[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 506027, member: 250"] If it was an essential requirement manufactures would include such seals and charge even more for a CU ... Seams daft sealing up every nook & crevice just to make it a real sod if you ever have to go back and add a new circuit into the box!! Also when the blanks to cover any unused MCB slots are just a bit of clip-in plastic!! Forgotten how many Metal CU's have been used during annual inspections.. ? and so far the topic of fire sealing a CU has never arisen.. I did ask once if you should be fitting metal blanks to fill in the spare MCB positions.. and told no need.. So why fire seal the back.. But not the front where all your protective devices poke their nose out? :C [/QUOTE]
