    I DON'T NORMALLY WISH MY LIFE AWAY, BUT,   ROLL ON  01/01/2016!! With many customers on holiday  Aug / Sept., business is traditionally poor for me, during these months. HOWEVER, THIS YEAR, SALES ARE REALLY DOWN!! The reasons I believe are:- I didn't have metal boxes for those already...

    Hi Brummydave, Sorry I missed you at the Show  and sorry I didn't see your post until now. You were not the only one pestering CPN and I have eventually given up on them. They have had quality problems and are now having delivery problems. Later today, I shall publish my Winter 2015 Price...

    Some Members will know about my double-decker boards and I have sold over a dozen on the Forum. I have 6 boxes in stock, which I am keen to sell to those members who can use them on a Domestic job this year or on a Commercial job in the future. The box with switch is normally £30.00 + VAT...

    Hi Blue Duck, Yes , there is a 4-module / 2-way metal box in the Range. It is an MCU04 using CPN ref.. My ref. will be ENC-4CM. I will be stocking a few. 4 is the number of modules, with the Main Switch taking 2 of them, which leaves 2 usable ways. All my enclosure models use the same...

    I now have stocks of Compacts and a few Schneider Metal boxes also. Should have the CPN boxes in shortly, along with CPN Standard RCBOs, for all-CPN Assemblies. SBS Dave

    I AM HAVING A BIT OF A CLEAROUT!! Hopefully, you will find some these items useful and at a good price. UPDATE ON METAL BOXES I am hoping to receive stock of the CPN range within the next 2 weeks, for those who have already decided to switch to metal. In the meantime, I shall have a few...

    Hi kerching Thanks for your kind words. I will take that as a compliment!! Looking at the images on the Internet, I would say they are not compatible. The Armeg blade shaft is initially hex, but becomes round with 2 different diameters. I think the Armeg and Haupa products are not...

    TORQUE SCREWDRIVERS   It would appear that all the SCHEMES are now pushing their members into buying a Torque Screwdriver, in order to comply with BYB 134.1.1 and 134.1.4.  And they are all offering torque screwdrivers in their on-line shops. As far as I can see, they are limited offers for...

    THE S**T HAS REALLY HIT THE FAN!! I was expecting a shipment from China this week for Compacts, to top up the fairly low stocks I have reached, mainly due to a cracking July. Yesterday, and only after I enquired, they told me it could be 23rd August before they ship. This morning, they tell me...

    :slap Hi andy, First time I have used a smiley, as I didn't know where to find them. I like your observation and of course, that's exactly why CPN brought out the black option.!! The householder won't realise the box has been burned black, so relieving them of any stress. This could lead...

    Thanks M107, I am glad you were able to put the bottle opener through its paces. Hopefully the torque screwdriver will be as useful!! Phoenix, I forgot to answer your last question. The LEDs are battery powered and operated by a CU door switch.   I wouldn't call it a "must have" feature, but...

    Hi Phoenix, No, I am not planning to rebadge the boxes, otherwise a CU with a CPN box, CPN switch and CPN RCBOs, could be termed Mix & Match, even though it wasn't, just because it said SBS on the box. The box above with the CPN badge would be in complete compliance with BSEN61439-3...

    Hi Steve, Not only is the Compact my main selling point, ie my USP, but it also represents 75% of my turnover. I will be having the CPN boxes certified to BSEN 61439-3, when populated with my Compacts. This will cost me a few thousand pounds, so I am not about to give up selling Compacts...

    I have finally decided on my metal box range, after all the frustrations of trying to bring in a range from China. CPN Cudis is a British Company, who have tried to offer the nearest thing to a Domestic Consumer Unit, it terms of style and appearance. The fact that they are just 35 minutes up...

    Metal Consumer Units ?

    I was going to offer them for sale, but I couldn't buy them Wholesale. They are a brilliant piece of kit for cutting metal boxes. SBS Dave

    Yesterday, I posted the comments below on the NAPIT Forum, in response to opinions about EICR coding of plastic boxes after 01/01/2016. Quite a few people agree with my point on screw torques, judging by the good sales of my Torque Screwdrivers. Thanks guys!! "IMHO, if the original plastic CU...
