No, its just a live supply in the event that someone wants it, there's never been a meter, I should perhaps tap off it into a boiler and a gas hob, just think, nobody would ever know!

You say there is no supply to the property but the gas pipe is live?

If it's live there will be a meter so bond there obviously. If it's dead or redundant test see if its extraneous I guess.


EDIT for above.
In that case do what you suggested.

yes its live with gas in it, just no meter.

I was just wondering what others would do as to bonding it, that was the initial question, would you just remove a bit of the paint?

because its an extraneous piece of metal going into the ground which unless bonded would have a..... I don't need to explain as you know why, but It is was any other piece of metal you would, that's why I ask, theres a plug socket just next to it, metal clad, I'm just trying to cover all bases thats all.

Hi,

Nice easy one, I have a gas pipe, its metal, but painted, no supply to properly, its just capped, but live.

As for bonding, what would you do? Just sand some paint off and bung a clamp on it? That's my thoughts, whats yours? I know you are meant to only put it supply side, but there isn't one.

Test and bond if needed (99.5% sure it will)
When meter is fitted at a later date move the bond if required to satisfy you on site guide picture!
