It is for loading with weight plates and suspending from a cable or handle. Here is a visual example:

A good point well made; I've amended the thread title

I’ll preface this by saying my project is very much DIY but not plumbing related, I thought this was the best forum to ask about pipe threads. I’m making a loading pin for weight training (rather than dropping £30-£40 on commercially made versions) using a floor flange, threaded pipe, reducing...

Hi Does anyone know what size male thread (i.e eye bolt) will fit into a 3/8" female BSP pipe thread? Or if there even is such a gauge? Obviously (now I've done some reading :rolleyes:) 3/8" BSPT is the internal pipe diameter of the male part, not the outer thread diameter. Thanks

My bathroom is above an unheated storage area accessed from outside, presumably originally a coal shed. The bathroom has been rather cold and drafty during the winter, so I've pulled down the plasterboard ceiling in the shed and fitted 100mm Celotex between the floor joists. Between the...

I recently purchased a 1960s council-built house with a storage space underneath the bathroom, adjacent to the kitchen. The space is accessed from outside so is not heated/double glazed/sealed, and hence the bathroom feels much colder than the rest of the house. There were some exposed drafty...

I believe my girlfriend obtained 2 or 3 quotes, of which I don't think this guy was the cheapest. He is a busy local plumber who is regularly used by family and friends. His quote was based on chasing out the pipework, but when he arrived he proposed using trunking instead, as a quicker and...

Thanks for all the responses. It has not been paid for and the plumber will be asked to either tidy up the job or remove the trunking completely (Although I'm not sure how we'd verify he didn't charge for it...). I also agree that painted pipes would be better, the only snag being the exposed...

My girlfriend has just had central heating installed. Her flat has hard flooring and ceiling so the initial plan was to chase out pipework through the floor. The plumber then suggested plastic trunking as cheaper and neater than chasing out. The finished product however is far from neat (See...

The locking parts consist of 2 hooks, a square bar next to the handle, and 2 pointed bars which push upwards and downwards into keeps.

Hi, There is a cold draft coming through my UPVC doors and one of them whistles when the wind picks up. I successfully tightened up the hinge side with allen keys, but have not been able to adjust the cams on the hook keeps. I've tried a set of torx keys and a set of allen keys but nothing...

Underneath is shut away in a cupboard so access is very possible (through pasterboard) and decoration is not an issue. The cupboard will not be carpeted.

Thanks, I'll give some heavy screws a go. I’ve taken up 50 years’ worth of phone wires, cable clips, underlay staples and carpet grippers so hopefully not :cry:. I may obtain some treatment to make sure. Thanks, I’ll probably try a combination of glue, screws and the beading. If it...

I’m hoping to fix some noisy steps in my newly acquired house prior to fitting new carpets. I was planning on taking up the treads to glue and screw to the stringer and riser (Access from underneath is not possible), but the skirting is cut around the end of each tread so they won’t move...
