Heating ? What’s that . ‘Ard we are !! Shorts all the way ; everyday !

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 ???

Another more sensible quote 1 x vitreous enamel adjustable stove pipe, 1 x 1200mm vitreous enamel pipe, 1 x appliance adaptor, 4 x metres twinwall solid pipe, 1 x 0.5 metre twinwall solid pipe, 1 x rain cap with bird guard, 1 x ceiling cover plate, 1 x new lead flashing kit, 1 x storm collar, 1 x universal bracing kit, 2 x wall brackets plus 100mm offsets, 1 x carbon monoxide alarm, 1 x data plate, 1 x hetas certificate....£1480.00 No vat to add.

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 ?

I assumed I need an AAV and stench pipe ? I.e both - this not correct ??

Ah ! I’m doing it ass about tit then ! . SWMBO just wants a stove fire . 6” makes my life easier as it fits between the concrete beams ( I assume as they are non combustable I don’t need any clearance ) . So what stove output suits that ? . That link you gave looks good as they have a design service .... Going to cost materials and installed rather a lot less than the insane 2.7k...

How do I know what size ( output ) fire I need and I assume is linked to flue size . Guy said 7” flue so go with that !????

So if I do a roof vent what are the rules on this ? . Simply place it high as possible up the roof ????

Erm , no idea of stove size ....

Also he told me a 7” flue was min ( which is slightly problematic as I need to go through beam and block ) . But quickly looking online I see 5” ...... Advice required ! .

If anyone can direct me to a ‘kit’ I need to buy that would be really helpful . I knew 2.7k was taking the mick . But I do want to buy a quality good kit from online ...

Other quotes on the way . The build is in an ‘affluent’ area - so tend to attract the take the p*iss price . I reckon 1k tops to supply and install ( being generous there aswell ) ....

Sounds on the high side to me... To supply and fit twin wall system: 3.5 metres of twin wall pipe & 1 metre of extension pipe, appliance adapter, support brackets. flashing, storm collar, cowl, internal cover plate, carbon monoxide detector, ID plate & HETAS registration. 1.00 2,750.00 550.00 Standard 20.00%

Yeah I think that would do the trick . Almost cost the same as the tripod ! Much appreciated though ?

I bought a cheap tripod off eBay with a ‘standard’ fitting . Needless to say it doesn’t fit my dewalt laser . spec of tripod is 5/8 inch connector I think dewalt laser thread is 0.25” Can anyone point me in the direction of a thread connector type thing to connect these two ?

Cheapest I’ve seen !
