RB Plinths are optional for the installation of RB Cabinets.  To make them stand out as optional, we have separated them from the RB cabinets themselves, so please be sure to add them to your cart if you need a plinth to install your RB Cabinet. The use of a plinth is not compulsory, but if you don’t intend to use one please make sure that the concrete base (or equivalent) is perfectly flat and as smooth as possible. Ideally, it would be a minimum of 100mm (4”) bigger than the cabinet all round, and 150mm (6”) deep.  A plinth...

The formation of zinc whiskers on the surface of zinc coated steel can be a costly oversight.

The "fuzz" that coats galvanised steel is what is referred to as zinc whiskers.  These small zinc particles accumulate and can get pulled into the electrical equipment causing short circuits and faults. Avoid zinc whiskers altogether by choosing a...
