not really an electrical question

[elliot123]

Going to put my tv up on a bracket but unsure what fixings to use its a brick wall but don't really know what to use

 

[benji]

should come with fixings

 

[Elmer BeFuddled]

Rawlbolts (other makes are available!)

 

[telectrix]

if the bracket doesn't come with fixings, use metal rawlbolts if it's a big , heavy TV. plastic fixings for satellite dishes are quite good for this purpose as well. don't forget to read david cockbur's posts and bond the bracket. :33:uke:

What. To the metal framed coffee table?

 

[telectrix]

and to the brass handles on the plastic windows.

 

[Phillcbr400]

Rawlbolts normally do the trick but if your brickwork isn't up to much or the tv is huge then rods and chem compound.

 

[elliot123]

Thanks probably just use rawlbolts, I expected it to come with fixings but apparently they don't supply fixings just the bracket

and to the brass handles on the plastic windows.

And the metal hinges which hang your non conducting wooden door to it's non condunducting wooden frame.

If it's plastered then the trick is to work out where the bricks are so that you don't drill the mortar between the bricks.

Do you think I would need to bond my metal buckle on my leather belt that is in contact with my denim jeans and therefore in contact with my skin, which at some point might be touching electrical cables. Might just take a 10mm from my watch just to be sure. :lol:

I have been out and purchased plastic cutlery as the missis can not stand the bonding cables I have had to attach to them.

 

[KevinS]

Screws n plugs will do the job - no problem at all. Try and get at least 8 x 2 1/2 screws in. More if possible.

Absolutely mate, in fact if you haven't already done this you should be ashamed to call yourself a sparky

I've bonded all the tins of beans, spaghetti, soup etc and the can opener. Mrs Trev ain't too happy but realises it's for the best.

 

[Sintra]

Hope you used proper BS 951 clamps and not jubilee clips or the likes. :lol:

You're going to look a right 'rounded piece of metallic door furniture' wandering around with a green & yellow cable connected to you...and the aforementioned piece of door furniture.
I find it makes going to the pub rather difficult.

I bonded my self to the pumps in my local which makes going home difficult, my other half doesn't like it but understands the life or death situation I would be in if I were to release myself from them.

 

[FAA Greenie]

I've not dared touch the loose change on my bedside cabinet, just in case. I get the sweats just thinking about how utterly stupid i was not to bond it when i got back from the pub on Saturday night.

 

[Silly Sausage]

It's a good job that beer comes in glass bottles.
Come to think about, this is probably why I don't like canned beer.

How do you remove the metal cap off the top?

OH MY GIDDY AUNT! I'd not thought of that! Thank you FAA, you may have saved countless lives

Now nobody said it had to be green & yellow, would that make a difference to my safety if my watch or belt buckle would happen to become live.

 

[robsparky1975]

My missus just said to me why is there green and yellow wire sticking out of your mouth to which i replied "cwoss bondin wuv,ive had to sufflemenferry wond my fillings"

 

[hasel5]

My dogs just bite me as i tried to attach a 10mm Lsf cable to his collar and chain and made a right mess of the cable reel lol

You could go bling stylee...gold sheath with diamante encrustations.

 

[ayjay]

my lounge is full of empty beer cans should i bond them?

 

[trev]

Of course Ayjay. Safety is everyone's responsibility

 

[bigbaddave]

All my quotes are now issued with a copy of "Cocks" book. Its to justify the £2k bill they recieve to bond everything in the install. and this is before they get the quote for the work.. lol
