plastic pipe and earth.

[mrloy99]

I'm a kitchen fitter,who uses end feed solder fittings(cheaper).

This situation with the earthing requirements is confusing,so I just earth it all,unless its obviously all plastic.

On a similar theme,how does ptfe tape on gas affect the electrical conductivity?

you would probably have tapered threads and the threads would bite thru the ptfe so I doubt it would affect it.

Hi guys, thats what i got told, just to run 10mm to main water in and leave there incase it gets changed at a later date????
Suppose if they pay me for it i dont mind.

Why not clamp the plastic pipe to make appoint and also charge for that

You must put the bond to the incoming service within 600mm of it entering the property anyway.

Or nearest practicable point^

Sometimes if you talk nice to the plumber, he may put in a short piece of copper from the main stop cock for you to attach your clamp to.

I thought that the idea to bond to the water and gas was all part of the means of ADS if the incoming water / gas is plastic what possible good does it serve?

it doesn't

No it doesnt but i would always run the cable anyway and the bit of copper serves as a termination point.
