Bonding on Water and Gas

[telectrix]

this will not comply with BS7671, but it could be a get out for you. have to be entered on the cert. as a departure. bond the gas. then bond from the gas pipe at the boiler to the water stop tap.

This was my general idea to bond gas as thats at the front door, then at the boiler in kitchen bond water to gas.
Then note as a departure from BS7671.

I could just tape it to the floor................. but seriously the outside up the front is a no as its rendered white old victorian house so nice green yellow 10mm isn't the choice of the owner. Joist run the wrong way!! And well yeah great isnt it......

Could you not put it in white placcy conduit?

it's in a house, not some industrial unit.

 

[Snapester]

No its hard as its a nice place inside and well they don't want conduit/trunking running around the house. Which is fair enough i guess.

fuseboard front door - 20m to back of house boiler at very back.

What about some decorative trunking ran at floor level ( so it looks like laminate floor beading)?

I have had the same prob - I did connect to gas pipe using 16mm (as I had some in the motor) I then strapped across from gas to water at the boiler.
Did full testing which showed it was within regs and I made a note of departure to 7671 on the EIC.

the regs do state where practically possible 544.1.2

Or some tray and unistrut off the ceiling with some all thread !

 

[keniff]

just leave a few meters of 10mm green/yellow hanging out the fuse board, then as your leaving say "by the way the plumbers got to get a new water supply in there and strap that cable to it" job done
