Non flammable

Normally I use (can't think of the name) they use it for closure plates on the bottom of flues for solid fuel fires (white stuff like old ab)

Cheers Shaun , I have just thought of a piece of 6mm backerboard , was at a job last week and the smart meter boys had screwed a piece of thick transparent plastic around the fuses , quite thick stuff , but no idea where you get it .

Update on this one , the ECV on this was a git to get at and I dont think it had been turned off for 15 years or so on the last boiler swap , anyway today there was the faintest smell of gas , sniffer showed up a small leak on ECV , rings it in and I kid you not it 5 guys around 3 hours to change it , it was a git though .
Meters now far enough away , happy days.

Yep they changed the pipe in the wall as well , house was 40 year ish old, has had several boilers and the original ECV couldnt be turned off totaly ( I sawed 15 mm off the end before all this happened ) unbelievable
