Henley block

Built on CPC they are 'connector blocks', and elsewhere 'service
connector blocks' too.

CPC: LA04540 and LA04541

You snipped the bit where I actually said that.

The Henley name has now become semi-generic.

The generic name is a "service connector block". Many made by Henley and
hence that has become a common name for them as well. (MLA is another
very common brand)

Typically available in single and double pole, and a variety of ways
with five being common.

Ahem, I can see why you might think that, but ISTM Charles was not
replying to your post and so could not have snipped it. The more so as
his post shows at 13:36 and yours at 13:43 sign of a good lunch I
hope )

Am I the only one who finds it easier to use blocks rated for for up to
35mm2 cables 'cos it's hard to get 25mm2 tails into the 25mm2 ones? (I
fit them with cable entry from below to meet IP rating.)

Ah, my apologies to charles. Didn't notice it was another reply - they
arrived here in a different order!

I don't recall having particular difficulty with the 25mm^2 ones...
(then again perhaps I was fitting 16mm^2 tails ;-)

It's the 6mm (metric equivalent) tails I had problems with, getting all warm and droopy when I showered.

Ah, you should have directed the shower over them a bit to keep them
cool ;-)

I was wondering if he was still on about the tails.

Ideal solution there. I've always thought if you ran the shower supply pipe through the CU you could cut down on the copper use - and maybe dispense with the electric shower & its cable.
