Trunking Installation
Prior to any trunking installation, inspect for damage to equipment. Immediately repair or replace
defective item(s).
NOTE: Always assemble trunking sections on a level surface.
1. Section together to make double trunking.
2. Attach tie angle to single trunking as shown in Figure 7D . (If 42" diameter or larger install cross
tie angle.)
3. Multiple sections can be ground assembled.
4. Make sure sections are assembled straight, without twist.
5. Caulk all mating companion angle surfaces to ensure water and dust resistance.
NOTE: Do NOT assemble more than thirty (30) linear feet at any time.
NOTE: It is important to maintain plumb and square trunking in all directions.
• Guy and plumb trunking in all directions after installing each section.
• Check levels through legging installation process.
• Check all connecting hardware is secure after each installation.
NOTE: Attachment bolt holes in the tie angles are intentionally tight for the 1/2" diameter bolts. This helps
ensure more precise plumbing of the trunking. Never drill these holes out for easier installation.

CAUTION
NEVER drill out attachment holes for easier installation of the 1/2" diameter bolts.
If bolts are hindered going through hole, thread bolts through to reduce chances
of damaging threads.
