earth bonding in bathroom

[ian36]

the new bathroom im fitting has no earth bonding at all question..................... can i connect all the pipes together with earth cable and connect the cable to an earth in a socket ????????????????????

Might be better to connect it to an earth on the lighting circuit, if there are no sockets in the bathroom.... probably not a requirement or anything.

I hope that was a joke?

As in which earth you connect it to, not saying that the entire bonding exercise is optional!!

 

[RF Lighting]

But it does matter.

You have to extend your bonding to the earth of EVERY circuit which enters the bathroom.

Do you understand why supplementary bonding is installed?

Sorry, I'm no expert, but my thinking in my original reply was actually correct, I just wasn't sure when I wrote it whether or not it was compulsory to connect to the same circuit or just a common earth - I am now due to your answer!
