Hi all,
I am fitting a new kitchen and I'm having a new 10mm circuit to the new cooker/hob. This is going to replace the 6mm that is currently there and the MCB changed to a 40A one. My electrician checked for earth bonding and although the water is bonded the gas is not. Can someone please tell me the cheapest solution for this. Where the water is bonded, the gas pipe is also located. I have been trying to research what is required by the regs. Easiest option is to extended the earth from the water bonded strap to the gas. If it needs to be unbroken then it may be possible to reroute to go to the gas first and then to the water as an unbroken run on the cable that is currently there. Would either of these be acceptable?
Additional info:
The water comes into the property on plastic pipe then goes copper from the stop cock, can you advise if this does need the bonding that it currently has, as if not then I could move this onto the gas.
Thanks peeps.
