I have just been reading through a specification for a job and the Consultant has requested that exposed metal pipework is bonded, which is obviously fine, but it says that a connection is made for every 230m2 of floor area even though the metallic pipework is continuous. I cannot and have never heard of this in the regs. Surely one connection for the whole building will suffice.
This is what the Spec says:
'Exposed metallic pipes shall be bonded to the protective conductor but where metal to metal joints exist and form a continuous electrical circuit of negligible impedance when tested, one bonding connection for a group of pipework installations may be made. At least one such connection shall be made for every 230m2 of floor area served by the pipework.'
Any thoughts guys?
Cheers
