Tricel
Tricel manufactures moulded enclosures used to house utility meters and telephone equipment on the outside of buildings. We stock the Tricel Exterior Telephone Box (300mm x 220mm x 175mm) and replacement Meter Cubicle Doors for keeping meter positions secure and weatherproof.
Ideal for new builds, rewires and repairs to damaged cabinets. Trade pricing is available on account, and in-stock orders placed by 5pm on weekdays arrive next working day across Northern Ireland and ROI.
How to choose meter and telephone boxes
External enclosures protect incoming services from weather and tampering while giving utility providers access. The right box keeps the installation neat and compliant.
Types available
- Telephone boxes - external housings for the incoming line and termination point, like the Tricel 300 x 220 x 175mm box.
- Meter boxes - recessed or surface enclosures for electricity or gas meters.
- Replacement doors - a quick fix when a meter cubicle door is cracked, missing or faded.
Points to check
Measure the opening and check internal dimensions before ordering. Confirm whether the box is to be recessed or surface mounted, and whether the network operator or utility has specific requirements for the location and type of cabinet. When replacing a door, compare the hinge and lock arrangement with the existing cubicle.
Installation tips
Seal cable entries to keep out water and pests, keep the box at an accessible height, and avoid blocking access with planting or fencing. Always follow the utility's guidance and the manufacturer instructions.
