	No one noticed this when they purchased the trays? Have you contacted the maker of the ducting and asked them? Must we do everything for you? If all else fails drill your own holes. Be sure to buy drills with one sharp end for this.

	Are you certain with only one sharp end? How is he supposed to drill the other side of the conduit? Do you recommend he buys two drills. I think your a drill salesman.

	I'm surprised Lyn-Door haven't come up with a double ended drill. If you go for the idea I only want a 20% cut of the profits __________________ The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

	What type of duct(ing) is this? Medium voltage, low voltage, Voice/Data, HVAC?????? Who is the manufacturer? What is the part number? Did any installation documentation come with the duct(ing). Best suggestion and as Lyn responded "have you contacted the maker of the ducting and asked them?" While I await your reply, I will attempt to consult with the amazing Karnak for answers to your perplexing dilemma. __________________ The first 5 days after a weekend are always the hardest................................

	Hi All, This ducting is for low voltage, I have contacted the maker of the ducting and the advise just bundle all the cable using tie, my concern is on the vertical part, because the straight run is about 15M. Regards

	You are correct, 15M is a long vertical span with no support. Did you voice this particular concern with the maker? What did they say? __________________ The first 5 days after a weekend are always the hardest................................

	Are we talking cable ducting, or cable tray? what size cables? How many? Are you running cables, or string? cause string will fall even with a tin can at either end. if you are running 2.5mm 2c+e and it is ducting similar to the pic then i suspect you are thinking too much about the problem. __________________ Everything works out in the end, just not neccessarily how you want
