boiler cross bonding

[jimjamjimajam]

Just had an enquiry from someone about boiler cross bonding of pipes. Just to clarify this is not needed for 17th edition

I have to bond my neighbours C/H pipes, I know the size is 10mmsq, but i cant remember the colour/s is it-Brown+yellow, Green+yellow or Pink+yellow you sound like an intelligent guy, so perhaps you have the answer!

White will blend in well with the plastic pipes.

On a serious note:
A lot of boiler installation manuals still mark it as a requirement for the pipework to be cross bonded, and are we not supposed to obey the manufacturer above all else? (along with 3A fuses on extract fan circuits).

Its not required in the electrical regs , its one thing that was done because it looks pretty , even to 16th edition , but supplementary bonding was required as has been said in special locations also if you look at the main bonding for a gas pipe under plumbers regs they say it should be within a metre of the gas meter again not an electrical reg, as with alot of manufacturers they add requirements with out consulting the regs , look how many bathroom lights still have zone 3 on them and on instructions tell you to put the loops of a lighting circuit into a terminal block and wrap it in tape now im sure thats one thing we wouldnt do

Yes ..... Quite thank you.

The fact is that all the pipe work is bonded by means of the tap rail which it's fixed to so whether we like it or not it is already bonded by default - a fact that the idiots at British Grasp and others seem unable to understand.
