ABSTRACT:
A method for installing a ducting system with branches, wherein at the point of a branch in an existing duct of the system a tubular branch element with an inlet opening, an outlet opening and at least one branch opening is arranged by removing a duct portion from the existing duct at the point of the branch, by sliding the branch element on one of the free ends of the existing duct resulting from the interruption, re-placing the removed duct portion or a portion identical in shape in the interruption and moving and securing the branch element in such a manner that the inlet opening and the outlet opening engage in sealing manner over the respective ends of the existing duct. In the duct with branches, over the entire length thereof, a bundle of subducts can be arranged, which subducts can then be branched off in a simple manner at the location of a branch. In a duct thus branched-off, for instance a continuous fiber optic cable can be installed.
