[QUOTE="boltonsparky, post: 506021, member: 4678"] Even though the regs say there's no need to fire seal it it seems daft not to as I thought the whole point of amendment 3 metal consumer units was to stop the spread of a fire from the consumer unit. If anything, leaving it unsealed at the back would be chimneying the fire to exactly where you don't really want it to be going. That's not a dig at you by the way, it's at the stupidity of bringing in a reg that only in part achieves what was intended, not that that would be the first time. Thanks for the link, I'll take a look at them. [/QUOTE]
