Many thanks
In the last 2 weeeks I have fitted 3 5x5 Hagar boards.
On testing both pre fitted RCD's failed on all 3 boards.
The replacement RCD's worked fine.
Be warned.

Can anyone shed some light on this...

Am confused by the two 'types' of EICR - i.e. for either single or multiple distribution boards

Chaps,
We have a roof coming up which is close boarded.
Anyone have experience of such tings? Are you cutting out areas of the close board so the roof anchors sit direct on the rafters or are you bolting the anchors down on top of the boards?

How many others on here who (Like me) are fed up of getting to a job only to find that some turnip has either boxed in the dis board so you cant get the front off never mind gain access or its been mounted in a totaly inaccessible place....
