More bonding.

[Badged01]

......Have you missed some irony?

Its looks like it's got lost somewhere!

 

[Badged01]

.... i wasnt expecting someone whom usually projects a very experienced and knowledgable persona to start a daft fake sulky thread cos not everyone has the same opinion as him in another more interesting thread.

Never judge a book by its cover! Deep down inside could be a fun person waiting to escape and enjoy the banter ......

Until this is done should I hover?

Hi Incognito,

I always recommend to clients that they rip out the toilet and leave a hole to straddle ---- saves all the hassle and arguements about should the toilet seat be left up or down in the house!

Been working effectively that way in Asia for centuries

Geoffsd,

As soon as I read the original post I understood quite clearly the irony and humour intended; however this forum is quite clicky, if you haven't been accepted by the pack then humour like this just wouldn't be tolerated.

Dont believe it, you dont have to be a member of any 'clique' to post and have fun on here provided you obey the forum rules, Im a casing point! Rhino skin does help though .........

But if you want to join any of the 'special' forums then fill your boots and enjoy the privledges

Hi Incognito,

Welcome to the forum, you are going to learn lots on here!

Don't get carried away with all the calculation stuffy, real 'sparks' don't do that, its just confusing you and misleading you from what's really simple -- just follow the electrical regulations as you read them. You probably havent got a copy BS7671 yet so I can understand your confused. If you do get a copy have a good read, you'll learn loads about everything and there great for bedtime reading as well. Send you to sleep real quick. Infact when you get a copy quote the regulations to the customer if its a "chicky", she'll be really impressed with your electrical knowledge.

What you need to do here is just apply loads of thin "green'n'yellow" looking wiring (let you in on a trade secret, thats what they call supplementary bonding wire) to every little bit of metal you can see anywhere in the flat, can't go wrong then -- also guaranteed to impress your assessor too when you apply to join an approved Part 'P scheme' later! And don't worry about the plastic pipes, someone once told a friend of mines girlfriends uncle that the water inside it makes it like a metal pipe anyway. You will pick up more of this knowledge as you spend more time on the forum, dont worry if its all a bit too much for you to at the moment, you will understand it eventually.

And forget about all this main bonding stuff, you dont sound as if you're ready for that yet. What it does is definately overrated and so yesterday, RCD's are where it's at now! Anyways, just to give you a little bit of information as knowledge is power, it's just thicker "green'n'yellow" looking wire but doesn't do anything. Just costs you loads to put it onto the gas boiler pipes and the toilet pipes -- I reckon it should be a plumbers job anyway as those guys know so much more than 'sparkies'. You'll learn more about bonding stuffy type things from the more experienced 'sparks' on the forum as you progress throught your 5W course. I think they're great and I'm wanting to have some of their babies.


p.s. I think you might be better of in the electrical trainee part of the forum to start off, or even the DIY forum if you're still unsure of things. But the guys on here are great and will always help you out if they can ;-)

p.p.s. And keep away from that Geordie fella. You dont want to know what he thinks bonding is for ...... someone reckons whips and chains excite him.

Badged as usual has given solid advice, so read what he says and lear from it. the only thing i will add, and i am not getting into the bonding argument, would be to get yourself the On site guide, and read that before tackling the Regs book. The OSG is written for us thick electricians, and it has pictures in as well, so even better. The Regs book is full of nerdy things that is hard to understand and it is what the designers use.

Ignore the smart comments, you will get more help than pee taking so stick with it.


Cheers…………Howard

Thanks to all,

I just thought a step by step (and humorous?) approach to the problem of the other thread would help people realise the actual situation that they were encountering and realise that a piece of 4mm g/y isn't going to improve already low-enough resistances.

Imaginary tape measure and real calculator.



That's a good idea but -

it isn't necessary to install SB as the measurements are low enough already.



Have you missed some irony?

A recent blood test I had showed I am borderline anaemic so I have been prescribed some iron capsules to replace the irony I have lost.

Did you mean borderline academic :biggrin5: ?
Too much iron and you will get rusty pants Geordie!

If it comes out after a good rubbing on the washing dolly its not rust .....

I can afford to chuck them away now since Tidyboiler gave me half a dozen new pairs yesterday for my birthday.

Should keep me going for another 6 years or so.

Mine does the same. There's something women like about a man in his Y-fronts and string vest .... drives them wild with passion :tt1:

Well I figured since you could chop wood with the old ones, they needed replacing! :dita:
