Flush mount consumer unit

[ppppenguin]

In the good old days you could get the Crabtree C50 flush mount consumer units which projected no more than 0.25" from the wall. Any ideas for one you can get now (17th ed amendment 3 compliant) that sticks out no more than 0.5". As far as I can see MK, Crabtree, Hager, BG all stick out a lot more. Typically 30mm or so.

Jeffrey, if no-one can answer your question here, try posting it on the uk.d-i-y newsgroup. Some very knowledgeable professional electricians on there - I'm sure they'll know the answer.

Bit rare these days, its the thickness of the cover/door over the breakers that fattens them up, and you have to have it fitted.
Contactum maybe?
Or a steel one and sink the whole thing in?

All new CUs are steel to complay with Amendment 3. Yes, I could in theory sink one in further than normal and get it flush that way.

The old Crabtree C50 CUs were steel and recessed the MCBs etc so that the front cover was near enough flush. Only the handle projected slightly so you could open it. So why can't they do that now.
