Applications in healthcare sites
with Unex products

Rooms and reception areas

New content individual 1

In patient rooms, installations can be made on a single wall or around the perimeter.

Here we can find call bells, gas or fluid pipes, switches, equipotential sockets and other installations that may arise over time.

For this type of installation, Unex recommends the Trunking 93 in its different finishes, as it allows most of the switches on the market to be installed.

In addition, the design of the adapters that fix the switches and gas inlets in the trunking prevents their unintentional extraction.

Laboratories

In these spaces, the trunking can carry wiring and piping and can sometimes be integrated into laboratory furniture or run along the perimeter of the walls.

The most important thing is that this installation can be accessible so that it can be modified according to the needs of maintenance or the installation of new equipment or services.

The trunking 93's interior cover design allows it to be attached to or embedded in walls, partitions and furniture, favouring its integration into the environment.

Public areas: corridors, receptions, waiting rooms

Public areas: corridors, receptions, waiting rooms

As in any building for tertiary use, those in the social and healthcare sector have areas classified as public areas. The cabling installations in these spaces may be for distribution or for powering workstations.

In the first case, Unex has insulating ranges such as Cable trays 66 or Trunkings 73, and in the second case, it has Trunkings 93 to adapt mechanisms and other solutions such as Service poles 50, Furniture supplies 51, etc.

Installations in these spaces are critical to the proper functioning of the building. 

Factors such as humidity, corrosion and electrical insulation are key to the correct choice of material in these locations. 

For all the above reasons, the use of Unex Insulating Cable Trays 66 and Insulating cable ladders 67 is particularly suitable in galleries as earthing is not necessary, reducing the risk of indirect contact and eliminating leakage currents into the conduit.

Rooftops

Rooftops

The roofs of social and healthcare buildings are often used for photovoltaic installations, air-conditioning, etc. 

As they are outdoors , the cables and pipes in these installations must be duly protected with insulating products, contributing to the optimum performance of the equipment.

The most suitable Unex insulating ranges for rooftop installations are Cable trays 66 with cover and Trunking 73. These solutions have more than 45 years of experience in outdoor installations under direct UV exposure.

Garages

Garages

In any garage there are general installations (lighting, security, public address system, detectors), link installations, electric vehicle recharging and common telecommunications infrastructures. All of them must meet demanding requirements that guarantee the safety of the installation and users.

Unex has products for all installations that run through a garage. 

The main Unex insulating ranges for these locations are Cable tray 66 with cover and Trunking 73, as they meet regulatory requirements, simplify installation and blend in aesthetically.
