    Bonding to Gas and water am2

    hi all, I have my am2 coming up. Just going over a few things. I am correct in saying that the Gas bonding would terminate in to the clamp below the joint, and not above it? Also, I was going to use one continuous length of 10mm is this allowed, or is it better practice to use to lengths? Regards
