Hi All Members

Can anyone Please advise where I can source a 16x25 end/stop cap as shown in photographs

Kind Regards.

That's probably not an end cap, it's likely an external bend with a bit cut off

 

[Pete999]

What size, there must be identification on the trunking if was fitted to

Hi All

Thanks for you replies, I can confirm it is a single fitting with NO alterations.

The end cap slides over the trunking. There is no marking on the trunking itself.

It was fitted by a Contractor working for PHS Group.



Kind Regards.
Jag.

why not just cut a bit of trunking lid to suit and glue over the butchered end that you have?

I'd disagree, it's had a little slot nibbled out of it, probably for a phone or alarm cable to escape from.

Hi All.

This end/stop was used on 16x25 mini trunking when a contractor installed a hand dryer. The little slot nibbled out was the outlet for 1mm 3 core flex.

and whoever did it didn't know what a rat-tail file was for.

Have a look at the Marshal Tufflex web page

Why Pete ?

 

[westward10]

Nasty job doesn't offer suitable cable restraint. Fit an outlet plate.

 

[suffolkspark]

screwfix, they sell tower ones in packs of 2 for cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

 

[Pete999]

Why Pete ?

Oh I dunno thought maybe it was MT trunking and if it was he might be able to identify what he wants. Or he could take a trip to B&Q, Homebase. Wickes, Maplins, CEF, Eddies and look for himself, or Screwfix or Toolstation. Do you have any bright ideas that could help him? I just though that was a good idea, because I can't identify trunking by just looking at it unlike some,

 

[onions1066]

That is an mk external angle with a piece cut off 100% because we do it that way everyday.

 

[westward10]

Ditch it and do a proper job.

Proper job? What is wrong with that?

Pete, no need to justify yourself to me, I think you quoted my post by mistake ?

You asked me why Dave, or have I got it wrong?

The cable is not suitably restrained from the fcu, the p clip serves no purpose other than offering cable support. If you can pull that cable from the fcu, which you can then it is not restrained.

Right I thought you was referring to the end cap. I will put my attitude right back in my bag and toddle off

 

[Dave OCD]

Only as you'd quoted my post in your suggestion Pete, mine was only commenting over the nibbled out bit. Anyway not to worry mate, I think I'm a bit dozier than usual tonight, busy day and it was a hot one too.

That is a stop end that has had a chunk out of it.

It's an external angle! Look at the sides you can see where it changes from rounded to flat where part has been cut off

 

[Octopus]

Why do you need another one?

 

[onions1066]

Did you manage to get one?

 

[JagSingh]

Thank you all for your informative & helpful replies. I will follow "onions1066" advice and use an external angle. I had a look at Marshall Tufflex website and was unable to locate the part. Any idea of the name and part number, for future reference ?

Kind Regards.

PS. Amazing forum

 

[onions1066]

It is MK trunking angle. Go to any wholesaler apart from CEF as they don't deal with MK. Edmundsons stock them 100%

Never have I ever used a corner, trimming to to an end cap!

Defo a corner with modification. Can see a lip where it's been cut. I do a proper job and trim it so it looks fresh out the shop
