What's the point of this?

[electromonkey]

What was going through the person's head when they did this?

 

[Geordie Spark]

Well of it wasn't clamped to the pipe it would be flapping about in fresh air & looking untidy !!

Seems perfectly sensible to me. :cowboy: YEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[electromonkey]

Wonder how many times its been done before and painted by the owner. Do we all check its copper pipe ?

Well, yes, if I was going to bond it! Don't you?

 

[SPARTYKUS]

You need to perform the appropriate test first before you rip into that plumber, maybe its special pipe and he got an IR less that 20 odd thousand ohms ...... :tounge_smile:

 

[needasparks]

Well, yes, if I was going to bond it! Don't you?

If it was already in place no !

 

[trev]

So if the pipe is there you just bond it without checking to see if it's metallic or not?

 

[needasparks]

I'm starting to think this is a plumbers site.

NO, if the bonding is already done i don't fit more !
My point was do we check the pipe that is bonded is copper.

 

[trev]

NO, if the bonding is already done i don't fit more ! I Agree
My point was do we check the pipe that is bonded is copper.

Always

LOL. Needsaspark, you're having a tin hat moment me thinks. You want a shovel to help with your digging?

 

[needasparks]

I possibly did not explain what i was thinking in the post and was getting at additional works or a periodic and like they assumed what i was saying i hope they don't assume its copper.
Yes the tin hat was to hand, and I assume the shovel is plastic ? lol.

 

[Darkwood]

this tin hat thing, does it need bonding?????

i thought everyone knew plastic pipe should be bonded with 10mm earth cable lol
with me being a gas engineer ive been on jobs where the plastic condensate pipe on boilers has been cross bonded to the other copper pipes. had a few laughs over that. even seen a fuse spur for the boiler taken of a light ring

I can better that. I've seen a shower fed from a lighting circuit using 1.5mm to take the feed to a 40A dp switch!

I'd guess the bond was originally on a copper pipe which was replaced and whoever did it just stuck the bond back on again.

Good guess! That explains it.

...and the warning notice has been removed because its no longer a Safety Electrical Connection

The angle of the pipe going into the JG connector is terrible!
