Fill unused holes in Henley block

[pc1966]

I might need to remove an old heater CU leaving some cable holes in the Henley block where its tails currently go. Anyone got a good suggestion for an insulating plug for those holes?

If you can’t get any, I’ve got a couple in the van if you want me to post them up.

Just the blanks…. Not the whole blocks

Thanks for the offer - finally I can send a "stamped addressed envelope" like in the old days!

Also to add, the taper around the DNO fuse is apparently due to the seal hole, etc, being damaged. Though the smart meter install took place after then (or maybe caused it?). Again, not something I'm inclined to monkey with.

I don't know what the green metal box at the bottom is (one white cable exiting sideways, two black cables exiting downwards) either. I suspect it might be some sort of outdoor thermostat that was part of heating control, but if anyone recognises it can you let us all know?

the box down the bottom.... it looks like some sort of sounder.... the two holes have buzzers underneath?
No idea if that's right.... just brain chatter

Next time I am there I can investigate with a voltage tester at least to see if it is still live, etc.

I suspect many properties end up with odd remnants of past installations. What is odd about that is it being out in the meter cabinet, it has no obvious controls which is why I wondered if it was a thermostat or similar.

Plus 1 for weatherproof compound.
It fits in very snuggly.

What's wrong with a tube of decent RTV silicone, such as this:

Momentive RTV 162 Silicone Adhesive 83ml - White

Momentive - RTV 162 - Momentive RTV 162 Silicone Adhesive 83ml - White - <p>This single-component <STRONG>white adhesive </STRONG>from

It has the advantages of fitting any shape/size of hole.
I expect some of the cheaper tubes/cartridges will work as well, though better to get one rated for electrical use.

Surely that tube would not fit in a Henley Block?

Still think the best idea is a Golf T.
