fitting an ESB meter box

if cavity wall are spikes provided in the box.

If not whats the usual

If solid wall being chased, can the unit be fixed through the back, having removed the internal back panel?

Thanks as always

Ive never used spikes

Just drill through side slots and big rawl plugs and screws with a big washer (or express fixings)

I wouldn’t remove the back timber plate if fixing that way either

Just drill straight through and use express fittings or big rawl plugs.

drury..

Side fixings only imo

Sometimes a batten if too wide for box

Thanks

I think the back plate is plastic, will look later. Side fixings tough to drill

The fixing won't have have the same strength if fixed at the back

A pulling force will rip the box out and it risks damp or worst case an ESBN refusal to connect if they spot the back fixings

They're within their rights to do so

Anyway looks like your one of these people who get the correct advise and then ignore it

God bless America and the ignore button
