Bonding of drain cover in tanked basement

[Electric Magic]

Doing some work on a building with a tanked basement. In one corner there is a drain cover that is an extraneous conductive part so I need to attach a bonding conductor. I was thinking of something I could bolt on to the rim (about 5cm wide) that wouldn't interfere with taking the cover off. Anyone got any recommendations for a bonding plate I could use?

can you not drill a 7mm hole then bolt a 6mm nut and bolt with a lug?

Is the drain cover connected to a metal waste pipe?

Yes, didn't think of that but seems obvious now you've said it, thanks.

No unfortunately, otherwise would just use a clamp on that

Have you tested the cover to see if it is an extraneous part?

oops, pete, getting all technical, when i was going to suggest putting a rubber duck on it, see if it sinks or swims.

Think I would have a look at the definition of extraneous then, before I would start worrying about bonding it.

Outrageous drinking at this time of day, should of started earlier.

it's sunday, time to relax, attend church if you're that way inclined, sup a few, eat too much, sleep in the afternoon, tomorrow is another day.

Been doing that all weekend, might try some time out & go to church, see if I can ease up on the others. Sod it, no I won't.

If you are into making your own, have you ever tried Marrow Rum? simple to make but could be a bit iffy.

Yes, and it is

never liked gin. tastes like soap. single malt for shorts, IMO. real ale for supping. lager only if it's foreign.

No need I know what it means (and know it doesn't need a pipe attached to be extraneous), I've verified it's extraneous (I've tested it), and I know I need to bond it.
