Hello folks.
I'm replacing the cable to my shower with 10mm² following fitting a new consumer unit as part of general updating works.
Notified BCO early in year, hence working to 16th.
Existing bonding was in place from shower to bath taps, but not to sink or radiator as far as I can see. Sink is easy as it's next to bath.
Radiator is on the other side of the room. I can easily bond the radiator pipes under the floorboards on the landing, about 1.5m - 2m from the radiator itself, but is this acceptable? Can't see in the reg's any distance quoted other than 'close proximity'. If I bond the pipes does a cable need to be run to the radiator itself or can the continuity through the compression fittings be relied on?
Any advice welcomed. If I have to take up the flooring so be it...
