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.

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.

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.

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