A plumber removed the old kitchen tap & replaced it with a new one. The old tap & its old earthing is shown in the attached pics A & E.
Pics of the new flexi hoses & isolation valves shown in the attached pics B & C underneath the kitchen sink.
There was a joined earthing connection attached to the hot & cold water copper pipes directly underneath the kitchen sink tap. The plumber removed them & said they were not needed as the connection was not achieving anything between 1 hot water copper pipe & the other 1 cold water copper pipe. He said this bit of earthing did not need to be attached again to any copper pipping under my kitchen sink plus I already have a pre existing earthing connected in pic labelled D which the wiring feeds into the electrical meter box. Is this a correct statement & does my current earthing in Pic D under the kitchen sink tap suffice as a proper bonding connection? Best to check.
Any advice & help would be appreciated. Many thanks
