Where to put the electricity meter
dpmiller replied to MortarThePoint's topic in Consumer Units, RCDs, MCBOs
Some DNOs (NIE) prefer a front corner position for the meter to assist the readers, you'd have to fight pretty hard to get anything other than A unless you go for a kiosk. -
did you try removing the knob and turning the spindle down farther?

Is the height like that to allow service access to the cistern?

As the real issue is fire protection I'd be looking to solidly building in those voids with block, personally?

I can't C&P from the warranty document but what is *actually* says is "the Product has been installed by a competent person who is suitably qualified to carry out plumbing and electrical work"

There's a massive range of TF providers local to us, and while some of them certainly aim at the developer market, none of them do design and kit supply quite the way many of the Scottish firms do.

Combi microwave oven? gimmick?

dpmiller replied to Indy's topic in General Construction Issues

AC knows no polarity
