The Reason I Started The BONDING Thread Yesterday

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

I,m about to write my response to the letter this bloke sent me, could anyone quote me 4.5 Page 41 Green On Site Guide.... {main bonding}

4.7 Page 42 Green On Site Guide.... {Sup bonding}

4.8 Page 43 Green On Site Guide.... {plastic pipe installations}

Thanks

I haven't looked up any of these but you should really get something out the regs book rather than the guide as thats the comment that will be thrown back at you, even though it sounds like your the one being done.

Problem is I'm not at home for a week and I need to send a reply to this bloke before he goes legal. I'll have to get the missus to go through the regs and see if she can quote me.

Thanks for your advice

OSG 2008 (red book) 4.7 Supplementary Bonding of plastic pipe installaytions

Supplementary bonding is not required to metallic parts supplied by plastic pipes.

Table 4.2 note v "If incoming gas and water services are of plastic, main bonding connections are to be made to metal installation pipes only, where required. "

4.4 Main protective bonding of plastic services

There is no requirement to main bond an incoming service where the incoming service pipe and the pipework within the installation are both of plastic. Where there is a plastic incoming service and a metal installation within the premises, main bonding is recommended unless it has been confirmed that any metal pipework within the building is not introducing earth potential. All bonding connections connections are to be applied to the consumers side of any meter, main stopcock or incoming insert.

He is just trying it on and trying to get the cost of the boiler from you, check your initial letter as you stated it was just installing and fitting the boiler, unless you stated that you would commisssion it as well then I don't see what he can do.
