OK, so I've done a search and can't find what I'm looking for. I have a very simple question - how do you nail in a noggin? I need to put one in to wall mount our dryer. Thanks.

Dryers usually come with an optional steel bracket that can span across the studs ....(oops I just went and measured mine and it's less than 600mm) Tap the wall and hopefully find a noggin in the right place and attach the bracket. You can also hang the dryer upside down and reverse the control panel. I never added a noggin to my wall....just must of been lucky there was one were I wanted my dryer.

A noggin is a piece of timber nailed between 2 studs.
What you want is a plate to fix your brackets to. A piece of 90 x 19 pine, long enough to span 2 studs (approx 600mm), nailed or preferably screwed through the plaster into the studs will provide you with a decent mounting surface for the brackets (which should come with your dryer.) EDIT - OK, so now we know you are getting in before the plaster is in. Just cut the nog to size so it fits tight between the studs. using 2 x 3 - 4 inch nails either side nail from the outside of the studs inwards into the end grain of the noggin. simple. you can also nail diagonally through the nogin first outwards into the studs. but this is a bit harder if your not a dab hand on the hammer Re: Noggin question 6Mar 15, 2009 10:57 pm Yea I would have thought it was as simple as hammering the noggin with a nail into the stud Re: Noggin question 7Mar 16, 2009 11:29 am studs are at 450mm centres therefore to span 2 studs would be 900mm Re: Noggin question 9Mar 16, 2009 1:38 pm To fit our dryer bracket we would screw it on rather than nailing and use wall plugs. You can also buy a stud finder from Bunnings.
Not sure how to do it before the plaster goes up but I don't recommend using just nails to hold up a bracket for a dryer, it would definitely require screws.

Re: Noggin question 10Mar 16, 2009 3:29 pm wake_me I was assuming 600 centres which would need a 600mm plate to span between the 2 studs, 900mm would actually span 3 studs at 450mm. But thanks for picking a nit 900mm would refer to 2 stud spans - I guess it could be interpereted your way too. thank you! do we need to get this or our builder before we commence new build on the block? 2 10261 You can really use anything you want the main consideration would be how it looks once painted/finished - or the look you want.
