Metal Trunking Bends and Connectors

Metal trunking bends and connectors are the horizontal bend, curved, T and four-way connector parts used where a sheet metal cable trunking route changes direction or branches off. These pre-formed parts let cables run in an uninterrupted bed at corners, level changes and branch points without the trunking having to be cut and bent on site. This category includes UKS 90-degree horizontal bend, inside bend, T, vertical T and four-way connector elements in side heights such as 40, 60 and 100 mm, sheet thicknesses such as 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm, with pre-galvanized and hot-dip galvanized coatings. Choose the element with the same side height and width as the trunking in the run, of the same type (normal or heavy duty) and with the same coating, depending on whether the route turns horizontally or vertically. A horizontal bend and a curved element should not be confused: the horizontal bend turns the trunking to the right or left in the same plane, while the inside bend changes level by turning the route in the vertical direction. The covers for these elements are listed as separate products in the metal trunking covers group.

How to choose Metal Trunking Bends and Connectors

Metal trunking bends and connectors are the horizontal bend, curved, T and four-way connector parts used where a sheet metal cable trunking route changes direction or branches off. These pre-formed parts let cables run in an uninterrupted bed at corners, level changes and branch points without the trunking having to be cut and bent on site.

  • Clarify whether the task is connection, cable routing, enclosure distribution or termination.
  • Match dimensions, thread standard, conductor cross-section and IP rating with the cable and panel.
  • Choose housing material and pack quantity according to the mounting environment.
