Fastening micro-conduit to the wall

Any suggestions as to how to fasten mini-conduit to the walls of my coats cupboard?

Hot glue

Funny enough I'm also fastening mini-conduit/trunking to the wall of my coat cupboard, and used hot glue.

Apply the glue to the wall, not the conduit. It cools a bit too quickly quickly on the conduit, which caused a mess as I had to redo that one.

For the deluxe method method of mounting, route out a trough channel that will take the mini-conduct inside a strip of soft wood.

For us this affords some bump protection where in a cupboard we've stored a Henry Vacuum cleaner. But I've also noticed placing 5 of these assembled strips side-by-side vertically makes a nice decorative feature on the wall, useful for routing cables down from a flat panel TV, and a cinch to change.

Coat cupboards, the in place to be ;-)

Some comes with an adhesive backing already attached.

Peel off of protective film and push firmly in place. Clean surface thoroughly first with something like IPA if the material isn't affected by it. You only really get one chance of positioning it, doesn't stick much if you have move and try again.

I did this with the smallest screwfix trunking. It's been up for over a year holding up to 3 lightweight surround sound speaker cable pairs. (I'd use something larger for mains wiring.)

I didn't do this. The trunking is stuck to emulsioned plasterboard, in reasonable condition. I vacuumed off any loose dust.

But, OP was asking abouy conduit.

[Graham Nye]

Oval conduit should be able to use double-sided tape or glue. Round conduit will need to use conduit saddles to fasten it (or perhaps a steady hand with a hot-melt glue gun).

Using mini-trunking (i.e. with a clip-on/over lid) will save having to thread cable through, if that's an issue (e.g. not a straight run of conduit).

Which is what I meant.

Although I normally use self adhesive and find that works, I have occasionally used a few small screws (typically 4 x 3/4 inch) when fastening to a slightly curved surface. That still leaves room in the small square type (not the very shallow one) for one run of 2.5 t&e or two of 1.5 t&e.

Drill and screw it?
