Bonding.......again

Hi,


I have recently carried out an EICR on a property which probably had been victim to the Bathroom fitter. It previously has an electric shower which had been removed along with new fixtures and fittings including light and fan. They have left in a supplementary bond from the pull cord to one of the incoming pipes from the heating to the towel radiator.

Now then - My proposal, as there is no supplementary bonding (other than the pullcord to radiator), is to move the lighting circuit for the bathroom (upstairs) onto the RCD side of the CU as the Ze for the circuit complies and the Main Protective Equi Bonding is in place. I have measured low ohms between all pipework and it is 0.02 or lower. This is a more suitable solution than running a 4mm to every point.


My question is what do I do with the bond from the switch to the heating pipe? Do I leave it in or disconnect it. 


Many thanks for your time.

  • Either you have supplementary bonding or you don't.


    From the sound of it, you have bonding i.a.w. 411.3.1.2 and will satisfy the three conditions in 701.415.2 (iv) to (vi). Therefore you may remove what is left, but you are not obliged to do so.
