Complying with
Building regulations
Even where you are not working with
Openreach or another infrastructure
company to provide a functioning
broadband and phone infrastructure
to the home the Part R regulations
require the provision of duct in the
default position discussed below so
that infrastructure can be installed
in the future.
ONT in the
default position
When the ONT is to be fitted in the
default position on an internal wall
directly opposite the entry position
of the service access hole adjacent to
the external duct location, external
capping will be fitted on completion.
To keep things tidy, make sure that
the service access hole is drilled in line
with the duct and in keeping with the
dimensions shown below.
The service will be sealed with a
grommet or mastic before fitting
the CSP.
All internal wires and
sockets beyond the Optical
Network Terminal (ONT)
are the responsibility of the
developer/future home owner.
Any faults or defects resulting
in an Openreach visit may
incur a charge.
