Hi,
Quick question, I need to bond the water mains into the house, that comes up into the concrete kitchen floor.
A submain CU in our extension, is installed high up in a cupboard, supplied with 2-core 16mm SWA with a separate 16mm main earth cable.
This runs down the plasterboard wall - poping out under the plinth of a kitchen cupboard, curving and out thru the outside wall back to the Earth Block installed next to the service head, approx 4mtrs away along outside wall.
This is obviously one complete cable from point to point.
It passes the water mains, would it be possible to cut / splice this cable here (there is plently of slack) into a suitable clamp, in order to provide bonding to the water mains (in 16mm)
Will this affect the earth to the submain CU? Should that be complete all the way back to the earth block?
Therefore, should I run a 10mm seperate line along the outside wall to a new clamp on the water mains, connecting to the earth block at service head/main CU area?
Or something else all together??
Thanks for advice,
Will take pic later, as everyone loves pics
