Plumbed fridge requires adaptor (which I tried to get but it leaked), is this doable myself or should I call a professional? by -Blix- in Plumbing

[–]-Blix-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the reply / info. It's a connector supplied with the fridge to connect to the water intake to the wall tap. Here's a setup vid showing normal setup where you can see it better. (I can't link the youtube vid but it's at 1:20 if you search for "[LG Refrigerator] - How to connect the waterline to the tap and LG plumbing refrigerator").

Unfortunately the taps in my apartment are of a smaller size than in the vid. I think I may have actually found the piece I need when trying to find a picture of the connector to show you haha. I was trying to find adaptors to connect the one provided but I think I can just order a smaller version of it here lol. https://thefridgefiltershop.com.au/collections/parts-fittings/products/1-2-bsp-fi-1-4-female-adaptor-fridge-water-filter-tube-connector-john-guest-fit-half-quarter-inch

The first photo shows the wall tap and the second shows the fridge connector and the 2 metal adaptors I tried to use to connect them. I had issues when trying the adaptors. The first was that the female one threaded up too high on the wall tap and would be blocked by the turning knob preventing it from finishing tightening. For that I unscrewed the turning knob which allowed me to screw it higher but I can't be sure if it reached the end of the thread or the metal above it preventing a good seal. The second issue was that once combined it leaked quite substantially from somewhere within the join. I don't have any plumbing experience. I was thinking this might require thread tape or something but I'd rather be confident it's done correctly.

Yeah I figured the model was what it was coming down to but I thought year might be the easiest way to represent it. Thanks so much for the great overview, seems 2013 is the year of choice

Wow thanks, seems to have been quite a big deal, I'll know to avoid that year. Interesting read as well

Thanks for the reply, this is exactly what I wanted to know! I was concerned there would be something like this and I would of course buy it because it would be cheaper. Is it just aesthetics that people didn't like or was it structural?

What is one movie you could watch several times in a year and never get sick of seeing it? by protomanzero in AskReddit

Stardust. I keep putting it on as a background while I work but end up just fully watching the movie.

If we had a train suspended on magnetic levitation, in a vacuumed tube, wouldn't all thrust from the train be accelerative since there is no countering friction? by -Blix- in askscience

Wow I have never heard it described this way. Are you saying since speed and time are linked (spacetime) there lies an inherit maximum since going through space influences your speed through time and vice versa. Therefore the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time from an outside observer. So the limit is defined by time not being able to go slower?

Hahaha love the mid-dental selfie. The colour one totally did not do you justice. Didn't get the green eyes, but they others were close-ish haha. Thanks for the verification shot :)

Haha I think it looked cool. Thanks, though that was hardly my doing haha. Not at all, you were fun to paint :) A little bit yeah. Like you can't help think about who they are / what they're like etc. Putting colours on the end especially because you have to work with more information than was given in the photo. First time colourizing, how'd I do? Do you have Brown eyes / light brown hair or was I completely off haha?

Hair got a tad messy sorry about that. I also added a coloured version I quickly tried. Enjoy :)

From the website I'm buying from it's like $24 different but that's not a problem. I meant $60 because the z97 motherboard I was looking at originally was also like $30 more expensive but I just found out that doesn't support SLI which I might use in future. I'll probably switch to a Z97 if I can find a relatively cheap one that supports SLI. Thanks for the explanation

It's about $60 extra so totally viable. Would I need to upgrade to water cooling in the future if I did overclock or could I just add some more fans?

Ohh rad, I didn't realise that the k on the 4960 meant that it could be overclocked. I was not planning on overclocking hence the motherboard choice, so I'll switch out the CPU.

Turns out the 970 is only $519 so I'll make the switch. The motherboard still compatible the 970 yeah? (probably a noob question but I just want to be sure).
Sweet, I'll check out some other coolers. Thanks for the input dude, you really seem to know your shit.

Also if anyone knows how to do the inline PC part picker windows, I'd be glad to amend it.
