Maybe . It is a push fit coupler so in theory needs no gluing . I needed the lube to get that bugger on !
-
Think @PeterW said the same . I’ll add it no worries
-
Yeah . It was tricky ! I need lube to get it on but also need it dry for the tiger seal . Hence why I’m not convinced in this situation it will work . Soon find out . Otherwise a weld as it requires no lube , no sliding , definitely easier . No biggie to cut it out if no good - worth a shot .
-
Yeah I already planned to add a joint later
-
Not pretty but done. Not confident - getting the slip coupler fully across is impossible no matter how chamfered and lube. I will leave it a few days to dry . Then I’ll run water down that pan . If that’s ok I’ll block the drain and fill the entire pipe . If it fails I’ll cut the coupler out and weld it - easier to position , no sliding !! It was a good workout though !!

What is it with me and glazing ?!?!?

I feel another ccj coming on !

Eclisse have already replied . Obviously want to push this to the seller . I didn’t buy direct from Eclisse as I got a slightly better price elsewhere . So email number 2 on route . Too be fair the seller just sold me the door asked for - I’d been talking to Eclisse in the past and choose from their website .
-
Irate , rude , obnoxious , blunt , pissy email sent to Eclisse . I’m in a bad mood now .

That’s really appreciated. There are hurdles still to be overcome ( ignoring the lock ) . You are meant to install on the finished floor . But as it’s going in a wall that’s kind of tricky . Tiling the floor is going to be one of the last jobs . So when I get to that I’ve only guessed the door will clear the tiled floor . That’ll be funny if it doesn’t !
-
£50 quid says once SWMBO realises this I’ll have to put a lock on the bedroom door anyway . What a joke !
-
This is funny ! privacy glass yes . But if you look through the coloured bits you can see straight in ?????? f ing Eclisse !

Hey my signature has disappeared!!

I know ! F ing mare ! . I’m going to leave it “for now” . Think I’ll go and glue some pipes incorrectly .

Maybe ? https://www.toolsandpartsdirect.co.uk/dewalt-dt20707-multi-tool-blade-titanium-metal-blade-31mm-x-43mm-fits-dcs355-dwe315?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8v7-2pjH6AIViLTtCh2pJQe4EAQYAiABEgIsg_D_BwE I had to buy a set of small spanner’s as there’s no way of getting an adjustable spanner in above door and frame to tighten it
-
It’s so ill conceived. Months ago I briefly looked at the instructions ( all 4 versions ) and thought f this ! But alas as I have to build a stud wall over the door frame in the ensuite I have to do it some day . SWMBO of course thinks it looks fab ! . It is smart - but installation designed by an idiot . I can drill the steel - but that will look shite . Why they couldn’t supply a decent catch ( strike ? ) plate I don’t know . Then at least it could over up the hole that’s a mess . Not sure what to do on this . Better eBay see if there is a multi tool steel cutter blade . I hate things like this because you only have one chance . ? . I need like 5 attempts before I get it right .
-
Not sure of ‘nice way’ to cut into the steel . Multi tool blade won’t do it .
-
The next pita - the lock . Can see how it works . Turn and ‘arm’ comes out and hitched into tuning fork shape . So I’ve got to cut a recess into the steel frame ?!? . I really don’t get the ‘design’ of this entire system . It’s not thought out - everything’s a pita !
-
I fulfill all the points in that list . But that doesn’t mean I qualify . Perhaps I will and get sent the questionnaire I believe some will get sent - that might ( or might not ) be people’s downfall .
-
I don’t either . I am declared as a self employed sole trader . If Hmrc are going to automate this process / payments surely they can only look at a few basic details to make a broad judgement on who gets paid and who doesn’t .

*#%^##^ ^#^*^#^ What a pig ! . Ok , I’m doing it on my own but ffs ! - with a 50kg door it’s a nightmare ! This is the single most thing I’ve sworn at on the entire build to date ! It’s on ‘loosely ‘ . Assuming I can adjust ( what minor adjustments there are ) it won’t be coming off again !! So the little ‘rollers’ that you fit on the finished floor before installing the door can f right off . I’ll cut them in half and glue them in . ffs !
-
Good . The policy should help everyone ! I’m still not expecting anything .
