environmental
cleaning. However, developments in antimicrobial technology now offer
the ability to create indoor environments composed of materials that act
continuously by reducing the presence of microbes contaminating them.
The rationale for hygienic classrooms is obvious. Does the application of
antimicrobial technology to a classroom have a beneficial impact?
Study Aim
To measure and compare the numbers of bacteria in two classrooms
in the same primary school after antimicrobial technology has been
extensively applied to one whilst the second is unchanged.
Method
In the autumn of 2014, a medium-sized UK primary school was selected
as suitable for the purposes of this environmental study. A classroom
was refurbished computer desks, chairs, door handles, light switches,
liquid soap dispensers, cable trunking, sockets, tables, storage trays,
bookcases, storage units, castors, carpet, radiator covers, window
handles, wall and ceiling paint, PVC wall cladding and a drinking water
dispenser all treated with BioCote® antimicrobial technology. Products
were donated for the purpose of this study by BioCote Ltd Partners.
A second classroom was included in this study to serve as a control
environment. The demographics of both classrooms was suitably
comparable. Both classrooms were used and cleaned as normal. Typical
daily cleaning of school classroom involves the wiping of sinks, draining
board and table tops, sweeping the hard floor and vacuuming carpet.
In addition, a weekly clean involved dusting of computers, shelves and
worktops and mopping of non-absorbent floors.
A weekly collection of swab samples began in November and extended
for three weeks. Antimicrobial products were swabbed from the
antimicrobial classroom whilst corresponding, untreated products and
surfaces in the control classroom were swabbed at the same time.
Swabs were collected before and after the school day and processed
appropriately in the microbiology laboratory to isolate, count and where
possible, identify bacteria (data not shown here) recovered from the
study classrooms.
Results
Total environment. The difference in total bacterial counts between the
classrooms: 95.68%. A comparison of the average number of bacteria
recovered from all BioCote treated products with all corresponding
products in the control classroom revealed almost 96% less bacterial
contamination in the antimicrobial classroom.
Product-Type. The difference in average numbers of bacteria recovered
from the various products of each classroom varied from 30.3% to
>99.99% (Table 1).

Discussion
The two classrooms studied were chosen due to their similarities in use,
location and demographics. From this basis, the difference between
the two classrooms was the presence of antimicrobial technology. It is
reasonable to view the reduced counts of bacteria on the antimicrobial
products, comparted to the control classroom’s counterparts, is a direct
result of those products’ continued antimicrobial performance. Before
release into the market, products treated with BioCote® technology
are validated for acceptably high antimicrobial efficacy. In theory, then,
reduced counts of bacteria contaminating BioCote treated products
deployed in working environments, compared to equivalent but
untreated products should be expected.
Previous environmental studies measuring bacterial counts on
antimicrobial surfaces also reported them to be less contaminated than
untreated counterparts 2,3.
Antimicrobial technology should not be viewed as a replacement to
cleaning. However, the repeated observation of considerably fewer
bacteria present on antimicrobial products, regardless of product
type and when the observation was made, compared to those counts
made from the control classroom, presents a compelling case for the
application of antimicrobial technology to hygiene-critical environments.

Fire-Resistant Cable Retention Brackets for PVC Trunking
BS 7671 Amendment 3: 2015 includes the requirement that wiring
systems in escape routes shall be supported such that they will not
be liable to premature collapse in the event of a fire. This precludes
the use of non-metallic cable clips, cable-ties or Cable Trunking as the
sole means of cable support. In other word, where non-metallic Cable
Trunking is used an additional fire-resistant means of support and
retention must be provided to prevent cables falling out in the event of
a fire.
Whilst non-metallic trunking is not normally used in escape routes,
other areas (e.g. trunking close to doorways etc) may be considered
by a client to require similar protection. Furthermore, for installations in
educational and health establishments, or where there may be mobility
issues, it may be considered by the client that this higher level of
safety is desirable.
REHAU have therefore developed a range of stainless steel Brackets
designed to be fitted at intervals inside REHAU Trunking. When fitted
with stainless steel cable-ties these Brackets provide the required fireresistant cable support wherever this may be deemed necessary.
Installation of the Brackets is quick and straightforward simply
utilising the Trunking fixing screws. This means that Brackets may also
easily be retro-fitted. Brackets ‘click-fit’ into position, which avoids
having to hold the bracket in place whilst the fixing-screw is fitted.
Brackets accept stainless steel cable-ties to secure the cables in place
in the event that a fire compromises the support offered by the Cable
Trunking.
Fire-resistant brackets are currently available both for the REHAU
COMPACT Data and the REHAU PROFILA Data Cable Management
Systems.
Effective 1 July 2015, an amendment to BS7671 ‘Wiring Regulations
for the UK and Ireland’ has had an impact on some installations of nonmetallic Cable Management Trunking.
It has been recognised that in the event of a fire, non-metallic cable
trunking, or other non-metallic means of support, can fail when subject
to either direct flame or hot products of combustion. This may lead to
wiring systems hanging across access or egress routes such that they
hinder evacuation and fire-fighting activities.
24
BS 7671 specifies safety requirements both for power and data cables.
Therefore Fire-Resistant Cable Retention Brackets, when used, must
be incorporated into all pathways in which cables will be run. For
this reason, REHAU supply brackets in pairs to match the trunking being
installed.

Additionally, the location of sockets must be carefully considered.
Generally it is not acceptable to install sockets into a compartment
which is directly adjacent to the floor as the cable bending radius will
prevent plugs being fitted. This applies to PROFILA 3 Sets E and F and
PROFILA 2.
Use of Extension Piece
Extension pieces may be fitted to either side of the PROFILA 3 base or
top of PROFILA 2 to increase cable capacity.
The integral cable shelf on PROFILA 3 can easily be removed by
snapping off along the notch provided.

Box installation
Cover profiles overlap lugs on the accessory boxes, and the joint line is
concealed by the accessory faceplate.
Cover spacers should be used where boxes are positioned adjacent to
each other.
Cover Fitting and Removal
PROFILA 3 covers are intended to clip into the base and provide a high
degree of security and protection to the cabling inside.
The covers are designed to be removed by gripping the cover close to
one of the clips, and peeling perpendicular to the plane of the wall. This
is repeated for the other clip, before peeling along the cover length.
Covers should always be fitted, and removed by working from an end.
The integrity of an installation is increased when the
base and cover joints are offset. Protective foils should
only be removed on completion of the installation.
The appearance of a joint is improved if the joint covers are vertically
aligned.
Moulded accessories provide a 6mm overlap with the covers to allow
for variations in cutting.
Use of Standard mouldings is only possible with columns

Installation
Cable shelf
To ensure a safe installation, this product must be installed and
maintained by a competent person in accordance with requirements of
the 16th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).
Base Mounting
All REHAU MAX base profiles are supplied with pre-punched fixing
slots. These are 6.5 x 12mm and conveniently spaced every 100mm.
Use of No.10 round head screws and washers, or hammer wall fixings
is recommended.
Fitting of shelf
Cable retainers should be used in conjunction with the shelves to
improve support. (See Cable Retainers section below).
Shelf removal is easiest using a flat bladed screwdriver. The
screwdriver blade should be inserted into the outer ‘U’ feature of the
shelf foot at the end of the length. The shelf can then be released by
using the screwdriver to lever the clip open. Once the end of the clip
has been released, the shelf can be removed with a peeling action.

No.10 Round head
screw + washer
Over tightening of fixings must be avoided to prevent damage to the base.
Adjacent lengths of trunking should be butted against each other. For
applications where joining of base lengths is required self-adhesive
couplers are available separately.
Use of Cable Shelf
Shelves may be quickly fitted to MAX base profiles (only 50 + 100
depth trunking), to allow segregation of cabling.
Remove shelf
The number of DIN rails present in the base determines
the number of shelves that can be fitted to a length of
MAX trunking.
See Product Section for details.
Cables shelves clip over the DIN rail feature, which is present in the
trunking base. When fitting, ensure that the return lip on the shelf
is facing upwards. Note that the integrity of a base joint is greatly
improved by ensuring the shelf bridges it.
29
Accessory Box Installation. (Only MAX 100/50)
Accessory boxes clip directly into the base, and should be located
prior to fitting covers.
Cover Fitting And Removal
Once fitted MAX covers are intended to provide a high degree of
security and protection to the cabling inside. This is especially
important for installations where cabling is to be installed across
a ceiling.
Removal of covers is easiest using a flat blade screwdriver.
The screwdriver blade should be carefully inserted between the
inside edge of the cover and the clip on the base.
Box
Spacer
Cover
Box installation
The covers are intended to overlap the accessory box to improve
integrity of the installation.
For instances where boxes are positioned adjacent to each other cover
spaces should be used.
Cable Retainers (Only available for 100/50 & 100/100)
Cable retainers clip directly into the base.
Cable retainer
Fitting Cable retainers
In addition to restricting movement of cabling, the retainers also
provide support for the cable shelf. This is particularly important where
the weight of cabling is higher.
The screwdriver should then be twisted to prize open the clip,
allowing the cover to be released. This is repeated for the clip
on the other side, before peeling off the cover length. Covers
should always be fitted, and removed by working from an end.
The integrity of an installation can be greatly improved
by ensuring that joints between base sections are offset
from joints between covers.
The MAX 100/50 is supplied with protective foils on the base
and cover. These should only be removed on completion of the
installation.
Moulded Accessories
End cap and corner mouldings clip directly on to the MAX
trunking, and provide a 6mm overlap to compensate for
variation in cutting of the covers.
Internal / External Corners
Corner mouldings are available for the following sizes- 50/50,
75/70, 75/75 & 100/50.
When installing on columns ensure there is sufficient room to
allow fitting of the mouldings. Moulded fittings may only be
used where the column is greater than 120mm deep (for 50mm
deep mouldings or 145mm for 75mm deep mouldings).
Moulded internal corner
Fitting of retainers at maximum 500mm intervals is recommended to
provide proper support to the shelf.
Unclipping one side of a retainer will permit rotation, thereby allowing
cables to be added or removed without detaching the retainer or
releasing other cables from the trunking.
Moulded external corner
30
Support limbs should be removed from the retainer if
shelves are not used. A notch is provided to aid this.
Moulded corners
Minimum column depth
120mm
Joint Cover
Moulded joint covers are only available for the 100/50 size.
A gap of 10mm should be left between cover lengths to allow fitting of
joint covers.
The sets comprise a pre-fabricated housing section, and a DIN rail
mounting bracket.
General Notes:
Before removing covers or undertaking any maintenance
to a trunking installation, the mains electricity supply
MUST be turned OFF.
When installing a single length of trunking between two walls it is
advisable to locate a joint at the centre to allow easier access to cabling.
Cutting of base and covers should be undertaken with a fine toothed
saw and finished with a sharp knife.
For cleaning of MAX trunking use Standard PVC cleaner. Abrasive
materials must not be used as these will damage the surface finish.

The following guidelines outline the procedure for installation of
accessories as part of a SL Skirting trunking system.
nstalled and maintained by a competent person in
accordance with requirements of the 17th Edition of the IEE
Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). Before attempting any installation,
it must be verified that all systems have been isolated.
- Determine the desired accessory location and clip the segregator
onto the trunking base. (In the case of SL 70/20 the sides of the
segregator must be snapped off prior to fitting). A minimum gap of
30mm should be left when installing accessories next to each other
- The wall fixing back plate can then be positioned by aligning the
location pips with the holes in the top of the segregator. This allows
marking of the wall fixing holes through the back plate
- Once marked the fixing holes may be drilled. Wall fixing using 6mm
diameter rawlplugs and screws with a maximum diameter of 4.5mm
is recommended
- Appropriate knockouts can then be removed to allow feeding of
cables through the segregator. Ensure sufficient cable to allow
proper termination of the accessory
- The socket housing may then be fitted. This clips to the trunking
base and is retained by fixing the accessory faceplate
- Once accessory installation is complete the trunking covers may be
fitted to complete the installation

Chemical Resistance
RAU-PVC 1309 is resistant to most diluted and concentrated acids and
alkalis and also to aqueous salt-solutions. It is resistant to mineral oils,
vegetable oils, paraffin oils, alcohols, benzine, aliphatic hydrocarbons,
and higher fatty acids. Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride swells or
becomes soluble in esters, ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons, carbon
disulphide and other solvents and is therefore not resistant. See Chemical
Resistance table for further information.
Weathering and Ageing Resistance
Because of its chemical structure, RAU-PVC 1309 possesses an inherent
excellent resistance to ageing. Colour stabilisers used in recipes for Cable
Management Products have a Wool scale light fastness of 8. This is the
highest result achievable and represents permanent colour fastness.
General Characteristics
REHAU LEH cable trunking is manufactured from RAU PCAB-648. This is
a thermoplastic blend based on polycarbonate and ABS which combines
the advantages of a polymer with a halogen free material and minimal
release of toxic gases in the event of a fire.

Thermal Properties
RAU-PCAB is suitable for application range -25°C to +90°C.
Moulded Components
The materials used for moulded accessories are selected so their
properties compliment those of the PVC trunking itself.
These material are as follows:RAU-PS - Polystyrene
RAU-ABS - Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
RAU-SB - High impact polystyrene
Combustibility
Being a hydrocarbon with high chlorine content, RAU-PVC 1309 is
difficult to ignite; it is also self-extinguishing.
RAU-POM- Polyacetal
Thermal Properties
RAU-PVC 1309 is a thermoplastic. The physical values therefore vary
with changes in temperature.
Aluminium A1 Mg Si 0.5 according to BS 6063.
Bonding
RAU-PVC 1309 can be bonded to itself and other materials quite simply
using normal commercial adhesives for rigid PVC; a very good bond is
achieved. The adhesive manufacturer’s instructions should be observed.
