Some not all might have read about the little girl who lost her life when a fireplace
came away and fell onto her - I think we should post how we deal with fire surrounds

I know this is not plumbing matter but the problem is not gas - it is building and the plumbing
forum is the most looked at - so to get the msg out I have posted on here. Move it if you want
mr mod.

What we do ..........is to always use mirror plates 2x per slip = 4x then 2x per head

When doing marble slate or stone - the slips and head are ALWAYS FIXED back to a good wall
with car body filler -(epoxy) and are also joined in the same way + MIRROR plaTES


LET us all know how you do it - collective knowledge is best.......centralheatking ..:44:
 
Happy to leave it in this forum CHK, hopefully the message will get out there and if it saves 1 life, it's worth it.
