Bathroom bonding?

[ipjodan]

Hello,

If a metal towel radiator is fed by plastic pipes does it need bonding?

Also if the taps are feed with those flexible plastic pipes do they need bonding?

Thanks

It depends how much plastic and the size of the pipe between the copper pipes and the conductive part. I take it the towel radiator also has no electrical connection i.e. dual fuel type? http://www.iee.org/Publish/WireRegs...tumn_plastic_pipes_to_bond_or_not_to_bond.pdf

Thanks for the reply, the rad is part of a "wet" system

Is the CH system done in copper with short plastic pipes off to the towel rail? Same with the hot/cold water?

There is a short run of copper at the boiler then i beleive that the main runs are in plastic

How long a run in plastic between the boiler and the bathroom? What size pipe is this? What are the hot/cold pipes plumbed in?
