Hi
I have a modern bungalow (10 Years Old) which has one earth lead connected from mains in to rising water mains in and all pipework is brass/copper.
My son has purchased a 1890's house in which all pipe work in the kitchen/bathroom is bonded.
We are fitting a new kitchen & bathroom suite.
Whilst I can see the need for bonding the rising main in the kitchen and all the pipe work due to appliances that might be used in close proximity to the Taps/Sink unit, is this level of bonding also necessary in a bathroom (bearing in mind all the plastic plumbing fittings that can be used) when the light/fan switch is external to the bathroom and no other source of power available.
Many Thanks (In Anticipation)
