If plastic pipework (of 1m length or more) is used, then the taps/metal
bath/radiators etc. should NOT be supplementary bonded. Doing so reduces
electrical safety. If the internal pipework of the house is substantially
metal, but with a plastic supply (i.e. MDPE), then the internal pipework
should be main bonded.
What about a steel bath where the taps are connected via long flexible
connectors, those flexible connectors surrounded by a nylon sheath.
Popular opinion suggests that the bath does not need to be bonded, and
I think that's right.
