Anyone else use Haeger CU's...?

[sythai]

Just curious if anyone else uses Haeger CU's for domestic..?

Been having probs getting my usual MK, so have gone for a couple of Haegers this week, ended up being £10/£15 more than mk inc with vat and mcbs. Easily paid for itself with the time I saved.

Only really used Haeger on bigger commercial industrial stuff when subbing years ago, was always good back then

Well worth it sticking with them in future - loads of room, everything in the right place, solid as - no earth bar springing out or MCBs cracking if you tighten them up a little too much. Even the knock outs and labelling simples, not the slighest bit fiddley

Just thought I'd share that with you :39:

Used Hager boards for years, very rarely had a problem. I think the spirit level is a bit useless tho.

I'm in the Hager camp. If you ask me they've got the right business model - spares that fit all boards, robust and useful design features, they actually fit together, a few $$ more but not overpriced - these are the things that keep me coming back for more.

Wylex are poor - the new design of MCBs are slightly different to the old ones, making them a pita to mix. Flimsy too.
MK are ok - not as robust as they could be though.

I always use Contactum and never had any problems. Had to replace faulty Haeger RCD last week but normally they are ok.

I always use Hager when I can too.
The only times I don't is when the customer is a right tight arse, when space is at a real premium as they're not the most compact or when it's just a 4-5 circuit job on RCBO's.
In those cases I just use what's best for the job.

spot on mate thats exactly a problem i have found first and last i use
allmaterials were supplied and i have to 16A nsb type and the rest the newer ones and the old ones dont fit good so makes it difficult to fit the cover thinking off rerplacing as i think it looks rough and the board is very flimsy breakers are always on the move lol if you take the cover off i prefer them to be fixed never had a problem in the past with hager so looks as if i will be using theres in the future

Over the past 30something years,I've fitted 3 Hagar boards & liked them.

So why the Hell I've been messing about with Wylex, Volex & Crabtree all this time God only knows!!

Sometimes I think maybe I'm not wired up right !!! :6:

For me, if I can get a hager, I'll always go do one, regardless of the extra cost, I would rather pay the extra £5 out of my profit margin and save myself a whole heap of buggering about!!

Couple of wholesalers round my way don't do them, so it's crabtree as a runner up for me, just not as much room!!

And while I'm on the subject, I fitted a nice 4 way 3ph board the other week, the one with the glass door, what a joy that was to work with!! Really well made and piles of room!!

 

[cagedanimal2010]

always used hager always will, easy to fit looks good and never seem to go wrong. (i'v said it now)
however has anyone used there switches and sockets?

I've just fitted a Hager 12 way VC112 unit in my house (one with the glazed door), based on what I had been recommended to use. That was the first board I've fitted.
So now, if I use anything else, I think I might be quite disappointed!

I must have been spoiled and won't lower my standards now, if I can help it.

 

[i=p/u]

well ive never changed one , but might take mine off wall and swap it, yous are making me eger and sweaty
