O.K . . . Continued tidying the modifications where the old window was (i.e. fitting conduit for the monitor cables and fitting architrave to match the adjacent area).
Just need to add a top-coat on the architrave and then a bead of silicone to finish that off - but more on that later.
Progress on the actual taps / plumbing / drinking part of this project has been next-to-nil recently so I decided to work on this today . . .
First was to fit the tails to the pressure gauges (1 is currently in use as a test - so these are the remaining 2).
I tried using PTFE tape initially but this was too much . . and me being me tightened the fitting too much and split one of the tails . . . thankfully I had a spare and switched to thread-lock to lock and seal the threads.
Next the "tap plate" . . . mounting all this individually to the wall proved too much and left my new wall in a state when I test-fitted the first tap. The plate was laser-cut, leaving me to chamfer the holes and edges, add corners to three of the larger holes (these will take the gauges) then mark, drill and tap the holes for the tap-bases . . .
Looks a little messy but it'll get some wrinkle paint so will be fine . . .
Next mount the taps to their bases and trim the pipes as required . . .
Next mount the taps and degrease . . .
I was going to leave the brass on show . . . but decided black, white, brass and chrome was too many colours in one small area . . . so the brass will be black, leaving the chrome taps and white gauge faces to stand out . . .
Am currently painting . . .
