You seem to have slipped that in after I replied! We're just talking semantics (whether or not it is a 'different issue'). As you've implied yourself, there is always a requirement for any extraneous-c-p which enters the premises anywhere to be main bonded - regardless of the considerations relating to supplementary bonding in a bathroom. As far as I am concerned, whether or not one calls that a 'different issue' is really neither here nor thereI wouldn't say it is a different issue as it is one of the requirements for omission of supplementary bonding in a bathroom.
Kind Regards, John
I'd be interested to know how many premises have their cast iron soil pipe main bonded where it enters the toilet on the first floor through the wall. It would also be interesting to know how it had been done - you can't get 6" diameter bonding straps AFAIK.
