Plastic switch in external meter box

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.

  • I have a friend i went to school with on facebook who is like you BOD.  He corrects every bodies punctuation and spelling .  He is an English teacher and rather annoying ?.  I'm not perfect but usually pretty good.  ?    Any way i took both with me and ended up fitting the metal Lewden switch fuse as it was easier to fit even though it was bigger.   I didn't know that you could fit the tails into the top or bottom of the main switch on them.  it made it a lot easier being able to run both cables into the bottom of the enclosure rather than trying to get a 16mm twin and earth up and round into the top of a KMF.  Before i get jumped on about rcd protection and under sized earth the cable went in under the ground floor floor boards.  No insulation and clipped direct as best as i could in the 2 ft void . I also ran a 10mm earth along side it.  :)
