Mk consumer units

[WallaceP]

What is the story with them? I thought they were being discontinued (not sure where i heard that tho). But recently i noticed they were selling SPD models that i had never seen before. Have they had a change or heart or is this still old stock?

I was watching a David Savery video the other week and he said MK boards are new being made by another company still under the old MK banner

They were bought over. Wouldn't have missed them anyway nearly as bad as BG.

Watched a recent efixx video about new BG boards. Doubt they'll make the top league, but seem to have listened to feedback and implemented numerous improvements.

Its always good to see manufacturers taking installers suggestions. For too long we have made do with what we have been given.

What are you using now, personally i am between hager and fusebox with the occasional wylex or crabtree if there is already that brand on site.

I only fit full rcbo boards now, currently using Lewden, theyre about £11.50+vat per type A rcbo. The enclosures and spds are cheap. Heard some recent good things about the fusebox so may give these a try soon.

9.50+ vat in Edmondsons and local cef here selling fusebox for 6.50+ vat although I've never actually used fusebox.

I actually find lewden to be very good. None of the slant that some cheaper brands suffer from and cover fits nicely. Shocking that brands like mcg it can be a struggle to get the board cover on.

Lewden and Hager, depending on the client's pocket depth.
Lewden have just started making a new consumer unit with more compact, type A, double pole RCBOs.
I'll be giving them a try when I can...

I've wanted to use Fusebox, but my local CEF doesn't stock them?? Doesn't show up on their website either. How are you getting them from there?

There's only 1 cef branch here that sells them and it just luck it's beside me, I asked that myself and he said they were bringing them in to see if there would be any interest before any other branches would buy into it. Been waiting for an opportunity to try one out.

@Matthewd29 6.50 for a type A fusebox rcbo ???

No that's type A lewden but AC fusebox. I believe type A is around the 8.50 mark also but not sure

Sounds like a good price. I cant get CEF to move much on price. Which leads me to shop online, I tell them what i am buying and for what but they seem disinterested ?
