Most compact consumer unit....

[Baddegg]

Any thoughts on the most compact consumer units available?
Needs about 8 ways...

I reckon if it needs to be as compact as possible then knowing exactly how many ways needed would be a bonus too.

I’ll second that; as compact as you’ll get! Lovely to fit too.

Good point Andy,there’s 5 circuits at moment but with a unit that small I like to leave a couple spare if possible just to future proof

I hate it when I bring a board to a job and it ends up that I needed a bigger one because there are so many doubled up circuits to split down. Especially important if you are going to order from SBS as you can't pop down the wholesalers for extra bits.

I'd make room for a not so compact CU.

Oh wow I've never seen a 9mm wide MCB before!

Which is why I don’t consider SBS as a serious supplier ...

Yeah it's a concern. Enough to stop me using him regularly I must be honest.
The kit is great though and a doddle to install. If I had a few dozen boards to do in one go I would consider getting them all from him and also buying a stock of devices to cover unseen eventualities.
