Recessed MK boards ....

[Octopus]

Ok - being very lazy and could do with some input from the collective!

Viewed a refurb the other day and the existing CU is one of these:



So my question is - (I'm not a MK fan) is there an current product that would be an almost direct refit?

Thanks

MK make skeleton boards to fit mantel still as do other makes.
Google "Mk Skeleton"

They were specific I think but they do do other recessed boards also. Do you have dimensions?

Murdoch don't like MK, TJ saw some Siemens ones at ELEX on Friday, give them a pattern of any decorations and they will offer a cover to the same pattern or color for a small price I would guess.

I knew they are still available - just hoping somebody would know if the current ones would be a direct replacement?

Try asking MK directly Murdoch, get a better answer that way.

A good clean and some sentry RCBO'S would do! Looks like a smokers house!!!

I have looked at the MK site and its not too forthcoming - so yes a call is my next step

Not sure mate tbh. Don't really do houses and you don't see them often. I did do a Mantel one a few years back, it was Wylex and was such an easy swap!

Well.......That unit looks pretty grubby!! What's the rest of the house like? That will be one of those jobs where you bring your own flask of tea and say "No, I'm alright for a drink thanks" lol

I would say probably not. All there stuff will be based on the current A3 layout. I had an old plastic stacked one I replaced. The metal equivalent had slightly different dimensions.

If your client has got a few bob, when not convince them about the Hager 50. You can have them painted any colour or bespoke artwork. They even have it sprayed that camel ---- green colour

Why does it have to be MK?

Doesn't have to be, but I suspect the size of the hole in the wall will dictate what I do next!

Stripping the guts out & mounting a new board straight on top not an option?

It doesn't, but you will need to be sure that the new OCPDs or RCBOs meet the requirements of BS EN 61439-3, or even a product recall, failure to do so could result in a F1 or even a C1 or C2 on any future EICRs

It’s in the hall, so a surface unit won’t really be a suitable replacement

I’ve sent the photo to MK now so I’ll let you know what they say ..... their website is carp

Let the Forum know Murdoch, it will be interesting.

I will ... assuming they respond to me

Yes, hope they will.
