supplementary bonding

[bredon86]

is ok to take a 10mm earth out of a cooker point to a water pipe?? if not what would the code be?

On the basis you're refering to a PIR, IMHO I'd mark it as a code 2

Depends what the 10mm² earth is for?

 

[telectrix]

why would you want to do this?

 

[Deleted member 26818]

I'm assuming that the Zs on the distribution cable were too high, or perhaps there is a lack of continuity on the CPC.

is this supposed to be the equipotential bonding to the incoming water main? :-/

supplementary bonding to the water pipes under the sink. so yes gazz

is the consumer unit etc up to scratch with 17th edition? rcd's etc? just thinking if so then supplementary bonding is not required. (if the cable you are talking about is just acting as a supplementary bonding i.e bonding pipes to taps) if its the equipotential bonding (main bonding to incoming water pipe) then this will not be adequate and you will need to run a new 10mm earth direct to the consumer unit
