    Afternoon lads. Just a quick question regarding above. Do any of you guys know if a Henly or similar with both top and bottom entries exists? Reason for asking is that I would like to run straight into the top of the Henly from my main isolator instead of running down and then into the bottom of the unit. From the bottom just two sets of tails would be coming out instead of two sets plus feeders - its more aesthetics then anything really. Thanks lads.

    All the single pole ones have three entries one side, and two on the opposite.....

    I prefer a pair of single pole sat abutted to each other than a double pole one.

    Its more to do with space than aesthetics, usually you have no space to have two side by side

    Two single poles are not any wider than a chunky double pole?

    Why is there about 3 meters of earth coiled up on the gas bond... I hate seeing that.

    With that coiled earth, in the event of a current to earth fault, there could be a massive induced current causing a magnetic field. By my calculations it may be strong enough to rip the gas meter from its position. This could cause a gas explosion.
    I have to condemn your electrical installation under the gas safe thingy.

    Even worse. Judging by that installation chaos theory would suggest that the moving of an earth clamp could cause a tidal wave. That whole room should be ip44 rated.

    Should have stated in a meter box where the space is an issue Lec

    WPDs look identical, but as with their heads these days, are all allen screw (for the allen type screwdriver).
