The product expansion follows Amendment 3\u00a0to the BS 7671 IET wiring regulations, which\u00a0affects more than just non-combustible\u00a0enclosures for consumer units. Switchgear\u00a0assemblies within household circuit protection\u00a0also need to be made out of metal to reduce the\u00a0potential risk of fire, leading Hamilton to develop\u00a0the Metal Fused Switch.<\/p>\n
The Metal Fused Switch is suited for domestic\u00a0household premises and associated outbuildings:\u00a0garages\/workshops, plus larger multi-occupancy\u00a0dwellings such as flats\/apartments and\u00a0sheltered\/student accommodation.<\/p>\n
Finished in matt white, the Metal Fused Switch\u00a0features a robust metal enclosure with removable\u00a0gland plate on the top and bottom, with\u00a0knockouts at the rear, and comes with one fire\u00a0retardant gland adaptor as standard. A solid metal\u00a0drop-down visor blends in with the stylish\u00a0enclosure. The units are supplied with either a\u00a063A, 80A or 100A fuse, and a two-year product\u00a0guarantee.<\/p>\n
The Metal Fused Switch complements\u00a0Hamilton\u2019s range of products for rewiring a house,\u00a0including consumer units, lighting and audio\u00a0controls, as well as Hamilton\u2019s vast collection of\u00a0switch plates and sockets in a range of different\u00a0metal, plastic, glass and wood finishes.<\/p>\n
