GRP Meterbox brochure

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and guidelines for domestic electric meter boxes, focusing on single-phase and three-phase installations, as well as weatherproof and custom enclosures.

Single-Phase Electric Meter Box: These boxes are designed to house single-phase electric meters in the UK, complying with ESI Standards. They can be recessed into the wall cavity or surface-mounted if necessary. Installation requires specific dimensions and sealing to prevent moisture ingress.

Installation Guidelines: Service cables should not be fitted inside the wall cavity but must run vertically up the outer wall, entering the meter box from the underside. A cable guard or pipe is recommended for protection. Builders must ensure the cabinet flange is water-sealed and a polythene damp-proof course is fitted.

Weatherproof Meter Boxes: Made from Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), these boxes are suitable for indoor and outdoor use with an IP65 weatherproof rating. They include a fire-retardant timber backboard and are available with opaque or clear doors for easy equipment reading.

Three-Phase Electric Meter Box: Required for high power distribution, these boxes are recessed into the wall cavity and must comply with ESI standards. Similar installation guidelines apply as with single-phase boxes.

Replacement Doors: Meter Boxes Direct offers a range of replacement doors for both electric and gas meter boxes, accommodating changes in specifications over the years.

Custom Enclosures: Custom-designed enclosures are available upon request, with contact details provided for further inquiries.

Additional Information: The document includes dimensions for various meter boxes and doors, emphasizing the importance of compliance with standards for safe and effective installation.
