where ever the nearest point is that is in metal bond to that, there is no point bonding a plastic pipe :^OEvening all, kust a quick one, I need to bond the water ( of course ) but from the stop tap is all plastic for at least 5mt, bearing in mind the 600mm rule what is my best option ( not plumbing ).regards Iain
tbh you wont, but it will still earth through the water path anyway.Cheers Binky, If I go for the boiler it will be nearer the MET/CU but how do I know that there is no plastic some were between the boiler and the copper that comes off the plastic that is directly onto the stop tap.Thanks Iain
OSG. pgs 27 - 32 earthing & bonding covers these points!Evening all, kust a quick one, I need to bond the water ( of course ) but from the stop tap is all plastic for at least 5mt, bearing in mind the 600mm rule what is my best option ( not plumbing ).regards Iain
Oh no it won't - water is a very poor conductor that's why wet light fittings tend to go sizzle pop, rather than bang flash, and blow the fuse straight away, and even then it only happens because the terminals are only mm apart, not meters.tbh you wont, but it will still earth through the water path anyway.
