Route of earth cable
I intend to upgrade supplemenatry bonding in bathroom. Pipes are no problem but downflow heater, towel rail and shaver socket are on 3 different walls. The downflow heater is installed at over 6 foot high and the shaver socket is about 4 foot.
I know that I bond from the cpc to pipework for electrical equipment but I will have to chase down walls in order do this.
Does this earth wire have to be mechanically protected in some way as the path will not be obvious/follow IEE regs for live main cable. No one is going to be immediately harmed if this wire is breached in some way but the whole purpose of the protection would be lost.
If not mechanically protected -
connections have to be accessible but can I route cable behind skirting board/architrave
Can I wire from one cpc to another then wire to pipework
Do I include lighting circuit in this if it is over 2.5 metres high
I have some 10mm earthing cable - there is a minimum size for various cables and 10mm may be over the top, but is it ok to use
appreciate any comments
