equipotential bonding with monobloc tap?

[ajrobb]

I'm about to renew a monobloc tap. Currently there is equipotential bonding between the water pipes under the sink. The new tap has 15mm copper tails. I'm curious if there is a need to replace the bonding when I've finished?

There is a laundry room next door and I'd be more interested in putting the equipotential bonding between exposed pipes in there.

Where does the bonding go?

This would be better in sparks forum

Not required, since the tap will electrically connect the two copper pipes.

Hold ya horses Lets hear where this cable goes first

Thanks guys. It is just a single wire between hot and cold pipes under the sink with the monobloc tap.

It is this lot I am more bothered about.

The pipes going through the wall go to the sink in question about 600mm on the other side of the wall. The other horizontal pipes after the valves, go about 2m to a washing machine.

Is the sink in a bath or shower room?

The sink is in the kitchen and the laundry has no sink, just a washing machine.

So you're keen on supplementary bonding because......?

I don't have an RCD in my MCB CU.

And you think that installing supplementary equipotential bonding in locations which don't call for it is the right way to resolve that problem?
