Does this need bonding?

[GMES]

OP why is it that as soon as a commercial kitchen crops up peoples brains go in to freewheel?

Tony in your vast Library, have you got any literature on the practise of bonding window frames just to help the lad out in case he as to price for that as well.

I've got the 16th OSG sat at the side of me now.

Just going for a bath then I'll have a look. (Wonder if the bath is bonded? I'd better check before I get in it.)

If not don't worry just get a plastic bucket full of sand next to bath and throw a rod in it

Good choice, as you may have to "cross bond" a metal one..

Whats the video say?
I have no speakers on my computer as I ran out of earth cable to bond them, and the gardener said not to use headphones.

So OP you have had the pee taken out of you, now back to work. What are your findings??

The baths OK.

It’s not in the 16[SUP]th[/SUP]. Just about everything else needs supplementary bonding. I know it was in the 15[SUP]th[/SUP], I don’t know where I’ve put that.

Can check the American and Indian codes if you like. NEC2011 makes more sense than IET BS7671.

NEC2011 makes more sense than IET BS7671.

If you can make sense of all the exceptions you often get with many of the code numbers.... They can send you all over the bloody code book!! lol!!

I was thinking more along the lines of how understandable they are, once you get your head around the terminology.
Any set of regs will be cross referenced, it’s the nature of the beast.

It was funny watching Glennsparks telling them the NEC code is wrong regarding Grounding, Earthing and Bonding.

In the words of Cocckburn, yes and bloody quick before the building become live and kills anyone who comes within a 100 meter radius if it.

Or in the words of a competent electrician, get someone in Who knows what they are doing.
