    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.

    What is wrong with bonding plastic water pipes and plastic gas pipes ?

    I know once you see plastic entering then you don’t need to bond as it says on site guide.(enters the house plastic then it’s metal) Would I be in wrong if I have earthed the plastic gas pipes ? Can someone point me in right direction in on site guide if it’s wrong and why it’s wrong ?

    TT system and gas bond

    Doing some bits for an old boy and checked the bonding, the gas bond does not go back to the DB or MET, but is staked right next to the main earth rod. I suppose it will effectively put the pipework in the same equipotential zone as the main earth, but just why make your life harder?

    Gas Bond in block of flats

    Hi Is it ok to link several gas meters from the MET in a block of flats which previously had night storage heating in all of them. I only say this because of the work it would involve running separate cpc's from each CU to the meters. Cheers Paul

    Gas Bond Yes or No?

    I have just carried out an EICR and the only C1 defect I found was no 10mm bond to the gas. As this is not a fixed gas feed but only a gas cylinder I guess this still requires an earth bond from the DB? (feeds hob only) My next question is, if the rubber hose from the cylinder was to continue...
