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?

Well I assume you don't want me to comment about your boss? lol, what a total plonker

He is a typical irish bloke.

So no need

Ive been told by boss before now to bond main.

Cut plastic after stopcock.

Insert stub of copper then back to plastic and bond to that

If he is paying you to do that then so be it?

Hope his Boss has insurance to cover work done by (possibly) unqualified employees on water services, L.8 would be an absolute minimum.

Boss Is a nutter need I say anymore?

He is the only one that would take me on as an apprentice at the time.

As soon as I qualify im joining a firm as a mate to get more experience.

Ill get more money as a mate at another firm than an approved electrician here.


I know that it doesnt need bonding if certain criteria is met for example a certain resistance value etc in regs etc
