Ok when you have easy access to the pipe - as shown here - but these clamps can be a real pain to get "tight" around the pipe in restricted spaces. OK if you can get a pipe grip or similar to hold the clamp strip tight around the pipe as you tighten the clampscrew .... but otherwise - as the screw tightens its grip on the clampstrip - the free end of the clamp strip slips back . I really do think these clamps could be better designed to ensure a really tight clamp around the pipe
What an absolutely horrible design, I don't think I've sworn as much as I did trying to get this thing just to tighten. The poor neighbours are probably thinking I was having an argument with someone with all the shouting and screaming...
Good video but worth mentiioning the bonding cpc has to be a minimum of 10mm. Also, it needs to be attached to a gas or water pipe within 600mm(60cm) and before the first elbow or bend in the pipe
@@ellismcr1218 NEVER wire an earth bonding cable to a consumer unit. Earth at earthing spur if you have a electric shower if bathroom, or boiler isolator, kitchen use earthing rod. In to the ground. But always seek professional advice before taking on any electrical work.
@@liammacaodha4783 well yeah , it appears my copper plumbing is not nor has ever been grounded. The ground rod itself has been concreted over. Could I ground back to the electrical panel. Somehow it just doesn't seem like a good idea.
@@bipedalbob the purpose of a ground wire is to prevent electrical current from passing through your water pipes during a fault. Grounding to the panel is not safe.
@@benkingsbury8157 ben sorry to inform you but water is a very poor conductor, as with all elements known to man, find the resistance of water , and compare it to gold, silver, copper, and most none ferrous metals, water would be at the bottom of the list , on saying that, it is a better conducted than , plastic, glass, oxygen, gas, bedtime reading.
Is it à waste of time ? Take water pipes the bonding connection is made at the point of entry to the building and that part is connected to earth and so works until all branches where it is interrupted by plastic which would usually only occur in bathroom concealed pipework as who leaves plastic on show. All copper from entry to the building which is exposed is likely to benefit from an earth bond regardless of some plastic at the end of its run. Where there is plastic the route to earth is blocked so no potential and no harm done.
10mm on Water and Gas incoming within 600mm and before any branch T in pipework. If every electrical circuit is Rcd protected you needn't worry so much. The boiler casing itself distributes earth potential to most pipework. If any pre gas meter (before gas isolation vslve) or pre water mains stockcock pipework is MDPE plastic. Then NO eqopotential bonding is required only on exstraneous exposed metal. Which you can put you hands or body in contact with. If you're unsure just leave it to us electricians.

Thank you. I found that earthing-connection video well-made, and very helpful. As a result, I got the job done: much appreciated!
Thank you. No need for annoying narration when the technique shown is effective and easy. Easiest techniques are the hardest to find.
Perfect video wish i watched this first before attempting first one 😄

Where does that cable go? Show us please
Do I have to turn all the electrics off in the house before doing this?
That background music though 😜 what are you watching?
Why did u snip the copper with the pliers
Thank you
nice explanation.
Where does the other end of the earth cable go to?
It goes to the aliens, Jim. That way they can tell me who to kill next while I am sitting in the bath.
To the earth block
To the earth bar in the consumer unit
Obviously back to an earth bar or terminal at the MSB

Can this be done diy?
And what does the other end of the wire connect to??
The ground, hence the name earth wire. Literally

It is also not possible.
@@bipedalbob get an electrician to make sure your safe because this is not something that sounds like you can fix yourself
Hi, can I make the pipe earthing near my plastic water tank ?
Will it be safe?
Please reply
Is this going to work on grounding a copper pipe to sink I keep shocking myself at work when I wash my hands
In boiler room
where can I buy this/these stuff(s)?
Online
thanks for video. does the yellow/green earth wire go anywhere, ie is it attached to anything else or is it just left as is. many thanks
to consumer unit or earthing block
You attach it to the flux capacitor
@@ollydearden thanks!
Can you take them off without shutting the mains
nice rage bait
You could of used cable lugs
Hello sir could you explain me of how calculate size ground wire ?
By the size of the incoming live conductors.
If you have any , PLASTIC PUSH ON FITTINGS IN YOUR PIPEWORK, all a waste of time???????
The water inside those plastic fittings makes a very good conductor.
