This Hager Design 10 Consumer Unit Guide has been updated because Hager Design 10 should now be treated as a legacy domestic consumer unit range name. Hager Design Evo is the newer domestic consumer unit platform, covering current single row, flush and double row board options.
This guide remains useful for understanding older Hager Design 10 boards, previous VML and VMLF product references, and replacement considerations. Before ordering any Hager consumer unit or protective device, check the current product listing, board format, number of ways, SPD requirement, RCBO compatibility and manufacturer instructions.
