Hi everyone,
Having finally had a full house rewire done, I had a question about how the main water pipe has been bonded, if I could get some advice on it that would be great.
Coming out of the kitchen floor is the copper water main, which runs about 4 inches to the main stop tap. This is copper pipe, and has (as far as I can see) no bonding attached to it. This copper pipe then transitions to plastic for a short section, before changing back to copper again. This second copper pipe run feeds the sink, boiler etc. This run of pipe IS bonded with 10mm back to the CU.
Basically, is this correct? Should there be a 'jumper' around the plastic section, so that the incoming water pipe is (electrically) connected as well?
I'm happy if it is OK, it just doesn't seem quite right to me.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers,
Colin
