Double insulated single core cable on outside of house to resolve earth bonding

Alan B

Hi I have to resolve an earth bonding issue where the incoming water supply pipe is cast iron and enters the house on the opposite side to the CU.

It's sold floors, beams showing although there may be a roof void but the easiest way is round the outside. I am considering using 10mm or 16m single core double insulated cable, blue or brown sleeved to green/yellow.

 

I am looking at this as a conduit run is a bit unsightly and takes time, just thinking there must be a better solution. Whats your opinion on the solution and any other ideas?

Thanks

 

Alan

    If G/Y isn't aethetically pleasing, I might think about conduit - either rigid or small flexible conduit - that can relatively quick to fix around bends and made to stay straight if installed a little tight. Since you probably shouldn't be using plastic hammer-in clips these days anyway, there's probably not a huge difference in time between installing P-clips and saddles.
