Oh Hager, you little beauty...

[happysteve]

First time using Hager ADA reduced height RCBOs (as opposed to their tall ADN range).

See how beautifully they match up with their MTN circuit breakers (circuit far right next to main switch, for SWA feed to shed).

Compare to BG, my "go to" budget (and garage DB) brand... can't even get their MCBs to match...

I do wish Hager would make boards with round knock-outs, though.

I thought Starrett, where the go to hole cutters.

They're what most of the wholesalers sell, and TBH when you want a holesaw you go into the wholesalers and ask for a specific size and not a specific make.
Bosch holesaws are pretty good.

Since when has ‘looking pro’ been an important design consideration in the protectection of an installation?

I'm not convinced that that's even a word.
Either way the choice of brand for accessories, fixtures and fittings is often dictated by the installer based on ease of installation and not safety.

I’m completely the opposite, love the square/rectangular knockouts to match the trunking and dislike the round ones

 

[BrendonP]

I also like the trunking knockouts for domestic, but not so much on commercials/industrial.

These are my favourite hole saws.

I've taken to using the Wylex metal blanks in my boards. They take up much less room in the van than bags of Hager blanks.

Oh dear, type testing out the window.

Interesting, I've just ordered Hager Design 50 consumer units for home here and the reduced height RCBOs, surge protection, doorbell transformer and a few other bits. Not seen the Design 50 in the flesh before. I'm still not really a fan of their 3 phase stuff, the enclosures are flimsy rubbish, prefer Eaton for 3 phase, now that Merlin stuff has turned to sh**.

Most bods get a 65'' tv, or even a washer dryer that has wifi connect ability. Whatever.

I still don't own a working TV.

Why don't you get it fixed?

Just used the Hager reduced height RCBOs and thought they were well designed and easy to use.
They did not fit the very old hager board I wanted them to fit though!

That's unusual, the range is usually backwards compatible right to old Ashley Rock branded stuff.
