Is aquapanel of sufficient strength to mount a bar mixer on using the
panel mount option, ie. a washer and bolt either side of the panel on
the 1/2" bsp externally threaded inlet ? Will it cope with someone
tripping and grabbing the bar mixer ? I've heard that aquapanel can be
rather brittle. Would it crack in this situation ?
Cheers,
Simon.

Highly unlikely. Washer and "bolt"? On the 1/2" tails?

Most probably. Secure the mixer onto something very solid. Saying that, if
the Aquapanel was screwed to a solid surface all around the mixers tails and
the pipes were securely clipped, I suspect it would take it. But if you
have so much solid surface around you may as well fix the mixer onto
something more solid. Screwing Aquapanel together around the mixer area,
about 18" all around the mixer, will give much greater strength.

Cheers,
Simon.

Whoops. Washer and nut of course.

Last time I mounted the mixer or an aluminium panel that was screwed
into brick.
May do something similar this time.
