There’s nothing else extraneous having worked and still do in new builds

You'd also need to remove any bonding from the met otherwise you'd likely get a path between the water bond and the gas pipeIf you disconect the main earth cable from the CU the MET and do the test from MET to the gas pipe and it is not extraneous then you would get a high Meg ohm reading
Yes your correct . Sorry did not explain fully as in most casees the bonding is connected at the CU not the MET so would of been disconnected in my scenarioYou'd also need to remove any bonding from the met otherwise you'd likely get a path between the water bond and the gas pipe
Makes a mockery of SOME of the SCHEME firms doing new builds doesn't it Archy? sometimes wonder why bother, doing an Apprenticeship, so who is to blame? Certsure? needs sorting PDQHad a nosey round a house once, plastic water pipe hanging in a big arc from cellar ceiling joists, with a brass stock cock half way along, with a nice juicy 10mm G/Y cable clamped to it, also hanging in a big arc, back to the CU.
Clueless!
I find it’s a lack of supervision/understanding as when we are younger we tend not to care as much.Makes a mockery of SOME of the SCHEME firms doing new builds doesn't it Archy? sometimes wonder why bother, doing an Apprenticeship, so who is to blame? Certsure? needs sorting PDQ
Dissagree with you on this one Ian, yes the inspector should have picked it up, but the Bloke that did the install, was /is at fault, no excuses for this cock up Sparky doing it needs educating with his P45. And I use the words Sparky with trepidation, more than likely been working with someone for a few weeks, knows it all, bond the water pipe jobs a good un, seen it many times. No offence meant in my disagreement.I find it’s a lack of supervision/understanding as when we are younger we tend not to care as much.
That is what the QS position should be about, to supervise and instruct, tho it’s often abused.
Not like you to dismiss anyone’s opinions is it?Dissagree Ian no excuses for this cock up Sparky doing it needs educating with his cards.
I'm not dismissing the opinion Ian, just disagreeing with it, your opinion is a valid one, but the faults lies not initially with the QS but with the "Electrician?" in the first instance, but in hindsight the QS should have picked it up, if he ever checked the bonding that is, I have a Friend who was a QS, and he assures me time for detailed inspections are governed by Bosses/Managers, with no interest in quality, more concerned with quantity, please don't take my response so lightly, it's a sticky issues with new builds and unskilled operatives, you must know how it works!Not like you to dismiss anyone’s opinions is it?
And why do we not have a photo - you know the forum rules . . . .Had a nosey round a house once, plastic water pipe hanging in a big arc from cellar ceiling joists, with a brass stock cock half way along, with a nice juicy 10mm G/Y cable clamped to it, also hanging in a big arc, back to the CU.

Here's something similar I found a while back. The plumbing in the agricultural building had been changed to plastic, but the label says don't remove, so they didn'tAnd why do we not have a photo - you know the forum rules . . . .
If we can laugh at someone else’s stupidity - We will!
Not worth responding to.Sounds like the old broken record is on again.
You just didNot worth responding to.
Would be rude not to respond to an insult like that wouldn't it Wesward, what a pity there is not a way to ignore a Moderator.You just did
What do you mean by a certain Mod, I removed your reply yet had nothing to do with the previous exchange between pete and westy.And yet again post removed by a certain mod without explaining why. Have the decency to say why it’s deleted even if it’s for your own adgenda
