Hi All
Divided opinion over here so thought we would get a bit of advice.
Block of 30 flats recently had gas meters inspected and during a visit the National Grid issued the landlord with a letter saying that none of the external meters had any bond within 600mm as per regs.
Now I would have...
Please can someone confirm which side is the incoming side to the gas meter and which is the outgoing side. I am confident which it is, however someone keeps telling me differently and its annoying me. Cheers
Doing a CU change on a ground floor flat in a bock of low rise flats.
The flat is next to a plant cupboard that houses a cabinet of 1361's with what I think is MICCs (copper covered, two cores) feeding each flat.
It's a TN-S.
The gas meter for the flat is next to the cabinet and bonded to it...
Hi, why is it not possible to earth a gas meter via the earth of the nearest socket outlet?
Especially if the meter is on the opposite side of the house to the consumer unit?

I looked at a job today to add a new shower circuit. The c.u is close to the gas meter, less than the 150mm recommended. It is not going to be possible to move it as the customer won't pay the cost. Seeing as im altering an existing circuit not changing the c.u does anyone know if I have to...

(on a PME)
Hi I am not sure if this will apear to be a silly question but.
If the Gas service is on the other side of the building to the electrical supply TNS
do you think it would be acceptable to use an earth rod near to the gas service rather than having
a long length of bonding cable.
Also previous...
Hi Guys
I had our gas meter replaced for a new one the other day, and since then, when we turn on the central heating there was a smell of gas. I assumed that the gas meter wasnt fitted properly so I called out the gas company yesterday, however they have told me there is nothing wrong with the...

thanks in anticipation
