Plumbing Earthing

[wfoot]

Have installed new bathroom suite and replaced copper pipe with plastic all the way up to taps.

Was told i need to earth the taps as they are metal but this is almost impossible!

Any recommendations gratefully received.

PS I have also replaced rad with towel rail. Earth wire for rad was fixed to bottom. Can't figure out how to fix to towel rail though!?!?!?!

There is no requirement to bond the taps

There is no requirement to supplementary bond radiators or towel rails, there is a reqirement to bond metal water and waste pipes (central heating pipes if there metal)
If you have any other electrical aparatus in Zone 1,2 or 3 it will need bonding to the rad pipes
cpcs are considered suitable as supplementary bonding conductors
