Warm Air Hand Dryers - Anyone Used?
Onoff replied to Ferdinand's topic in Kitchen & Household Appliances
Mon Dieu, you don't want an ugly one! I've got one of these: -
Who's got the most expensive wc is it? It's not a pi$$ing contest!
-
...but in the spirit of Bathroom Top Trumps probably this: https://www.ukbathrooms.com/products/geberit-sigma-80-touchless-dual-flush-plate-12cm-up320-.html ?

Depends on how thick your tiles, wall panel and adhesive are. The MIs just give a range it'll cope with.

When and ONLY when your tiling is done! Push the flush pipe into the wall and make a mark level with the tiles: Put the flush pipe into the pan connector then into the pan with a bit of silicone spray: Mark flush with the back of the pan: The measurement between the two marks is how much you cut off the flush pipe, about 85mm in my case: Cut it off the non ribbed end and emery off the hairy bits: Ditto the poo pipe. I found a plastic bag used like this helped when swapping between the poo pipe and yellow bung as I was into a "live" drain. The yellow bung sat in a bucket of Dettol: Marking the poo pipe level with the back of the pan: Ott to cut the poo pipe down once I knew how much to trim off:
-
Stick the temporary faceplate over the flush mechanism and the two yellow bungs in the flush and poo pipe holes asap to prevent debris getting in. Do not cut your poo and flush pipes until the tiling is done.

Whassa 90 degree tee, an elbow? Yep, if it's all in firm your there.....unless you go ott and stuff the cavity with sound deadening stuff.....like one bloke on here did.....

Idiots guide to mvhr.

Isn't that more to do with how well the house is physically sealed. No gaps round windows, doors etc. for them to get in and doors and windows rarely left open? -
Use it I reckon. I used it to stick tiles to mrpb.
-
Dunno...I will say that Sikaflex I think skins up quicker than CT1... Sikaflex I think goes off more solid that CT1 though it still has a resilience about it.

I used these wing screws. Did have to countersink the ply from memory. They went in a treat. https://www.screwfix.com/p/easydrive-carbon-steel-self-drilling-roofing-screws-4-8-x-38mm-200-pack/2688h

I Sikaflex'd 9mm ply onto my frame. I had to add a 9mm layer to ensure the subsequent Aqua Panels cleared the soil pipe at the base of the wall. Pretty sure that adds to keeping the frame in place. I used self drill screws through the ply into the Geberit frame. I was really careful to draw the frame on the ply so I didn't drill into any pipe or God forbid the cistern! Aqua Panel again Sikaflex'd to the ply: Again I marked a red zone where I daren't have drilled! The self drill screws were no good for screwing the Aqua panel through the ply and into the metal frame. I just used the proper Knauf screws where there was timber behind.

Don't joke! There is that 59 year old sadly just died in Bristol...

My old Rage 3 isn't too clever at remaining square if you keep moving it about. Once set it's alright. 45 either way isn't 45 and needs setting too. I wouldn't be without it though. Galvanised conduit, scaffold tubes, bricks with the diamond blade. It's a great all rounder but not a precision tool. Useless for cutting through housings. The two nephew's later Rage 3s are much better.
-
Nothing serious I hope! Get well soon.

I thought it dropped into a recess for some reason?
-
Some cheap ratchet straps maybe, 3 or 4 to lift with? Put on loosely. Cut off and leave in there on final positioning? Careful of the ratchet mechanisms chipping the tray. https://www.screwfix.com/p/ratchet-tie-down-straps-5m-x-25mm-2-pack/24567#product_additional_details_container

Undo tighten the legs with a 13mm socket or spanner. I put coach screws in the side of the frame: As for not using the top, main fixings... You could glue & screw some timber blocks to the uprights and use studding. Might need to counter bore the blocks with a flat wood bit to take the nuts. Double nut it too so it doesn't come undone. As for the pan security...once tiled put it on the wall with clear CT1 backing up the fixings and leave for 36hrs.
-
Moi? Can you sand those wispy bits off those blocks sometime...
-
Water cooling not an option then given the local supply? ?
-
I just wondered if he was going to use it for say washing down garden tools, rinsing buckets, boots etc. As in where any excess water will go.

Is that outside tap over a drain?

88cm here. You win!
