Installation: what UK buyers need to know
Needs an existing TRV body on each radiator. Adapters included: M30, M28 and Danfoss RA; others available free from Hive. Not compatible with electric heating or older on/off valves. Works with or without a Hive thermostat; with Hive Active Heating the valves can call for heat. If you are not confident with the wiring, use a qualified installer. Any work on the gas side of a boiler must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
