Cable trunking allows multiple cables to take the same path instead of occupying every available space with individual conduits for each wire.\r\rTrunk lines have been traditionally used by electric utilities for distributing alternating current powering large electrical equipment such as elevators, escalators, electric railways, and industrial machinery. In modern systems, high-bandwidth fibre optic communication uses the technology which replaces copper conductors with glass strands.\r\rCable trunking is typically made from steel or plastic, although some manufacturers also offer flexible semi-rigid tubing. These materials are typically selected for higher mechanical strength compared to standard PVC or another flexible plastic conduit.\r\rCable trunking is usually used in large buildings containing many communication lines, such as office buildings and skyscrapers, but may also be installed in residential homes for networking or distributing television signals throughout a property.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Why is cable trunking used?","text":"Cable trunking is used to protect and run multiple cables through your building so that they can be easily accessed when necessary.

Cable trunking tends to be less expensive than wire conduit because it requires no support from wall studs, though installation costs for both may vary by the cost of a professional, such as an electrician, and the number of cables being installed.\r\rCable trunking can also be helpful if you need coaxial cable TV signals brought into every room without installing a cable tray or other support system.\r\rCable trunking is composed of either metal or plastic and cut to the lengths needed for a specific project. Flexible materials make it easy to pull cables through but may be more difficult to secure in place unless you use straps with cable trunks that are made from a flexible material. \r\r","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What are the benefits of cable trunking?","text":"There are many benefits accruing to trunking. Cable trunking enables the consolidation of many wires into one single container, the trunk. Having individual wires together in a single trunk will protect cables from damage caused by vermins or rodents. \r\rCable ducting makes the work neat, look organised, and tidy. Cable ducting protects wiring installed in external spaces or walls from accumulating dust.\r\rTrunking increases safety, especially in walked areas. Possible tripping hazards emanating from naked or exposed wires are eliminated. Electrical cables should never come into contact with water. Trunking further reduces such chances of cables being exposed to water.\r\rThe benefits of trunking at home or the workplace go beyond health and safety reasons. Holding cabling in trunks enables easy access during repair or maintenance.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Does cable trunking come in different sizes?","text":"Cable trunking comes in different sizes, depending on the number of cables you need to run.

On average, it has been shown they use considerably less energy compared to their counterparts. A new condensing unit typically uses around 1,500 watts, while old ventless designs might require up to 3,000 watts (which is still less than some older dryers). Keep in mind that these machines shouldn't be operated on high heat settings because they're designed for residential, not commercial use. For more information on energy efficient dryers, take a look at the Australian Government's Energy Rating website.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What is a heat pump tumble dryer?","text":"Heat pump tumble dryers are much more energy-efficient than conventional dryers that rely on a mechanical drum or tumbling action to remove moisture from clothes. The heat pump technology they run on works by extracting heat from the surrounding environment (air or water) and transferring it to wet clothes inside the machine's drum via a cold evaporator coil.

The heat pump tumble dryers achieve superior energy efficiency because of the underlying condenser dryer technology they rely on. Most models claim to be able to provide similar energy savings as Energy Star washing machines - some can save up to 50% of your electricity bills compared to traditional tumble dryers.\r\rThey're also very quiet and can do a much better job at preserving the colours in clothing than most typical dryers. Some heat pump tumble dryers come with sensors on the drum that constantly monitor how much moisture is inside clothing. This allows them to automatically switch to low heat settings when laundry is about 3/4 of the way dried, saving electricity and preventing overheating.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How long does a heat pump dryer take to dry clothes?","text":"Heat pump dryers are much faster than conventional dryers because they rely on heat pumps, not combustion or mechanical tumbling, to extract moisture from laundry.

Most of these machines will also require professional installation (around $100-$200), making them cost more to buy and install as commercial or home appliances.\r\rThere are also reports that some users find these appliances quite difficult to operate at first because of the digital display and different cycles available on modern models - be prepared to spend time reading user manuals before using one.

The guy that served me asked if i was looking to have the windscreen fully replaced. I told him no, even though we have insurance on our vehicle its just a chip and we would like it fixed because I have had similar chips in my windscreen in the past fixed by a private autoglass repairer in Sydney. The guy then suggested we go for a walk because it will take them 30 to 40 minutes to fix. I came back an hour later and the chip had not evened changed. The guy at Auto glass said he was sorry that they could not do anything to repair the chip and that they will not be charging us. I couldn't believe he even suggested that because it looked like they didn't even attempt to do any sort of repairs to the chip but made an excuse that they couldn't fix it due to dew in the glass. The only thing they did was move my car. Dishonest and deceitful would not recommend to anyone."}}}
