BG Consumer Unit at Screwfix

[ARWadsworth]

Just a heads up for anyone considering buying a CU. The BG CUs are actually very good IMHO and that is not a bad price.

With an "integral spirit level", how lazy is that?

[ARWadsworth]

ISTR Hager also have them. Not fitted Hager for over 12 months.

Newteam showers also have them in the riser rail!

Thanks for the heads-up, time to replace my old Wylex unit with fuses.

But: "Integral spirit level" ? wtf?

The only snag is that you are stuck with the MCBs that screwfix supply. My wholesalers do the same offer but you get to choose the MCBs. I have some spare BG MCBs. Just email me if you need any and I will see what I can find.

And the BG RCBOs are not expensive.

prefer to fit a hi-integrity CU and supply some circuits from RCBOs (often the smokes and the kitchen sockets)

Well I suspect two possibilities..

its curved so a real spirit level doesn't fit well.. the electricians get too drunk to use a real spirit level.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

A true 'electrician's spirit level' will read correct on one of the two possible options. ;-)

Most of my work nowadays is shop work where all that's needed is 1 x ring and 1 x lights. All those unused fuseways....

One of my CUs is square and level relative to the backboard it is on. The backboard is squiff. Blame Sheffield Corporation Electricity Department ;)
