Hi,
I'm currently refitting the whole kitchen. To reduce costs I have found a sparky who will do all the Cert & Testing etc. I however need to do all the channelling & fitting backboxes, pulling cables etc. ready for him to come in & connect, test etc. I would ask him, but he is away for the next few weeks and I need to have the "routes" already for him on return.
The question I have is relating to getting the earth cable route to the kitchen cold water pipe from the earth block near the Meter.
The water pipe enters under the sink in the kitchen. I have not positioned any backboxes close to the sink, but the dishwasher will be the nearest electrical item, under the sink.
So do I run it in with an exisiting cable route and then exit it near the dishwasher? Or create a separate channel & conduit (but this can then be accidently drilled as no obvious electrical component nearby). I have discovered that the existing earth embedded in the wall has had the kitchen cabinets screwed through the earth cable, so its a good job it is being done.
Suggestion/pictures anything to assist will be helpful.
Thanks
