Thank you for that. It, at least, is unequivocal in its import, I would say.

Thanks for that. My strange head. Misses the obvious sometimes. Thanks for your good wishes. They are much appreciated. :)

Sorry to sound so dumb but what's 'just clip the pipe' ? When we get clear of the building we can go sweeping curves. When it gets to the destination shed I was reckoning on two elbows right there...

yep. okay. thanks.

I was just about to ask you if you could give me a list or diagram, you know, of the fittings required to make a connection from inside hob to gas bottle outside?

Thank you for that. Another new one on me. Never heard of it before. I googled and learned a bit. I see Bunnings have it. But their price for 20m was more than for 50m of Vinidex. And it seems to...

I was planning to use 20mm Vinidex 'blue stripe' poly pipe to run a water line but there was a hitch because the store didn't have any. But they have plenty 25mm pipe.

And we got to talking and...

Yep. I was thinking of passing 'the hose' through a pipe as a way of protecting the hose. Assuming that's their concern about 'hoses through a wall'.

Thanks for the information sheet. Just when...

Ho, ho, ho. Thanks for that. Pass the hose through the wall is exactly what I was going to do.

So now I need two more fittings and a length of copper pipe it seems.

They don't provide for...

No, that's all covered. Great big red notice underneath the thing saying it is for LPG only.

I am intending to use it the same way it seems to be used to fuel the house kitchen. I'm expecting to have the bottle on the outside of the shed and the cooktop on the inside.
And this is an oven...

Okay. I'll take the elbow off and arm myself with a photo of the whole thing then go to the local camping shop. Good idea that I think.

The hose is actually specified in the manual but not so's...

Yep. That elbow was LHT when it screwed into the gas hob pipe. Bur the free end I'm looking to hook onto seems to be RHT.

Oh. I got it wrong way round again. Okay, thanks.

I'm thinking I maybe need a converter 1/2" to 3/4". :)

They don't seem to sell that though. And I imagine they sell what's normal...

Ah... thanks for that. So generally all threads are on the outside of a pipe and the inside of a fitting?

I didn't know that. That's a good clue, if true.

So the ID is the nominal pipe dia...

I seem to have two 1/2" pipes I need to join. Now one has thread on the inside and the other has a thread on the outside.

But internal diameter they'd both be 1/2" pipe I reckon.

I think this...

Thanks for this. Provided the inspiration I needed. There's no way it was hacksawed. No signs and you couldn't get a hacksaw in there anyway. The thing was totally new though. Never installed.
...

yep, well that's what I was thinking/hoping but I can't find them. where are they? compression fittings I think they call them, right?
garden hose is no good because it blows out under pressure...

I'm planning to run a bit of 20mm pvc to a shed sink and it looks like the fittings to use are these things that I think you glue together.

That's all Bunnings seems to show. I've never done any...

trying but not having any luck. and can't really expect it. we bought oven and all online. went to pick up and he'd had an accident - dropped the oven off the trolley, smashed it to bits, not...

That's very good. Thank you for that.

As it happens I have that document. The trouble is it fails to specify so's I can understand just what fitting I need.

It says on page 13 "Installation"...

Got this Technika gas hob from a friend and it came without the fittings.

I thought it needed an elbow as the first thing to screw in and I asked Technika.

They just gave me a link to a parts...

thanks for the tip. I suspected that might be the case. :)

Well I will look up these or similar on ebay and take a punt on one. LED Batten being the operative words.

:)

Those are good points you make.

But you're happy with the ones you have I believe.

So are the ones I linked to good enough? You suggested I'd maybe find some I could wire in myself. These...

They look pretty good to me. And the price is right isn't it?

You got the motion sensor? Worth having? Or something else to go wrong? It switches on automatic when you come in?

Switches off...

currently got nothing in the shed. one plug in 'worklight' thing. In the home a couple of fluoros and all the rest old time stuff with a great mix of bulbs because of all the changes lighting has...

Don't need to light the whole thing. Just one work bench end mainly.

Not a huge shed. Pretty low. Tin shed. Maybe 10 x 6.

I'm thinking I need something plug in for preference. Avoid sparkies...

mine stopped asking me a long time ago.... before she hit the track for greener pastures... :)

Well I'll pull my head out of the sand. I didn't know. I'm so disgusted by it that I don't look at MSM at all. So I miss some things I guess. I suppose I should at least consult one news feed on...

on me toes alright... heading for the beer fridge...

now you've done it again... 'floss breaking roads..' ?

Thanks for that.

Didn't know about them. I've emailed them regarding delivery costs.

'compression fitting aer...' ? Bit confused by that.

:)

Running drinking water out to the shed.

Planning to use this stuff: Vinidex 20mm x 50m PE100 Poly Pipe

from Bunnings.

That okay? No problems with it? I have a little difficulty tracking...

that's what's happened. it has been replaced. lesson learned there.

that's what we've finished up doing. got a cylinder It didn't help. then shopped for the rubber washers around the barrel - seems to be the only other thing it could be. unavailable. so bought...

All my fault as usual. The allen key hole is there. It was all gunked up I don't know how/why.

I shoiuld delete the thread I think. Don't know if we can do that?

I've got an Ausital swivel mixer and I took out the blue/red thing and thought I"d find somewhere to put an allen key and undo.

But there seems to be no such place.

Anyone know how to deal with...

I only have the cold line hooked up. Water seems to be pouring out of the joints. The nozzle seems to swivel around 360 degrees without hindrance, as much as you like, doesn't screw up tight or...

I got back. found the bag on the floor in the corner. yep. two black washers in it.
okay. no explanation of the channel in the big black one though.

Anyway: I now have these questions...

looks like they lost the bag. probably threw it out. so I got to get some more seals.

the black seal isn't symmetrical. look inside. it has an offset trench there which I suppose fits over...

I'll reply to all outstanding posts in this one post, hopefully.

Thanks for the replies. What I get is that there should be two more seals in the bag somewhere. I'm up the track for a bit. I'll...

I've got a caroma pvc double bowl connector for under the double sink I'm putting in the shed.

The instructions say put one seal here and another one there. 'Stretch them over'. But they only...

Hey thats good to know I was thinking it had more to do about pressure and ability to bear being out in the sun.

Seems like really I could anything at all except garden hose?

And perhaps the...

That's a good one. Thanks for that.

I just got a quote. For 25mm polypipe with elbows at 25mm too, of course. And they're $13 each.

we need 21m of pipe and

I'm thinking maybe I would be...

Thanks for that. An interesting story. Make it all come to life.

I have another little question maybe not worth asking:

any hints or wrinkles, dangers, advice, about putting the hole in the...

what are they called? any place I can view a selection of them maybe?

I found this place but their pics don't clue me in on what they do, how they do it, which I'd need (if any of them)

Inspiring story. Thanks for that. Enjoyed every bit of it.

Listen I'm in comms with a guy at an irrigation store and he knows exactly what i want, he says, but he won't tell me or show me a...

I take your point. But I played with different quality hoses a bit and had no luck so I think you're final observation is about right: don't use garden hose for indoor water supplies.

I had an...

I need to run about 30m of line to get water to a sink in the shed.

Got an outdoors tap I can run it from.

Got a twin tub sink tap I can run it it. With flexible braided line underneath.
