NSomething has irked mycuriosity with this post and I have come to the conclusion that there is a degree of misinterpretation of the regulation regarding Main bonding.
Some folk are saying that the conductor must be continuous, I agree with that statement, but only if you are taking 1 conductor to the water or gas pipe and then on to the whichever pipe.
I get the impression that the Neuvo Electricians are reading thi literally, meaning you take 1 bonding conductor to 1 pipe and on to the next without a break, reasonable, if thats your prfered method, but the best way and most common way is to take 1 conductor from the MET to each bit that requires bonding, as I said before how can this be misconstrued? it's down to logic, far to many people read something, misunderstand it and think it's Gospel, I blame the training estabishments. Some good some not so good, this is what is wrong with the way we train people these days in my opinion. As Camerabloke would say "where is the popcorn"?
