Extrusion and constructionThe ATK series is an
extruded aluminum track designed for use with A-Line track fixtures, and the ATK12-BK is the 12-foot black section of that family. The body is constructed of 0.06" extruded aluminum with a 0.045" PVC bus bar support that holds 12 gauge round bus bars — a straightforward, rigid assembly that keeps the conductors aligned over a long span. A polarity groove is located on the face of the track to indicate the location of the grounding conductor, which makes it easy to keep multiple sections oriented the same way when you join a run. Nominal lengths in the series are 2', 4', 6', 8' and 12', so a
lighting track layout can be built from a single long piece or from several joined sections.
Electrical and light distributionThis is a
single circuit power distribution system designed to supply lighting units flexibly. Single hot and neutral conductors are rated for a maximum capacity of 20 Amps, meaning 2400 watts per circuit at 120V, and the copper electrical conductors are concealed inside a low-profile thermo-plastic track section. That headroom is what makes track so practical: modern
LED track heads draw very little power, so a single run can carry a generous number of fixtures while you keep the total load within the rated capacity of the circuit. Because light is aimed rather than fixed in place, you get accent, wall-wash and task light from one power feed.

Installation, mounting and compatibilityThe track is surface mounted using the supplied mounting hardware, and suspended mounting is available with accessories ordered separately — the RODR 12" hollow stem rod, the RODF hollow suspension rod kit, the ATKA250 4.75" sloped ceiling canopy kit for down-rods 2"-96", or aircraft cable sets such as the ATKM420 suspension kit with 180" aircraft cable. Feeds and joiners are chosen to match the layout: ATKP09 single circuit live end power feed, ATKP02 'L' and 'I' power feed connector, ATKP03 'T' power feed, ATKP04-1C 'X' power feed connector, ATKP08 center feed, ATKC01 'I' connector and ATKC05 flexible connector. Current limiters (ATKPCL-06-1C, ATKPCL-09-1C, ATKPCL-11-1C, with 1~14 amp options) are also part of the family. The track system is compatible with all A-Line and Juno style track fixtures, accessories and connectors. Note that the 12-foot option is not available in the US; an 8-foot section with a 4-foot section and a joiner achieves the same 12-foot run.
Applications and documentationTwelve feet of continuous rail is ideal for a retail wall of merchandise, a gallery hallway, a restaurant banquette, an office corridor, a long kitchen island or a finished basement — one run, one feed, many aimable heads. Compatible LED track fixtures listed for the series include APOLLO LED, SORA LED, ATLAS, DELTA, FLEX, TEARDROP, DINE (T-LEDDNG), FOCUS (ATF8010), Flight (ATF7607 and ATF7610) and the ATF7250, ATF7415, ATF7425, ATF7509, ATF7545 and ATF7630 heads — including the
8.5W LED track head ATF7509-DTW-38-BK and its white version, the
ATF7509-DTW-38-WH. Matching 12-foot finishes are available as the
ATK12-SL in silver. The full technical PDF spec sheet is in the Documentation tab, with the technical drawings, the ordering guide and the complete accessory list.
