[QUOTE="phil d, post: 452719, member: 27126"] The trouble is Tony, these plumbers/ heating engineers/gas fitters, or whatever they call themselves haven't a clue about BS7671. I had a row with one when I refused to bond the pipes under a boiler, apart from the gas feed everything else in the house, and to boiler was plastic, except for the last meter before the boiler,m that was copper. The pipework was attached to a metal manifold plate, the boiler then attached to this,therefore the pipes are all electrically connected by this plate, gas is bonded at meter, and there is an earth connection at the electrical terminals in the boiler, it's earthed! This clown said that his reg's stated that all the pipes entering the boiler must be connected together with an earth cable, and if it wasn't he wasn't going to commision it! I asked him who had connected the power to the boiler, he replied that he had, in that case, I replied, if you are bothered about cross bonding the pipes, then you can do that also. [/QUOTE]
