Otherwise, if an electrical failure causes the pipe to reach a dangerous potential then so does the water in it, then so do the hands you're washing in that water. Thus if there's an electrical discontinuity in the piping it is even more important to earth bond any conductive piping/taps etc. that are on the non-earth side of that discontinuity. The same applies too to gas piping except here the principal risk is static, sparks and the subsequent explosion.On Mon, Mar 06, 2006 at 09:49:39AM -0500, Steven M.
