BG consumer units

Half the manufacturers and bodies are responsible for perpetuating the myths themselves. Think that's why the reg was given 6 months, so that they can get their facts right.

Now I remember Hager exhibiting one of their 3A CU's (Elex Show, Harrogate 15), which had be subjected to a glow wire test; 'As you can see, no flames came out of the board, and no scorching to the cables (entering the CU)'. Just standard metal 3A CU, with no sealing around cable entries.

Fire retardant membrane cable entries, even non combustible metal blanks. Nice little earner Wylex :banghead:

Screwfix do seem now to be clearing out the non-Amd3 boards, sometimes at good prices for the internals.

For example, a few weeks ago, I bought a BG "12-Way Split Load Consumer Unit 80A RCD & 100A Switch" discounted down to £12. The housing itself is ----ed away, but the 80A RCD would have cost me £19 had I bought it on it's own.

Same here, I bought 2. :biggrin:
