Hi guys
Ive just installed a new kitchen, connected the 3 year old range cooker back in with a new cooker connection unit as the old one broke by overtightning screws .
Once I connected the 2 gang cooker switch and earthed it to the metal back box and checked all cables were tight enough, and proceeded to connect the gas rubber hose to the gas pipe supply, but before shoving the bayonet into the gas connection , I held on to the gas pipe and got an electric shock, I then checked the power cable on the back of the cooker to see if everything is fine and earth on the cooker itself, which it was. Now, I started to look at the switch itself, all cables intact tight enough, Obviously to narrow the problem down I bought new 45a 2 gang cooker socket, installed it , no luck, same kind of a shock
The copper gas pipe seems to give me the shock every time, I tried touching other metal i.e gas cooker, metal parts of the hood , cutlery , tried a few tools, metal mechanisms of the kitchen unit. it seems these items are ok
This all happening with consumer unit cooker breaker on the OFF Position , whilst other breakers are ON position for other sockets
The earthing part to metal back box was taken from 45a cooker socket LOAD side, not the supply side. Still no luck , I then tried both load and supply , earthed to the back box, effing no luck? , can’t seem to narrow the problem down, the local takeaway bill is knocking me out
As far the gas pipe concerned, I’ve checked the gas box outside to see if it’s earthed with 600mm couldn’t see any metal clips , never have seen one inside, it’s the same gas pipe we are connecting too. But now there’s a problem
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated
Cheers
