COMPACT DATA
Installation instructions

Wiring contained inside this product must be installed and Dowel pins x 2
maintained by a competent person in accordance to the
requirements of BS7671 (Wiring Regulations)

We recommend using this trunking with data cable Category 5 or

above and a maximum electrical load of 120A

Compact Data has been designed to be used as a 2 compartment

trunking. The middle section is only intended for mounting of sockets
and accessories. Compact Data is intended for internal use only.
To align adjacent lengths of base use 2 dowel pins in locations shown

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.
All corner covers engage to the trunking by using pins in the same
way as the main 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.

When installing corner covers (internal and external) always cut the
main lid 16mm shorter than the main base and top lid:

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 between two walls it is advisable to

locate a joint in the centre to allow easier access to cabling.

Cutting of base and covers should be undertaken with a fine toothed

saw and finished with sharp knife.

For cleaning use Standard PVC cleaner. Abrasive materials must not
be used as these will damage the surface finish.

All REHAU MAX base profiles are supplied with pre-punched fixing
slots. These are 6.5 x 12mm and conveniently spaced every 100mm.
Cable shelf
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
100mm 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
Base mounting

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 Remove shelf
depth trunking), to allow segregation of cabling.

Cables shelves clip over the DIN rail feature, which is present in the The number of DIN rails present in the base determines
trunking base. When fitting, ensure that the return lip on the shelf the number of shelves that can be fitted to a length of MAX
is facing upwards. Note that the integrity of a base joint is greatly trunking.
improved by ensuring the shelf bridges it.

Accessory boxes clip directly into the base, and should be located Once fitted MAX covers are intended to provide a high degree
prior to fitting covers. 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
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,

and removed by working from an end.

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
Cable retainer
column is greater than 120mm deep (for 50mm deep mouldings or
145mm for 75mm deep mouldings).

Moulded internal corner

Fitting Cable retainers Minimum column depth
120mm

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.
Tech. Info

Fitting of retainers at maximum 500mm intervals is recommended to

provide proper support to the shelf.
Moulded external corner
Unclipping one side of a retainer will permit rotation, thereby allowing
cables to be added or removed without detaching the retainer or Moulded corners
releasing other cables from the trunking.

Support limbs should be removed from the retainer if shelves

are not used. A notch is provided to aid this.

9.21
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.
