Default Equipotential bonding in practice

bonding. I understand the requirements


Clearly you don't.

but there are certain
practical difficulties and I wonder if anyone has any solutions.
1. The new chrome towel radiator has nowhere to attach a clamp, will
connections to the pipes suffice and considering the aesthetics how
close to the rad do these have to be.
2. I will be using braided tap connectors. There is no pipe to
attach the strap on the tap side and I assume I can't rely on a
connection to the pipes at the other end of the tap connector. What
can I do here?


As I mentioned above, lacking in the understanding department.

I didn't mean to imply I considered myself as having an understanding
of all matters electrical merely that as someone with no bonding in
his bathroom understood that there was a need for it.

Thanks for the advice. Sorry I was vague on the non electric towel
rail.

I think this has allayed my fear which was in the event of a fault and
better connection on one exposed piece of metal than another to the
equipotential bonding that a difference in potential could still
exist. (takes cover in case of a possible further assault by Stuart).
