Earthing plastic pipe systems

park5view · 21 May 2006

I have recently re-plumbed the house with plastic pipe for the heating and the hot and cold feed to all the sinks/bath.

Do I need to earth all the taps/radiators as you would with a copper system? If so how?

Many thanks - park5view

If the entire bathroom installation is in plastic pipe then this does not need to be bonded but if there is more than one electrical circuit in the bathroom (ligts and a shower for example) then these need to be equipotentioaly bonded.

P.S. You're up late
