What Size Trunking - T0?

[Barx]

Whats the smallest size PVC mini trunking you can get called?

I'm after the stuff that security engineers sometimes use for alarm cables or door access drops etc. I would hazard a guess it is 16mm x 8 or 10mm. I always thought it was called T0 but when I went into wholesalers and asked it they did it, they looked at me like I had 3 heads. T1 (16 x 16mm) is the smallest they have (tried 2 places). Is this stuff still available? And if so, what do I ask for. Any ideas who stock it.

I only need 1 length and need it for a security install at the weekend. for a keypad drop, no other way to do it without damage and T1 isn't so covert

cheers

you need or want

16/16mm standard or

10/8mm self adhesive

These are the smallest sizes available.

What about some of that D line trunking?

Its quite discrete.

so 10 x 8mm is a available? That sounds ideal it only need to hold 1 x 6 core alarm cable.

I think that's my last resort. But it rather expensive and I'd priced this expecting to pay £3-4 for the trunking not £15 - 18. My fault I know, It's for a family member so it's quoted at cost, not making anything on it. If I cannot find this elusive small trunking I seek, I could phone them and give them the option, 16 x 16 or an extra tenner...

Never heard of them :Blushing Are they a sponsor? where they based?

I would think the cost of postage for something 3m long would outweigh a length of d-line. Who knows.

After posting that reply I checked out the sponsor list and visited their site. Doesn't look like they do trunking...

 

[Barx]

Look what I just found, I think that will be a reasonable item. It was the depth I was concerned about.

I call it YT 1/2 as YT0 would be infinitessimely small and YT1 is 16 x 16 :innocent

I have actually used some trunk that is designed without a 'lid' the wire just sort of shoves into it....like a 3m long clip

As you have found..

Both Wickes and B&Q do the really small stuff...

I think the B&Q stuff is TOWER brand and looks a tad neater than the Wickes one...

Slightly curved corners...

IIRC they both do them as single lengths or bundles of 10.
