FTTP drill hole

ReadyBreck — Fri, 04 Dec 2020 14:05:00 GMT

Hello!

My partner and I have today had FTTP installed. The single drill hole through the outside wall which has the cable running through has not been filled inside or out.

Should this have been filled? Is it okay to leave it this way?

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Shane

@Starwire should be able to advise in this when he drops in later.

I believe some installers put a little sealant round the hole if they have any.

Mine was left without at my request as I'd rather tidy the hole up myself.

They’re supposed to use an Internal Lead In kit to cover the hole inside.

You can use an External Lead In kit on the outside as well if you want but I don’t, I just fill it with silicone.
