some sad people on here that have nothing better to do than pick out other members imperfections for their own enjoyment rather than add something to the thread.

Noggin & metal box is always prefered, im happier having cables enclosed in an earthed metal enclousures when buried in a wall through a fire barrier, wonder if metal dry lining boxes may become neccesary instead of the cheap plastic things, happend to cu's so why not get rid of these nasty plastic things too for something sturdy & earthed.

I am happy to use drylining boxes. However I was called to a conference room to renew one as obviously someone had tripped on a plugged in something, and the box came right out of the wall. Cables exposed and so on. Also as far as I understand these boxes are supposed to be lined now with fireprooof material, bought in packs. Anyone know about that ?

I've used the fire-proof man play dough known as a putty pad. It basically sticks on the inside of the box. It's supposed to help with sound proofing too. It's more useful as the weapon of choice when the apprentice doesn't listen and he's 10 foot away. Roll it into a neat ball and aim for a head shot.
