Ok boys, girls, Steptoes, KME's, Pigs, Cows, Admins
or any other combination or permutation thereof....
As Donkeydong would say...... "heres a nice little one for a Friday"..
Although Apache would say ITS still THURSDAY cuz you haven't been to bed and woken up yet.. [but it is 1:30 Friday morning]
so ANYWAY...
did a little domestic PIR earlier this week...
found the following earth bonding conductors....
it reminded me of the sort of thing you would find on a collage test rig for C&G 2391 practical test....
Wylex 4-way CU
{circuit wires disconnected to allow testing & access to earth bar}
Two 6.0mm earth wires onto earth bar..
bottom connection goes to MET on head of incoming PME supply.
Water stop tap under kitchen sink
Two horizontal pipes can be seen One Hot/One Cold!
Two 6.0mm wires connect one to each pipe.
{extra edited info..}
Just to add, the water pipe joint, behind the waste pipe is a 'tee' not an 'elbow'! can be seen better here.
Gas meter in garage
One 6.0mm conductor connected onto outgoing pipe from gas meter.
Other facts..
all bonding was disconnected & long-lead continuity test was carried out to verify which wires go where..
one from CU to sink (water).
one from water at sink to garage gas.
1] How many errors/omissions/non-compliances can you note with this arrangement?
2] How would you leave the installation after completing PIR?
