Bonding Gas Pipe

SKY · Mar 20, 2011

Got a CU change to do on a family members house. and hope to use this install at part of my Elecsa assessment

I don't think that the gas pipe is bonded at the moment but it will be a right pain running some a cable to it as its the other side of the house.

The main water bond will be fine, i'm assuming that I can't take from a water pipe colse the the gas pipe and cross bond between water and gas pipe?

Thanks In advance

is that one of those that won't stop flushing?

continuous as in unbroken at first position. so as by undoing the connection, the bond to the other service isn't lost,

page 39 GN8, it can be either, the point (I think) is, if you use a continuous bond from one to 'tuther, it should be continuous, because if it's a series of 'bits' of cable then there's the opportunity for the extraneous parts further down the line to become unbonded.

But you can also run separate bonds from the MET, to each service. So if one of them becomes damaged or broken, it is only affecting one bond.
