Water and Gas Bonding
I recently encountered an installation that lacked proper water and gas bonding. This is a critical requirement in electrical installations because these are extraneous conductive parts. Without bonding, external earth paths can be introduced into the property, creating ‘earth potential’ and posing safety risks.
In this installation, all wiring was concealed, with external routes housed in conduit within the separate garage. Fortunately, the hall flooring was due for replacement, allowing cables to be run to their designated locations. I handled the necessary cementing work myself.
