[QUOTE="boltonsparky, post: 503840, member: 4678"] In my opinion it would be deemed good practice if wiring a house to still run in a 10mm cable to the gas and water incoming pipes even if they are plastic (no need to connect them), just to future proof. Not so much of an issue if both supply and house piping is fully plastic but if there is a copper pipe system on the consumer side and any part of that piping is then run through a solid floor or solid walling either on the initial installation or at any point in the future, it would then become an extraneous conductive part and need bonding. Granted an unlikely scenario but for the cost of a bit of 10mm on a full rewire/build just stick it in then it's there. [/QUOTE]
