Plastic switch in external meter box

aligarjon
Can i fit a plastic switch fuse such as an 800kmf in the external meter box or does it have to be metal.   I am not interested in the dno view, they always seem to be happy with our switch gear in there around here so long as we leave them enough room.

    OK, I have a white plastic box on the wall of my house; or in fact, two of them. One has the DNO's and supplier's tackle and the other has a switch-fuse. I reckon that both are my boxes on my land. My land! So where is the legal basis for the DNO "owning" one of them?


    The boxes belong to you.  If a door falls of a box, it's up to you to replace it at your expense.  But if you expect them to supply you with gas or electricity, then you need to provide a box that is acceptable to them.
