Ah that makes sense, the protector is a bit more substantial and far more rigid than grommet strip and clips securely into the large rear knockout, I thought it was a good idea.

I will probably go for that 1 next time then

They also make one without the knockouts top and bottom. I also fit Hager as standard. What I have found is that there isn't enough of the supplied grommet strip for all 3 rear knockouts.

Ha, ditto. You can either do one rear knockout and a tail entry, or two rear knockouts. Not enough for any other combos though unless lots of the smaller knockouts.
I find the rear knockouts are big enough to accommodate all of the cables through one.

The notched grommet strip is better anyway. I might have to get a box.

My prefered choice is the mem one over wylex...fitted this the other day it said it was amendment 3 compliant on the box ;-)

Amendment 3 compliant fuse carriers and hinges, and possibly double pole fusing, a look into the 18th edition. :juggle:

Still have half a box from 20 years ago.

I have fitted I think 6 or 7 design 30 boards now, very nice, I have and always will only use hager.

i have to say I was a little worried about going to metal as plastic was easy to cut etc, but now, there's not a chance I'd go back. There is so much more space in them.

No use at all really Pete, the supply in this case is a 16mm T&E sub main, but as they were there I used them anyway.

Not having a go at you mate just saying with all the hullabaloo about securing tails they could have come up with something better that that

No I know you're not Pete.

I agree with you, although when tightened up it does clamp quite firmly.

Tunnel terminals and twin screws wouldn't be a bad start Imo. Like the wylex board Tel put a pic up of

What about the odd cable clamps for the incomers? not much use in this particular case are they?

You got a free thanks from me there. My hand slipped on my phone and it thanked you but I couldn't remove it, so let's just say you owe me one now LOL
