Bonding

[shieldssecurity]

Hi,

Just a quick question.

If a building has a plastic water supply and plastic piping throughout, do the few metres of copper pipe connected to the boiler need bonding??

Thanks for your help

unless the pipework passes through the general fabric of the building and may introduce a potential of the general mass of earth into the installation,

for example, buried under concrete floors, plastered into walls, etc.
