Answer
In many cases, yes! Bonding to gas and water pipes is essential for electrical safety. Equipotential bonding connects metal pipes to the electrical grounding system, ensuring all conductive parts maintain the same voltage. This minimizes the risk of electric shock during a fault. Without proper bonding, differences in voltage can occur, increasing the potential for electric shock. It's vital to have a qualified electrician assess and install appropriate bonding to comply with safety regulations.
