Welcome back sir, we were just talking about you (and a few others) a couple of days ago.
Nice things of course

Thank you too Trev....Not sure I approve of nice things being said about me though


Archy, I'm often watching the posts and having a chuckle...

Hi,

I have always understood from the regulations that a bonding conductor should be connected to any water installation pipes, gas installation pipes central heating etc, etc. Ok, it may be the case that these are not extraneous , but as i mentioned in an earlier post, things change over time; and yes it may be over the top, belt and braces and all that, but it is something I believe is necessary. Perhaps we don't all agree with that, but it does make life more exciting having these discussions, seeing we all interpret things in different ways.

Regards.

Aye, metal pipes coming out of the ground!

Jesus H Christ. I'm done with this stupidity. I'm unsubscribing before I say something that'll get me banned.

So if you came to my home you'd advise me to pay you to have things done which are unnecessary?
Presumably you're quite happy to charge me for this unnecessary work?
Hmmm, Matthew Allbright and Dom Littlewood would love you.

A little IR test maybe. lol

Hi,
Lets put it this way, if you were doing a new build, would you put all of your wiring in place then wait to the end of the job to see if you needed to run in any bonding cables?

Regards.

 

[davesparks]

No, I'd find out before I ran any cables in!
New build is likely going to be plastic incoming services with plastic internal pipes for the wet stuff these days so chances of needing bonding are somewhere between slim and none.

The only thing that will require bonding, and only as a damned peace keeping exercise, is the gas. The damned gas safe bods have got plumbers convinced that every gas meter must have a 10mm bond on it or else the apocalypse will be upon us or something.

G/Y every where job done.

Hi,

Perhaps we can agree to meet halfway on this Dave. Like I say we all look at things differently,

Regards.

Basic plumbing is a piece of the proverbial; pipe bending, joints etc.
Get yourself some bits and pieces and give it a go.
Why give your hard earned to a plumber!!!

Piece of pi$$ mate .... it's just a few pipes & fittings & things. What could possible go wrong???

Thats what the plumber said on the Titanic , when he was mending the leak ..

Oi! the only leaks I've ever had were on my first attempt.
Did some Yorkshire joints, good blast with the burner, SOLID!
Drip, drip, drip.
No flux.
Not a single bad joint since. Even end feed.
Can't match Marv's last effort though.

Soldering pipes is as easy as soldering anything else really.

It's the knowing of which pipe goes where that gets a tad more tricky. It amazes me how many electricians who wire boiler systems haven't taken the time to learn about the plumbing side of things.
How can you hope to install a control system for something when you don't understand how the system works?
