Remove Hive Smart TRV m30 adapter 

You taught me in 1 minute, what HIVE helpline could not in 3, 20 to 30 minute phone calls. Even the hive community could not help. Your presentation is smart, well informed and easy to follow. Hive should be paying you to answer their phones. Thank you so much.

Not all heroes wear capes. thanks!

Outstanding video. Just what I needed and in no more time than it took to explain. 10/10.

Thank you so much. I too didn't the get the suggestion to use a special tool. In fact my problem wasn't getting it off the valve but removing the unit from the M30 once it was off. But your advice that the tab may have to be pressed really hard solved it for me. All I had to do was use some mole grips to press the tab as I have arthritic fingers, and was very easily able to undo the ring with my free hand. I immediately subscribed to see what else you may help me with. So again Karthik thanks so much.

Thank you!! How can they not have any instructional videos for this?

Thanks, appreciate this 👍🏼 was really struggling!!

Give really need to improve their guides. I just remove mine by squeezing that notch and unscrewing straight away. That does the trick!

This really has helped. Easy and simple. Nice finding.

when i try unscrewing the adaptor the black plastic also turn and water starts leaking. not sure how i can remove it without leaking..

Useful. I had exactly the same issue

Thank you, Kartik Really helpful and useful video Tried to remove it yesterday but failed and a little birdie told me - look up RU-vid and yours was the first video come up and Bingo I DID IT

Bless you, kind sir, may you always have a warm house and low energy bills.

my m30 adaptor is stuck inside the trv but its removed from my radiator so be carefull with this not sure how to get them out.

Thanks was struggling with that

This was so helpful to me just now. thanks

Perfect, thank you! Saved me from waiting as I was 28 in line in the Hive chat!

You are my hero!!! Thank you

Thanks, as you said there wasn’t much help online when all I wanted to do was change batteries but didn’t want to break the valve! Really simple tip but really useful.

Thank you very much 😊.

Thank you for your help

Nice one Karthik 😇

Thank you 🙏

Utter legend.

Can anyone help me, my RA adapter seems to be stuck to the radiator valve. It’s not fitted and is proving very difficult to get off.

Thx so much

Awesome 👏

Excellent

Amazing

Thanks!

Thank you!!! It helped!

Thank you for uploading this helpful video. I had difficulties removing mine but in the end I did. It was harder for me because my thumb had a tiny cut, which was infected, making it harder for me to grip the hive TRV. My question??? When I installed my hive TRV, after installation, following the guidelines on the hive app, my hive TRV felt lose and slightly wobbly, and not secure on the valve, even though I made sure it was hand tight. I noticed, after taking the hive TRV off the adapter, the adapter was screwed onto the valve tightly, but every time I screwed back on my hive TRV it felt wobbly and loose? In the end I took it off and put my manual TRV back on, and that valve was screwed on tight, and wasn’t wobbly/loose like my hive TRV was. I’m going to exchange it because I feel it might be faulty. When I removed my manual TRV before installing the hive TRV on my valve I made sure I opened up the manual TRV fully, on number 5, before unscrewing it off the valve. Revealing the pin which was visible and popped up. I used a coin as well to press on the pin gently to make sure it was moving up and down, but it was tight, and it did loosen slightly but not that much. I’m wondering, either, the hive TRV was faulty, or maybe because the pin was tight it could not lock fully the hive TRV in place, only the adapter??? any ideas? Thank you.

Thankyou...this has been a nightmare trying to get these off. Your video is excellent. 👏

Thanks so much for sharing this. Most useful video I came across. They slip right off now :)

Thanks for the video

Thanks, super helpful. Cannot figure why there are any down votes!!?!?

thanks very well done thanks

Thanks for this. V helpful. I've seen that other video you mention. Yours saved me from ruining my valve.

Bless you, kind sir, may you always have a warm house and low energy bills.

Thanks for sharing this. Actually, this is the only way to remove the adaptor from the bottom of the Valve otherwise its just spins around.

Omg, this is simple but brilliant. These hive valves have been a pain if you need to get them back on. Even British gas engineers have problems with them.

Thank you this was really helpful :)

Thanks, this is way better than pliers.

Cheers mate. Exactly what I needed.

Just found your clip, thank you.

Well done , thanks very much

Perfect, thanks.
