bonding to water pipe.

[paddyc3112]

I have recently done an EICR test on a flat. The only issue being that the water pipe is not bonded at the stop cock. The stop cock itself is located just outside the flat front door in a service cupboard - the trouble is the pipes are all plastic in the service cupboard and under the floor into the flat.
It seems to be that all pipe on show is plastic, the only copper pipe I have found is in the water tank cupboard which is nowhere near the point of entry or the stop cock and is permanently screwed shut.

My question is where should I bond it?

No, not at all - we just enjoy each others company.

It doesn't do any harm at all to revisit things no matter how long you've been doing them just o keep you sharp & fresh.

I think there's an element of masochism about it.

I understand your point, but to even attempt these tests you need an MFT or separate instruments and there are not many DIYers have them.

On the other hand, I think it's easier for us to post a link to these Youtube clips on here than get involved in endless dialogue trying to explain things via the written word.
