That was helpful ! The plastic bit doesn’t come out anywhere as easy as in the video . I now see that ‘box of bits ‘ is for a wooden door hanging so no good to me as I have glass !! ( yet to arrive!! )
-
No ! F off ! - it’s clean !! Ish .....

Ok ! Absence of initial instructions didn’t help . But frame ( cassette ) as they call it built . This white plastic naturally I assume comes out so door can hang / slide . Doesn’t feel like it wants to come out though .... Also got a box of bits . No markings on box or instructions. Possibly a lock ??? Finally an ‘anti slam ‘ thingy . As I’ve not removed the plastic in first photo - assume it’s obvious how to fix .....

Edge blocks for shower tray in . Tomorrow. Will build up the height in timber . Question regarding the water proof tile backer board - I assume this goes down behind the shower tray edges ; I.e it doesn’t sit on the tray ....? thanks to @Onoff for his ‘how to use ‘ ... ?

Ok ! Back on this as I need to build a stud wall to house the pocket door . So pic 1 the gap for shower tray in ensuite pic 2 going to cement blocks - get them nice and level . pic 3 . Will build up height with timber . Marine ply once at correct height .

I think I’ll consider it a necessity... thanks ! ?

Hope you recover soon ! ✊

So it is a necessity ?

Ok . But if you have no gas boiler ... ( in the rental the Combi boiler is not connected to the Uvc ) . So with just a ashp , uvc - erm - it does what ? I did ask for intelligent people @Onoff ?
-
Ok - I’ve googled and am confused ! So we will have ASHP and uvc - what does the buffer tank ( it’s only like 20l ) do ? Do I need one ? In a rental I have they just have a 300l Uvc for 4 showers and all DHW - seems to work fine . Someone more intelligent please enlighten me ! ?

It is tidy !

Transit bolts of the devil !
Pocster replied to Pocster's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
Strange isn’t it . Washer will be lucky to last 3 years in its environment; the transit fitting could hold the titanic together ( ignoring the hole with water flooding in ) -
New washer at rental ( the old washers door ‘magically’ ripped itself off !! Ffs ) 4 transit bolts to remove . Dear God ! Designed not to be removed . Only got 1 out as it should be I.e pulled through the hole . The rest were sworn at and brute force applied !

This is going in my data cupboard so accessibility to each connection and reliability are my concerns .... Worried that potential moving of say a 24 port punch down patch panel will eventually cause frail wires to fail .
-
But what happens when you wish to add/alter/fix one ? . You unscrew the whole thing and tip it forward hopefully not putting strain on the ‘fragile’ connections ...
-
Sure . But I’ve got a mix . Toolless keystone seems the answer for solid core . Crimp for stranded . Was looking at this https://www.cablemonkey.co.uk/brackets-frames/10511-200mm-deep-wall-mounted-19-frame.html then my patch panel will have ‘space’ behind it so I can access each keystone or coupler . Waiting for someone to say ‘good plan’ or ‘what are you doing !!?’ ?
-
Googling more ! It suggests there is no such keystone for stranded . So should I crimp these and presumably there’s some type of coupler that fits a patch panel ?
-
Kind of asked something similar before but understand a bit more now . I have around 40 stranded cat cables and 20 solid core to wire . The 40 I was going to crimp. The solid core Idc . Can I / should I use toolless keystone for stranded and solid to 1 patch panel ? - also Is there a wall mounted patch panel that tilts open rather than rack mount and accepts keystones ? Trying to find the simplest solution . I see the toolless keystones are relatively expensive ... same keystone for solid and stranded ???

Did the trick ! An entire roll mind !!

Well it almost fitted! Screws into dewalt laser no issue. But on tripod stand it's too loose (must be just 1 or 2 mm out ). So erm; what should I order now - half way there! ?
-
Can we have a “groan” emoji also a “ F off” one ? . Yeah admin ? . I’d use both of those frequently

Excellent! The house on the same drain ( which I use to own ) has a stench pipe . Their drain joins into my new build which in turn joins straight into the main drain . Just an AAV then ?
