Changing consumer unit

[L1Jay1]

Is it ok to use existing 16mm tails when changing consumer unit if the fuse is 80 amps

If they are in good condition, then yes, there was a thread about this very thing the other day, have a search for it.

Ok , it’s just that in the regs it says 25 mm

The DNO here complained the last time I installed 25mm tails in, lol

LOL. NIE have their moments.

They also hate the MET not being in an ISCO outside the DB, and internal copper pipes not being bonded even where the incomer is plastic. I doubt they'll ever change!

If you have to ask that question then why are you changing a board?

Which regulation says that?

Its fairly standard for sparks to uprate the tails to new 25mm ones even if it isn't strictly required...
I don't do many domestics these days , but i always used to stick a tenner on every board change to fit new tails... just something i did
