The power of the hob is 2800W). I have a cooker switch which has its own dedicated 32A fuse. My...

    UK Main Earth and Gas Bond

    Folks need advice. House I am working on. TT earthing. The rod is closer to the gas pipe/meter box than the Consumer Unit. I wondered why I could find no bonding conductor in the CU.

    Bonding gas and water

    Hi, so I’m on a job currently and there’s no bonding to gas or water! Gas isn’t an issue, as the meter is in the same cupboard and the consumer unit. Water stop tap is on the complete opposite side of the house with no easy route without a fair amount of damage to decoration. Routing the...

    I need some advice please. My daughter has had a porch extension built. There is a gas meter box just outside the new porch. For reasons that are irrelevant the builder has cut the green and yellow bonding cable that goes to the meter box. Do I need to get this re-instated? For further...

    UK Gas Bonding Certification

    New gas boiler install. Previously no gas in dwelling, water is plastic. So no bonding presently. No other work, boiler supply to use existing Electric Heater Circuit. What certification should be used, It's not a new circuit, so not EIC. So just Minor Works?

    Gas meter 'vs' SWA cable proximity

    Hi Guys Would I be correct in thinking an electric cable can be as close as 25mm to a gas meter ? (not that I'd ever be that close out of choice) Or is it the 150mm reg as with proximity to consumer units, sockets, accessories... Had a quick scan in my on-site guide but not so clear - been a...
