Our mains water enters in the cellar & then runs up the side of the
cellar steps. Electricity comes in from the rear to the CU. Hence a
longish run (15m) of main bond cable needs to run alongside the water
pipe between CU and incoming water.
I am about to put Climaflex pipe insulation around the water pipe:
What is the correct way of running the bond cable - ie (a) clip to pipe
and cover both in Climaflex (b) clip cable to outside of Climaflex or
(c) clip bond cable to wall away from the Climaflex? [(c) is the least
convenient]
(c) is the correct way.
You could probably do (b)
I definately wouldn't do (a)
What would you consider to be wrong with (a): just the fact that it's
touching the pipe (why, cos it's already electrically connected to it?)
