I am probably the only member who has actually witnessed a plastic CU fire.
I have seen the clouds of blinding noxious smoke that is produced.
From the LFB’s point of view, the cause of a CU fire is immaterial. It’s the result of such a fire that is their concern.
You can blame Part P, you can blame dodgy materials, you can blame poor workmanship.
At the end of the day, if CUs are not made from a material that burns like a house on fire, the problem is solved.
Once all CUs are metal, we can concentrate on swapping all the old flammable cast iron heads for plastic.
