Hypothetical question

[jdd]

If you had a steel framed building with the electrical service at one end and the gas/water service at the other end. Would it be possible to bond the steel as normal, but then just bond the gas/water service straight to the steel work, instead of taking back to the MET.

What's with the new avatare.

Your flattened ugly mug looked better.

It's one of my favourite pinball back glasses from the golden era of 70s pinball artwork.
I'll reinstate the old mush if you really want, too wrecked at the moment.

I got told off for changing my avatar.

It’s part of you on the board.

I vaguely remember that, (the crap that sticks in mind???)
Can't see yours properly, full pic please.

To this day I’m still not sure how they work. Only ever seen them on German printing presses. The speed is varied by the brushes being moved further apart. So you would have a motor controlling the speed of a motor.
Weird things! Like me before you get your oar in!

Laugh away you old fart, imagine your Calafornian Stud with a 10 inch rod, then think of a 52 year old Manc with an MFT slung over his shoulder...reasonable comparison.

Interesting object!?!

You really should try 3d AutoCad, you've got the basics.
As an engineer of your years I should imagine you've got the spacial awareness to stroll this.

Just tried putting up some 3D images but failed.

I've just managed to put 1 image up. Check the pics @ bottom.
3D is a piece of the .... I can scan my notes if you want.

Getting back to the original question, No idea why there are some here, that think a steel framed building that's been bonded and probably providing a pretty decent earth in it's own right, can't act as a bonding conductor. Whole factories use the steel framing of steel framed structures as it's bonding medium, for all of the factory plant and it's fixed equipment... You would need to install a huge copper conductor to match the volume and paths of conductivity that the steelwork will provide!! lol!!

 

[beatboaby924y]

Yes this would be allowed and is common practice.

 

[jarmez]

No I would'nt. I would price accordingly to run the bond to the gas and water.

 

[Engineer54]

No I wouldn't. I would price accordingly to run the bond to the gas and water.

You must be very naive if you are thinking that the mass of steel in a steel framed building isn't going to be superior, than your 10mm or whatever bonding conductor!! ...God knows what sort of money you'll be asking for all that cable, cable fixing and/or containment!! lol!!
