Essex Flange 2, this time there's commentary!
Hi, so I had a lot of people moaning about my choice of music on the last Essex Flange effort, having another opportunity to film this process I thought I might commentate this time.
For those of you that enjoyed the music I apologise.
Please leave any comments or criticisms to start any discussions.

Great video of a professional installation. Essex flanges are not for the feint hearted! When I’ve fitted them I’ve used a thin bungee cord hooked onto the loop on the wire. I hook the other end of the bungee to the timber of the tank cupboard (or some other nearby immovable object). Their puts the cord and wire under light tension and prevents the risk of the flange falling into the tank. You have both hands free to work on the assembly and you can line up all of the components in sequence on the cord.

Brilliant ! Thanx mate! I agree with the silicon sealer. Good practice.

Cheers, a positive comment, makes a change

If you did it per instructions it tells you to mark the 2 holes before you start then you know where to tighten up the flange

I recently did something similar my tank. I was a bit reticent to use the essex flange as it relies on a rubber seal which could degrade over time. I ended up using a standard tank connector and soldered it in. Flooded the thing with probably way more solder than needed but it worked a treat and I'm sure it'll last the life of the tank.

Nice, I’ve often wondered about trying that
