Hi,
Another question about bonding in the shower!

I've just had an electrical shower fitted. The pipework up the wall behind the tiles is copper, but it then switches to plastic then outside the bathroom turns to copper again.

The electrician fitted the pull switch, and told me that the shower does not need bonding. For my satisfaction is this correct? The consumer unit is protected by 30mA RCD.

You no longer need Eqipotential bonding: Assuming there is a 30mA RCD protecting the circuit, and the main bonds are in place and within spec to the water and other services (ie gas, oil).

Hi T,

Ok, thanks.

I've just learnt how the RCDs work. Cleverrrr.
