[QUOTE="binky, post: 534538, member: 490"] I nearly got killed by live pipework, old rewirable fuse board, redundant immersion cct not disconnected that run into the attic through the bathroom somewhere Bath fitter had put screw through the cable making the bath frame (plastic bath) and parts of the pipework live, which was mostly copper with plastic elbows. The elbows were enough to insulate the pipes and keep them live. Customer had complained of hearing 'popping noises' from under the bath and called me in to investigate, which I guess was leccy occasionally arcing past the elbows. I was reaching in under the bath with the volt probes and brushed my arm against a live pipe, much swearing followed. [/QUOTE]
