[QUOTE="davey81, post: 104247, member: 7635"] Hello all, I was at a new build house today (build in 2008 so not brand new), there was no main bonding to the water pipes however the main service pipe was plastic (the rest of the installation is copper). Is this correct? and would you say it was best practice? What I gather is a water pipe supplied by a plastic pipe cant introduce a potential and therfore isnt an extraneous conductive part, therfore doesnt need bonding. However I've seen a live cable make contact with plumbing and imagine it would be best to have copper pipes bonded. Any opinions on this? [/QUOTE]
