Our Voltimum Experts answer your questions on a daily basis in our Technical Expertise area. This Question of the Month, concerning bathroom bonding, is answered by RECI:

Question: A customer wants a mirror with a light on installed over the wash hand basin. The plumbing has been done in plastic pipes and metal taps. The metal radiator is not bonded but has copper pipes supplying it, 1 metre from sink, and there is also a light and shaver socket supplied from 30ma rcd. Do i have to bond the radiator?

Answer: If a copper pipe leaves the bathroom to a location outside the bathroom all copper piping in bathroom requires cross bonding.
