    UK Gas pipe bonding: permissible options

    Hi guys I’ve seen people state in forums that it is permissible to bond a gas pipe as a continuation of the bonding of the rising water mains. Can anyone supply proof/documentation/official guidelines etc., where this is explicitly stated. Below is an image of what I am planning. My gas safe...

    Decomissioned gas pipe as a bonding conductor?

    What do you guys think about using decommissioned gas pipe which is welded throughout and 4" industrial in steel. I am clear on regs that say you cannot utilise a gas, oil or water pipe as a bonding conductor but this would effectively safe a lot of time and money.

    Gas installation pipe distance to CU

    The best position for a CU is in a cupboard that has a vertical copper gas installation pipe that would be about 25-80mm from a metal CU. This pipe supplies a boiler. Not a gas service pipe, or gas meter, just a copper gas pipe, with no joints, near the CU. 1) Is this OK by current regs as...

    What is this pipe on our pool deck?

    We have a mystery pipe on our pool deck in Southern California. Photos are here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/hqzBuwzGny3hVyhZ7 Do you think it contains electrical wires? If so, would it be 110V AC or 220V AC? It's located in a place that might be suitable for an outdoor (electric?) grill. Or...

    EICR cables behind gas pipe.

    Hi all, Came across this yesterday on an EICR. Cables and pipe were boxed in with MDF which, when removed, revealed some quite untidy cabling (although the cables all seemed secure enough when tugged) which also passed behind the horizontal gas pipe. I can't find the relevant reg number, but it...

    Why does my current clamp meter show large current in gas pipe?

    Went to a house this morning to locate a fault causing the RCD in a split load board to trip. Going through the usual tests, I decided to put my earth leakage clamp meter on the earthing conductor. Here is where it gets weird: with the main switch in the off position, the meter was reading...

    Car Suggestions - Pipe Carriers, Ladders

    Hi, It's got to a point that our poor car just isn't cutting the mustard anymore. It was never designed to be used as an electricians car. Up to now I've managed, but I've got much bigger jobs coming up needing to work at height, transporting conduit and so on, so it has to go. With family...

    Looking for some pipe, preferably plastic (but could be other material) that has an internal diameter of 26-28mm?

I need to get some weight plates for my barbell, standard 1" diameter hole (not olympic size). However...

    Blue pipe connections under build

    Builders broke ground today with the digger down the side of the house. They busted a lead water pipe which runs down the side of the house. Houses are fed in bunches of 5 from the street. That means me and 4 other houses share the same stop tap. Builders repaired the T joint and replaced...

    Main Bonding for incoming plastic pipe

    Hello All Noticed the existing bonding for the cold water supply is only 4mm. The supply pipe out of the ground is clearly a plastic pipe. It joins a brass stopcock under the kitchen sink cabinet and the rest of the plumbing in the house is in copper. I'm worried I need 10mm bonding and will...
