Hi, hope someone can just clarify things......
in process of re-doing ensuite in house..........have removed old items and replacing with some new.
Basin pipes to both taps both had earth straps as expected which i have keep but had to push further back and is now behind plaster board ...tut tut... although can still be seen from airing cupboard side so hope thats okay
Question really relates to rad...have removed old one which had an earth point fixed to bottom and looked unsightly and replaced with a chrome towel rail .....this has no earth point attachment so can i connect to one of the pipes as it is all metal? Can i hide this (i know the answer probably is no!) but otherwise it will look worse than before! and do i need to put a tag on the return pipe too?
Another Q is that the shower is being resighted although there is no visible earth on the pipes but continuity does look as if it comes from airing cupboard....i have had to use a speedfit fitting so shall i just 'jump ' these with clamps and earth wire......although i will have no choice but to bury these
Thanks in advance,

If you have an RCD then leave it until version 17 of the Electrical Regs is published as allegedly bonding requirements are being removed

Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.0
