Earth provision after replacing water main with MDPE
 

Just to hijack this thread a moment.

If you have the type of oil fired boiler which is built into the
external wall such that the oil supply pipe never actually enters the
dwelling, is it still necessary to cross bond to it?

(Hint - i'm hoping for an answer in the negative!)

I don't think you should have bulk storage of flammable liquids anywhere near
the main dwelling. I always thought they had to be a certain distance from the
house.

It might not be necessary to bond to the oil supply pipe, but my thoughts
would be that in such circumstances, the boiler flow/return and other pipes
would be 'services' which would have to be bonded where they enter the
dwelling.

1.8 metres from a "hole" into the dwelling such as a door, window, large
vent, soffit vents etc unless protected from heat radiation (fire)

Thanks John, I knew I read something like that somewhere.
