Erm ! So no sds max to sds converter ? ?

Having one of those days . Me and mdpe have a bad relationship- some fittings no probs others I start swearing as they leak . Harder I try colder and wetter my hands get lessen the chance of success . Then you can’t undo a fixing ; so you undo at the other end . Then when you put back other end leaks - more swearing . Hands numbing from cold water in dungeon . I put the gun down ( do I shoot me or hunt down the mdpe inventor ) . “Speedfit fixings” think I might have a court case there for misleading title . I know the pipe has to be straight to go in the fitting snug but (expletive deleted) me ! I lie it on a flat bit of timber - yes it bends maybe 1mm - still leaks . More swearing . Then the suicidal voice says “ F this ; go for a jog “ I hate mdpe - I hate it . It’s not ‘flexible pipe’ , a fitting that hasn’t ever leaked decides it wants to today . Push fit to brass - give me strength ! STOP LEAKING ! I’ll stop otherwise it will be the call to the Samaritans .

Not sure this exists But I’ve got this nice 18mm 800mm drill bit - but the sds fitting is to large for any of my drills ( apart from my Hilti but that’s just a breaker ) . Is there some converter that I can use so it fits a conventional hammer drill ??

I have no idea how I’m going to pay for mine either - that’s all part of the challenge. !

Very generous of you ???

123456 - there you go - now back to work ! ??

Christ sake man ! Get a move on ! Even I’ll be finished before you I.e either completed or dead ?

But then what ? I miss the bathroom biblical epic ?

Does your sparky fancy a trip to Brizzle ???

It is just cat cable at the moment. Trying to find a reliable cost reasonable electrician is virtually impossible. I’m hoping to do the mains wire aswell but advised and monitored by a qualified electrician who will sign it off .

Cheers @JSHarris ; you’ve been super helpful !

Ok - that sounds reasonable. But do I have to trunk right to the end spot ? . Say I have a humidity sensor I wish to place in a ceiling - do I have to trunk directly where I think I want it ? . If when I test the sensor I need to move it ; I re adjust that trunking ? . I guess I’m asking is there any Lea way for the cable going from trunking to device ?

Ok ! . Still sounds like not much fun for the fireman . So pvc trunking with the metal clips . I presume there’s a rule on minimum clip spacing ?

That sounds far easier for me as I need to add as I go and undoubtedly will forget a cable for something. Still don’t get how it can be ok in a fire situation- surely pvc would just melt - then it’s dripping molten plastic and cables falling ???? ?

Another dumb question . As this is all for safety regs how can a pvc conduit be ok ? Metal clips attach it to the timber but during a fire would it not just collapse regardless of the cables in it ? I.e melt

I see . So ( to comply with regs ) I need to come off my timber to get the cat cable to where I want it does it still need to be in conduit at that point ? ( e.g ceiling centre 300mm away from the timber structure) Hope my question is clear

Are you allowed ‘breaks’ in the conduit ? Suppose you’ve got to pull a cable through a long run with many corners . Can you pull it to a break in the conduit ? Then pull it the rest of the way ???

True .

As it’s a pressured unit assume I need a qualified to the correct level plumber for this ? I.e not just any plumber

Yeah seems good . Some of the metal cable trays are a bit cheaper though .

Yeah I know - but aren’t they proportional or some how related ? . A plumber I quickly spoke to said it might be the cistern . Once full as it stops filling that can cause the hammer ...

Nor me!. Reviews of PRV don't seem particularly favourable i.e. set it for 1bar and the pressure creeps up. By reducing the flow though won't I reduce the pressure?. My physics on this not too hot! - I *assume* the 2 are related like volts to amps....... ?

Ah!; so what is the solution?

Was going to keep mains separate anyway. So for my cat6 this method is acceptable?
