Main Bond

[andyjw]

Bonding seems to be a happy subject so here is a little question for you all.

I have been asked to T&I a commercial building and have been over for a quick look at it before I submit a price. As I looked at the incomer and mains board I noticed the main bonding conductor (singular, 10mm2) so I followed the route. At the end was the gas AND water main, the bond went to the gas then to the water, is this allowed or should they be separate?

no thats fine mate, they are suppose to be continous but if you cant do it continous then ive crimped lugs on them in the past

 

[Badger]

normall practice for a crimped lug anyway from me

 

[andyjw]

Thats what I thought but I couldnt find any reference in the regs

Should be unbroken. should have cable unbroken through clamp, then crimped to the next cable

Not a problem having the bond as a single run, I was also taught that if done this way the conductor should be unbroken along it's length.

I'm with AndyC and M107 on this one, and have mentioned it on another thread, somewhere.
