Well it needs to be stable enough that it can be weather-sealed to the house without the sealing coming apart.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12884&Focus=239031#Comment_239031 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12884&Focus=239031#Comment_239031 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 12:45:56 +0100 Peter_in_Hungary https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12884&Focus=239064#Comment_239064 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12884&Focus=239064#Comment_239064 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 20:26:11 +0100 fostertom https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12884&Focus=239071#Comment_239071 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12884&Focus=239071#Comment_239071 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 21:52:18 +0100 djh Posted By: fostertomBut not tightened to apply any compression, hence no frictional locating.

Two screws at angles create a triangle that provides location without bending forces.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12884&Focus=239075#Comment_239075 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12884&Focus=239075#Comment_239075 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 22:45:51 +0100 fostertom https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12884&Focus=239076#Comment_239076 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12884&Focus=239076#Comment_239076 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 23:10:31 +0100 Ed Davies
You can get fixings which have a screw thread on the pointy end then a machine thread you can run a nut down for the other half. That'd allow a nut to be run up against the conservatory frame preventing turning or movement of the fixing while not putting compression on the EWI. Whether you can get them long enough for this application is another question of course. Ideally you'd want an unthreaded shank for the part through the EWI.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12884&Focus=239146#Comment_239146 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12884&Focus=239146#Comment_239146 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 22:01:27 +0100 Ed Davies
The nut's completely separate - I just put it on for illustration.

What are they called?]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12884&Focus=239150#Comment_239150 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12884&Focus=239150#Comment_239150 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 23:19:09 +0100 Gotanewlife
On second thoughts I think I have bought Fischer ones separately.

An example:

I was puzzled until shown the trick by an aircraft engineer but felt a bit better about it later when the fairly practical person I was part dismantling the observatory with didn't work it out for themselves, either. Works well when using threaded rod as a bolt, as well. E.g, https://edavies.me.uk/2016/04/1f/dsc01724-small.jpg]]>
