Trunking
Conceal pipes neatly.
Keep the building looking right.
Sysclad trunking covers exposed pipework and protects it from the elements — supplied with or without punched louvres, with corners, lids, and joint clips included as standard options.
Solid or louvred options
Gas, electrical & general pipework

What it does
Protects pipework and improves the finished appearance of any building.
External pipes are an eyesore and vulnerable to weather, impact, and UV degradation. Sysclad trunking encloses them cleanly, protecting the pipework while maintaining a neat, consistent facade finish. Available in solid form for general pipework or with punched louvres for gas applications.
DUct types
Solid or louvred — choose what the pipe requires
Solid duct
For general pipework and electrical conduit. Fully enclosed to protect against weather and impact. Electrical ducts should be suitably earthed.
Punched louvre duct
Required for gas pipes. Louvres allow airflow so any leak disperses safely rather than building up inside the duct. Sides must be sealed back to the wall with an approved sealant to prevent gas entering the wall cavity.
INstallation notes
Gas pipes — seal the sides
Seal the sides of the duct back to the wall with an approved sealant. Gas escaping into mineral fibre insulation must be prevented — the louvres handle dispersion, the sealant handles containment at the wall.
Electrical ducts — earthing
All electrical trunking must be suitably earthed in line with current wiring regulations. Confirm earthing requirements with your electrical contractor before installation.
Louvres — gas pipes only
Punched louvres are specifically for gas applications. For all other pipework, use a solid duct — louvres on non-gas runs serve no purpose and reduce weather protection.
