Simply Klik…
the future of wiring
heating systems made
easy!
Hager’s Klik distribution box is at the heart of
Chronotherm’s new heating package - an ideal
heating solution choice for electricians and plumbers.
Designed to make the wiring of an entire heating
system simple, with easy connection of all heating controls,
especially motorised valves, it’s as simple as Klik!
The concept has been designed by Hager, Chronotherm and
Vintero, with Hager’s innovative 7 pin Klik at its core. Klik
provides the mechanical and electrical connection in just one
plug-in action. The installation and on-going maintenance
advantages to using the Klik Heating System make it the
safest choice on the market.
Until now, the main problem when installing heating systems
was the amount of wiring involved. Wiring was often
confusing and at times problematic when meeting
maintenance requirements. Historically, throughout Ireland,
heating systems were installed using a multi-block connector
wiring centre. The resulting jumble of cables (shown below)
meant that any maintenance of the heating system would
be very time consuming and labour intensive. Klik is a game
changer in the installation process, eliminating most of the

simplicity, is that the system allows individual isolation to

With this new product, motorised valve actuators can be
plugged-in in seconds, without circuit isolation and provide
full interlock, as required under Part L of the Irish building
regulations. This secure design also prevents disconnection
of the plug from its socket by vibration or snatch
withdrawals. The klik product exceeds relevant standard
requirements and also allows for compliance with IEE wiring
regulations and safety regulations.
Safety is a hallmark feature of Hager products and this was
a major driver for the introduction of this offer to the market
through partner Chronotherm. Mechanical and electrical
connections made in one ‘click-in’ action make for an
