Hi all just wanted to get some clarity with regards to bonding. I understand we bond main gas and water pipes if Metallic. On consumer side.
am I correct in thinking under the 18th edition you don’t need supplementary bonding ?
i.e if you have a boiler in the kitchen do the pipes going into it need to be bonding. I was on a job where the main gas needed to be bonding and I was given the job of doing it. The guy installing the boiler told me that I should be bonding the pipes under the boiler when he had gone. My mentor told me not to listen to the guy. He said under the 18th edition as long as the main gas is bonding supplementary bonding isn’t required.
My understanding is if you can touch one hand on electric and one hand on the pipe it should be bonded. But if the main gas and water is bonded is supplementary bonding required ?
