microbore earth clamps

[albi]

Hi every one started a job yesterday and found that the incoming oil supply is not earthed but as the pipe is microbore I can't find any earth straps to fit and the earth that is going to it is 25mm any ideas please

Hi, Ive come across this problem before but actually on central heating pipes .The first time there was an earthing point on the microbore manifold by the boiler.Been scratching my head for days trying to work out how to bond all these pipes sticking out of the floor,then the plumber turned up with the manifold!,all smiles after that.
Second time I got the plumber to solder a tag onto the pipe and the DNO inspector seemed happy with that.But these were all water pipes,if its a new install ie; no oil in the pipe yet see if you can get the plumber to solder a tag on for you(if hes a plumber who still knows how to solder!!).
Maybe another way would be to use a MICC P clip,stripped of the plastic coating then re shaped around the pipe then nut and bolt and bobs mothers brother etc.Not sure about compliance with the regs though with this method.Hope that helps.
