[QUOTE="batty, post: 10559, member: 66"] Hello norv, This is the problem with plumbers these days using plastic pipe for speed and probably cost as well. As far as I can see if the rest of the installation is metal pipes it will still need bonding. If you have access where the plastic changes to copper take your 10mm to here if not what I would do is take a 10mm to the rising main in the airing cupboard if possible and cross bond all pipes in 10 mm or alternatively 10 mm to the rising main in the airing cupboard and then cross bond the other pipes in 4 mm. It is still a metal pipe installation and needs to be earthed. You would then need to wright a departure on your certificate but you have done the best with what has been provided. batty [/QUOTE]
