how to change meter tail?

[bluesky]

Hi all,

this might be a silly question for you, i need to replace a 16mm meter tail with a 25mm one, but how to disconnect the meter tail from henly block? i had a look of the henly block, there were no screws,

thanks,

Never seen a henley without any screws before.

Are you sure they weren't allen type (hex top) screws???

i see, there are two black screws on the top, i will try them, cheers,

did you have the covers off them. Make sure and isolate them before doing anything.

push come to shove disconnect the tails at the dno fuse and rip the block off the wall.
but like has already been said surely there has to be some form of screw for inspection and termination purposes.

'A 16mm tail' - not a pair of them?

surely thats not great advice for someone with what seems like little experience. Plus would the tails not be comin from the meter to the henley not direct from the fuse.

Not getting confused with a dual henly where the screws are hidden under the neutral terminal block

the way i read it hes a member of the 'arms' and therefor a member of a competent persons scheme and would therefore should be experienced enough to distinguish the required information from what i have said.
but yeah youre right the tails sould come to the henley block via the meter, at this point they would need to be disconnected to replace - my bad.

yes i am fully qualified and registered with part p, but i have not touched the meter tail honestly, i said that this is a silly question but just wanted to be honest.... so i will ask clever questions only from now,
