I building an extension and I am doing my own electrics (with building control approval). My new water and gas pipes have been connected to earth at the meter box. All the pipework (CH/Mains Cold/Hot Water and Gravity Fed Cold) is already connected together (but not to earth) in the airing cupboard.
[b]Question 1.[/b] Is it a good idea to connect all these to earth again??
[b]Question 2.[/b] In the bathroom, How close to the sinks/radiators/towel rails does the bonding need to be? - If I am fitting two sinks fed by the same pipework, can I rely on the pipework as a conductor if joints are all soldered or do they both need bonding?
[b]Question 3.[/b] Can the connections to the pipes be just under the floorboards ie not visible once boards are down?
[b]Question 4.[/b] I am running a 2.5mm spur from the ring main (on the 30mA RCD in the fusebox) to the attic with a socket for the shower pump. Do I need to connect my bonding to the earth of the this ring main??
[b]Question 5.[/b] Should I bond all my pipes around the boiler and pump, and should this the be taken to earth??
Any advice welcome!!
