I'm impressed u figured out the mains cover most installers don't seem to know that or they cba 

 

there pointless & I've been chucking them for 20yrs....

I fail to see the point of fitting a pointless piece of plastic you have to remove on each service anyway.

Wouldn't bother with the screw caps either, I have seen them rounded off and jammed in before now, although this would be on the Veritas case not the Prem.

 

Plastic caps and similar covers are just asking for screwdriver rash from numpty engineers and offer minimal aesthetics for there existence IMO.

We took over a company c2001 who had hundreds of Veritas out there, I had a patch with c800 contracts and used to service 2-3 daily. I never had an issue with the screw covers or mains clips, bit of a knack to removing them without trashing them I agree but I prefered the look with them

Yeah if I have to remove them, I always put them back.

If panel is on show I always fit screw covers. They usually push in easily the right way round and if not a quarter turn to raise/lower them.   Mains cover is in the bag so it may as well be fitted, takes 5 seconds and helps keep things safe. More of a pain to remove though.

 

Does anyone use the battery clips?  Most systems I take over have tiny 2ah or less batteries, and a bigger battery either falls out when you open the panel or its got a cable tie wrapped round it.

The mains cover was a pain to put on (it was a tight squeeze), but it's now there.

 

I've installed the battery clips, but not convinced they're that effective, as the battery can still move around.
