Hey Lappa,
That link you sent answered my question. Roughly every 1.35m which is conveniently every third floor joist in my situation.
That's good enough for me.
Thanks

No, just storm water

Hi everyone,
I would like to know if I were to suspend a PVC pipe used for storm water, how far apart should the saddle clips be installed?
I was planning to use a bunch of these from Bunnings....

In my opinion, its better to mount the pump level with the bath itself so that you don't get water sitting in the pump when not in use. If it is at level...possibly a fraction higher, the water will...

Some animal has chewed through the wiring? Some creature has made contact with the back of a power point maybe? That's a tough one...and very annoying I bet.

What if you have metal battens Nev? And does this apply to 20 watt downlights also?

I'm pretty sure it is not necessary in a bathroom nor laundry in Victoria. I only ever see these drains when I travel interstate. I think they're a great idea...but they do get smelly if the water...

Hey Ivan,

DaveG is right. Better to go for a proper unit.
Why not look on ebay for a second hand one. I had a bit of a search and found a few there. Might be the best option.
Dan

Phillta, I reckon you could probably do it yourself. Set aside a Saturday. Like DavidG said, you should be able to slide out the old pipe and assume you buy the same size pipe, you should be able...

Not a sparky myself so I would be worried if this were my place you were wiring up. Shouldn't you already know this stuff?

Indoor units won't work as well outisde in the cold. They're not as well insulated and also the electircal is not covered over like an external unit. You'll probably get a hell of a lot more creepy...

Hey Bloss,
Do you know which switches need to be changed? I too have one of these Infinity 26 Plus systems. Although I have two controllers, I can only turn it up as high as 55° I'd like to put...

True, but the underground water tanks are so bloody expensive. $4500 for a 6000lt tank. They're great however. I saw a good one which looked like a giant grenade with a port hole on top which is...

Has anyone got any useful information about these rain water bladders I've been seeing a lot of lately? Are they worthwhile or a bunch of ? For those who haven't seen them, it is a rain water...

Hi Reno Chick,

May I ask why you want gas up there? In this situation, electric is probably your best solution. You could run electric cooktops and water heaters. I know, gas is cheaper and...

Where are you located Dylan Rabbit?

Dan.

Hi Tengals,

I had a similar problem to you when I did my renovation. I installed some Italian tapware (Gessi from Abey) in my place which cost a bomb and then was a complete bitch to install. ...

I wouldn't think it really mattered as long as there is no direct flame or extremely high temperatures.

Thanks for all the replies there. I seriuosly think it is more a supply votage issue.

Koala-Man: it happens on both lights on the light circuit and mains circuit. As fridge light blew out...

Just your standard bayonet type light globe. 40W, 60W, 75W, whatever. I'm not talking halogens or anything here. Just standard 240V light globes.

Hi there and more appropriately, hi to the sparkies.

My partner's folks place has a problem with blowing out light bulbs constantly. Does anyone know why this would happen? I lived there for a...

May I suggest calling an electrician? You're not supposed to touch the electrical anywhere (including your own home) if you're not qualified...especially if you want to see your first born. Safety...

When all else fails, there's always Consumer Affairs and believe me they help.
Dan.

You may need 3 phase power in your house to operate an 18kW unit. Gas heating is much cheaper to run. I have a similar house in Melbourne and we have gas floor ducted heating and ceiling ducted...

Use a pipe like this for hot water

http://www.made-in-china.com/image/2f0j00fMgaYkTFRLotM/Hot-Water-Pipe-TCX-O11600150-2-.jpg

Most dishwashers will be fine with hot water, just make sure the...

I think wonderplumb can confirm this but I think you're right, it should only be copper under the house.

Hi ZX9,
Welcome to the forum. I'd like to give you my opinion but note, I am not a plumber but I will give you my opinion gathered from plenty of information from this site and also a good friend...

Sounds like about 60% GST to me. For that kind of money you could have flown down a sparky from the east coast and sent him back home again!! hehehe When he comes back to do the other job, just...

You know what Jayson, tee off the hot water tap, not the cold. Its better. Dishwashers usually (in almost every case) heat the water up anyway. Why not give it hot water to start with. I'm sure...

As DavidG said, check the brushes.
i bet it's simple.
Dan.

I couldn't receommend the Brivis HE30E unit enough.
5.5 star energy rating. Works great. I've seen these in action and they're quiet, look good and great features such as soft start fan, etc. ...

Try connecting it inside a peice of conduit and using silcone to block each end, or you can get this liquid electrical sealant from Jaycar Electronics.

Hey I've drilled through fibro sheeting with a hole saw on slow speed. It works. Just don't let the holesaw get too hot...and it doesn't seem to damage the saw at all.

Sorry...off the track a...

To Tools - I'm pretty sure the the meter has a 1" fitting and then goes to 3/4" to the back of the property.

To Vernonv - The 3/4" pipe does has a slight crush under the house about half way...

Well, here's the deal, water from the front tap has loads of pressure, same type of tap at the back of the property, noticably less. The current 3/4" pipe length (with a couple of minor bends and...

So will that alter your "litres per second" rate?

Quick question to the plumbers out there.

If I run two 3/4" pipes from the main to a point at the back of my place, will I have more water pressure at a tap connected at the end of the two joined...

Excuse my ignorance here. While travelling back from a little beach town on the 90 Mile Beach (South East Vic) over the Easter break, I began noticing the power lines along the roads (the little...

I've done this with Insulco AcoustiTherm glass fibre insulation bats and also confirmed with Insulco whether I can do the exact same thing you're trying to do and they said it was fine, so long as...

In my opinion (hopefully the last one here), don't install directly above the shower. Install just out of the shower space as the whirlwind the fan creates is not great...it creates quite a chill. ...

Makes sense FG.
Thanks

Sounds about right. The Gerbret pipe length is definitely not correct. It is sitting shorizontal (about 550mm in length) with a 90 degree angle right in the middle of it. Do you know Reece told me...

Hi guys,
We have a Reece branded mains flush toilet system and there just doesn't seem to be enough water pressure being pushed out into the pan.
See...

Hi guys,
I'm new to this and I'd like to say I'm very happy to have found this forum. I look forward to learning new things, as I have in the past from this site. Thank you for all the input and I...
