[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 288673, member: 1408"] Always with the subject of bonding and the importance /and /or necessity of it , my mind goes back to the bonding madness of the 15th (I think it was the 15h) And I sum it up thus : - Scenario A . A plumber fits a metal sinktop/drainer , it never gets bonded because there wasn't an electrician on that particular job. But if we were there and missed a sink bond the local authority Clerk of the Jerks would bite your gonads off. Scenario B. A DIYer fits same sink , never gets bonded. Scenario C . Gas supply is installed , again no sparky so thats never bonded either. Scenario D. You try to earth a sink top but it has no means of connection .Again it suddenly becomes less important. Scenario E. You must (a) Strap it to the H&C or B Connect it to the nearest socket or C wire it back to the board with 2.5/ 4mm/ 6mm/ 10mm I've had the lot . But it always seemed to me that it was deathly important to bond a sink , unless there,s no sparky there ...then no one can be bothered to organize it so forget it . [/QUOTE]
