I’m just checking the earth bonding in my bathroom....
There are two copper pipes coming into the bathroom for hot and cold water. These then connect to plastic pipes, and every connection to a tap or shower after that is by plastic pipe.
We have a stainless steel bath, with chrome mixer taps, overflow and chrome shower. All of the pipe work here is plastic as mentioned above.
There is a chrome towel that is connected to the heating using plastic pipes but has copper tails. It also has an electric heating element.
As far as I can see there is no earth bonding on the back of any of the taps or pipe work.
Should any of this be bonded to earth? Should the bath be bonded to earth? The towel rail appears to be earthed through the heating element but I cant see any other earthing?
In this scenario how should everything be bonded to be safe?
As I am replacing some of the bathroom I want to make sure it all safe at the safe time.
