Qedelec, where did you get that quote from because i have just looked at reg 601-04-01 and if doesnt read the way you have written it. doesnt say anything about items that "MAY" come within the definition of extraneous,

That was taken directly from the Interactive disk supplied quarterly by NICEIC to Approved Contractors, and yes I agree it differs from the regs but as the NICEIC are in discussions with IEE who publish the regs, you can rely on the advice being the current thinking on the subject.

Thank you usuallyonscrewfix, praise on these forums is a rare thing but very welcome. We try to help.

Hi sijaysee. Do NOT listen to BAN.

Bad advice.

He is NOT an electrician!

No, I'm not. Are you?

He is a pendantic little ****.

If you say so.

Where have all your posts gone, BTW?

His advice is WRONG..

Can you produce any evidence of that. An ad hominem argument that because I'm not an electrician my advice is wrong doesn't work, I'm afraid, so unless you can prove it, you just discredit everything you say...

How far up your but can you get. Obviously not as much as you.

Bearing in mind this a DIY forum so compression joints are very likely to used instead of soldered on pipe work, can the pipe work still be relied upon to provide continuity?

I think you need to decide if you actually want advice and help from this forum or not.

If you don't, then perhaps you should leave.

If you do, then I wonder what you think the constructive outcome of a post like that will be.

And I think you need to back off!

You dont like my comments, then change yours.

Many a time, I've held out the hand of peace. But no, you always want to play the big man. You've always got to be right.

I'm serious, when I say you have issues, that you need to resolve!

And I think you need to back off!

I thought the alternatives I suggested were reasonable.

You dont like my comments, then change yours.

It's not that I don't like them, it's just that they were completely gratuitous, coming in response to something I'd said to someone else, not to you.

There are no restrictions on posting rights here - anyone can of course post in response to any other post - it doesn't have to be a "reply" to something said to them, but if it isn't related to the subject, and is just an insult, then what is the point?

Many a time, I've held out the hand of peace.

Have you indeed. Can't say I've noticed. Tell you what - you find all the posts where you have, and I'll find all the posts where you've insulted and carped, and we'll compare notes, shall we?

Don't misunderstand - I really couldn't care less what someone like you thinks of me - your general attitude and ability demonstrate beyond doubt that your opinions are worthless, but I imagine that other readers are getting tired of your constant sniping.

But no, you always want to play the big man. You've always got to be right.

No - I don't have to be right.

It's just that I often am, and there's not much I can do about that.

I'm serious, when I say you have issues, that you need to resolve!

I'm sure you know best....

 

[Bazdaa]

Yada yada yada...

Like I'm not tired off you!

See there you go again. How can someones opinion be worthless?

Lets also remember that this is a forum!

 

[Qedelec]

Come on now folks lets stop this now its getting a little silly.
Lets not ruin one of the best forums around.
Never put down to malice what you can put down to stupidity, and that goes for everything.
Life is far to short to take offence from anothers comments.
So says old Rhinocerous hide!!

Oh - I never thought for one second that Bazdaa was malicious.

But you're right - best just to ignore him when it's of no relevance...

have we stopped arguing yet?
Does any one have a thought on the above?

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Be nice to use one of the old high-current conduit continuity testers to check..

I guess they can't be relied on absolutely, as who knows if PTFE tape has been/will be used?

Bond across them to be sure?

Maybe somebody with the Snags & Solutions book could see what it says?

 

[ltfc]

Good answer, I would not rely on compression joints any way but just asked the question anyway. Threaded conduit is, i believe not deemed a secure earth so i would assume the same for pipes.

You know, when I read the previous post to this. I said fair point thats not what I'm here for ect ect. This is the best DIY forum around. But then I had to rush out and have just returned to this piece of cr*p.

BAN your an ar*e and always will be. I also hope that you will ignore my post relevant or not. Cos your just a sad sad person.

SO.. Having changed the cu in a flat this week, with a recently (prob3-4 yrs) refurbed bathroom. no rads all pipework boxed in except for perhaps 50mm painted pipe to the shower. all I felt I could do was cross-bond the hot and cold as close to the bath as poss. The ceiling luminaire was in Zone2 (a fixed bayonet type with no cpc) (noted on eic as unsuitable) cpc to the shower was ok, do you reckon this is ok?
According to the RULES probably not but we have to live in the REAL world
