We have a copper pipe running along a wall outside in the garden - it's used to supply a sprinkler system. (Inside the house it's plastic, there's a join to copper just before it comes outside.)
Should it be bonded? It's not at present. All my knowledge of bonding comes from pipework running...
Hi guys
Would appreciate your comments on the following.. I am currently involved in the refurbishment of a building with 2 service heads (both in use) but only one gas intake and one water intake. What are the main bonding requirements in this situation? I am assuming both MET's require a...
What are peoples thoughts on bonding powered Street furniture that is within touching distance of each other.

I've not yet got a copy or read the 18th ed
But I heard the other day from a young Engineer at work who's doing the course ( his first time doing regs exam) that in the 18th it's compulsory to bond all joins in tray etc
Can anyone elaborate on this?

Does this require Main Bonding? The stop cock tests as 0.36Ω to earth, it is TNCS.
I just cant see how...
Good Evening Everyone,
I've gotten myself some work along an experienced electrician which I am massively grateful for.
Prior to this, I need to test an installation. I am confident on the use of my tester and how to carry out the tests from what I have learned when I got my C&G2392 but I...
hi. Question re bonding a metal where cold comes in as metal pipe ground into house. So cold will be bonded where service comes in. Read article in wiring matters 2019 about changes for part 18. Example given of faulty kettle where fault to earth exists at kettle, some one touches kettle...
Was talking about this with a couple of guys on site earlier and differing opinions were had. It seems the line quoted below has introduced some confusion.
"Metallic pipes entering the building having an insulating section at their point of entry need not be connected to the protective...
Hi, a little clarity required please.
I’ve recently been to a property to make an emergency repair to a broken cable ( they drilled through it). I’ve patched the cable for the moment but while I was looking at the bonding I found the CH pipes bonded next to the incomer but not the incomer...
I'm aware that a 10mm earth cable needs to run to the incoming water and gas supply but I was wondering if someone could tell me whether this should be from the consumer unit, the main incoming fuse, or both? TIA
