Volex or GE split load consumer unit?
I notice that Screwfix sell two split load consumer unit kits and wondered
what people thought about the brands. I have always stuck to MK in the past but these prices from Screwfix are excellent, if they are any good. First is by Volex http://tinyurl.com/tfa0 £60 Second is by GE http://tinyurl.com/tfaa £74 They also have one on clearance for only £50 but the brand is Clipsal, which I have never heard of. Has anyone else? I suspect it is just a badged box. Thanks for any advice. Rob -- Tel. 07010 703 702 Replace SPAM with ORG to reply |

They stocked the Clipsal before switching to GE. I've got the clipsal and it does the job; enough knockouts in the right places, although the plastic is a bit rough in places. The DIN rail is thick enough, the switchgear operates OK, so I can't really say it has any faults. As it's tucked away under the stairs it is fit for purpose. -- Toby.

I got the Clipseal garage CU from them and imho it quite good. |

Thanks for all your advice - I think for the extra £10 I will go with the
Volex since the Clipsal is discontinued and you never know if an MCB or similar might fail in the future. Cheers Rob |

So other issues notwithstanding that'd give me confidence in using their branded product. cheers Richard -- Richard Sampson email me at richard at olifant d-ot co do-t uk |
