[QUOTE="mojorebel, post: 74234, member: 5566"] At one time Wakefield Council electricians were instructed to bond plastic pipes in bathrooms - they were told to do this incase the pipes were replaced with copper- Intersting a number of years ago the IEE researched the resitance of water in plastic pipes and the results were astonishing, it tuned out that water is not a very good conductor in plastic pipes (having an avergae resitance of 100,00 ohms /m). Bonding everything is not always a good idea, If the installation is insulated from the genearl mass. Then introducing the earth from an electrical system is counter-safe. [/QUOTE]
